claying

[KrisMas]

Then we're all been duped.....MUAHAHAHAHA.......

On a serious note, serious mental note, will need to dwell on this further and do more trials (the next time my cars need claying...which won't be for quite some time...:p)

I would love to see some scientific test on marring: claying with lubricant and claying with just H2O. But intuitively, claying with lubricant would reduce the risk of marring. Personally, I clay with water only. I too do not notice any difference compared to when I clayed using lubricant -- but it could all boil down to technique.

If we clay and then polish this is not an issue.....

So even claying is a voodoo science topic ah?

s1tl : I sometimes use OPC to clay because it's silkier. But I have to rinse immediately after and that's highly time consuming. Do you clay with a running tap or just dip rub dip rub style?

Ah! How to clay properly?
Well, I still use shampoo solution as lube. Flatten clay bar, spray lube on paint and clay with light pressure. Make sure you don't drop the clay bar....

Err.. can try my method la if you think is useful. Use a plastic bag cover your hand and feel the surface. If you feel there is something on on the surface then need to clay. I use ONR as lubricant. Never tried got marring when I have a clean surface to clay. Only got a few hair line before cause I think I picked up some tiny hard object then when wanna inspect the paint only I know I screw up from the preparation. I tried use opc to clay before and then end up my claybar melted. That's why I ask you how come your claybar wont spoil.

I clay left right up down, then wipe dry with a damp mf to feel is there is any pokey pockey feeling on the surface. If you not use to check contaminants with damp mf then use plastic bags.

What was your concentration for ONR and OPC? My OPC was super mild, 1 part to 10 parts water. ONR I'm doing 50-50

Btw has anyone tried soft99 claybar before? I have seen someone wrote that it is more durable than PermaGlass claybar. I still have half of PG claybar so still don't wana waste $$ to buy soft99 to try yet.

Soft 99 clay bar to me about the same as the PG ones.
The problem is soft 99 harder to find, less places selling. PG ones supermarket/hypermarket have....

Same findings as bro VR, find the quality about the same. Used to clay using the green soff99 but can't find it later on so switched to PG blue and still with the same bar after like 1year, and that also still got 2/3 untouched.

Why does PG have 3 diff types of clays? "For Light paints", "For dark paints" and "for weathered paints"?

I don't see a difference in the end result.
