Hi There
I thought I would join the forum to see what everyone else is doing. I'm kindof a BMW nut and bought my first one in 1975 (a 1970 2002) when I was in college, before all the yuppies out there were buying them (and before the term yuppy was even around). My present daily driver is a 2006 M3 coupe in Silver Grey with a red leather interior. Ever since I first read it in BMW's owners manual, when washing a car I use clear water with no soap, and am convinced this makes wax last a lot longer....
Over the years I have used a lot of painful methods of waxing.....Blue Coral (two step process), Zymoil (using the paint cleaner worked but it about put me in traction.) I was finally convinced to try the detailing clay and get a Porter-Cable buffer. I just cannot believe how easy and effectively this process works. And, how quickly!
Here is my question. Is there anything that you can do to clean the clay? I havent had a problem yet, but I'm worried it might pick up a piece of sand or something and create a scratsh....
