Synthetic clay mit and wax removal
Hi All,
if I use a synthetic clay mit on my cars to remove any paint contamination will it remove any wax that is on the car?
Thanks

Like Mike says... It sure isn't adding any wax and the opposite of adding is removing.
I can't speculate how much wax is being removed by your clay mitt, but I can guarantee that your wax protection would last longer sans the mitt.

It isn’t recommended to use clay on a coated car due to marring so I’d say that same advice would apply to a sealant or wax. Many say they won’t use clay unless they plan to polish and I’m in that camp as well.

As mentioned by John, aka 2black1a, here's what I do and say,
When I get questions like this, for what is normally an very OCD demographic population, (detailing people), I FRAME the topic in EXTREME hypothetical questions like this...
Will using a synthetic clay mitt remove car wax off my car's paint?
Rubbing a synthetic clay mitt over a waxed surface won't ADD any wax. What's the opposite of the word add?
Remove
It's called, micro-abrasion and yes, rubbing ANYTHING over a waxed surface will act to remove or micro-abrade wax off the surface. Heck just washing your car with a clean, soft wash mitt and a quality car wash shampoo will micro-abrade wax off the car.
From experience it will also mar the paint. Mar is the kind, fluffy feel-good word for scratch.
I've gone back to detailing clay. I rarely use any of the polymerized clay substitutes any more unless the situation is right.
