Gonna Attempt Claying Today... Quick Question.

[N!CK R]

When is it best to use the clay?
I.e. just after i have washed it and rinsed it? Or should i dry it first and then apply the lubricant for claying?

Cheers
Nick

You might aswell leave it as it is, as the water already on the car can act as a lubricant aswell. So no point in drying.

once you have washed it and hosed it off i would get straight to the claying, theres no need to dry it first as you will be wetting it again with the lube anyway

If using QD to clay with I dry it, if using soapy water leave it wet.

[Rich]

Would not bother drying then.

Shouldn't be, just wash it al first and then effectively re-wash a panel at a time afterwards, claying as you go.
