Recently, FN made a comment in a thread about using the same brand of clay lubricant as the clay. She mentioned that it sometimes makes a difference.
I somewhat put this to the test. Not truly as I was not using different brands of clay lubricants. Here is the story:
I used Pinnacle Ultra Ploy Clay (http://www.autogeek.net/piulpoclkit.html) today and shortly into the job I ran dry on the Pinnacle Clay Lubricant. I had some Meg’s NXT Speed Detailer (http://www.autogeek.net/mg13224.html) near the end of the bottle so I tried using it. That bottle, like the Pinnacle Clay Lubricant had very little left so it too ran out before finishing the job. Next up was Poorboy’s Spay and Gloss (http://www.autogeek.net/pbsg16.html).
The results:
Meg’s NXT Speed Detailer: GOOD. It seemed to take a lot of the product to help the clay do its job. It was not very slick.
PoorBoy’s Spray and Gloss: BETTER. It was very slick and has a nice lemon/lime scent. It seemed a bit harder to wipe off the residue. As in it took more time to completely wipe off without streaks.
Pinnacle Clay Lubricant: BEST. It was not as slick as the PB S&G but it took very little product to help the clay glide across the paint. It was very easy to wipe off with no streaking.
