For all the naysayers who say you can’t clay black paint w/o marring

[Eldorado2k]

Here’s proof that you can.





Lets dry and inspect...



Any clay marring? Nope.







Dedicated to the people who said I just can’t see the marring because my vehicle’s white.



I clayed this entire GMC Denali with a Mid Grade Clay Towel [I never use a fine grade]



And the only small spot that the clay towel marred was the handle on the rear door. [I knew it as soon as I went over it]





...But there was no clay marring on the rest of the vehicle. There never is.

Which clay towel is that?

How many jobs per towel?

A ton. They last a long time as long as you take care of them... That reminds me, I better bring it inside.

What do you clay with?

Do you wash them after use? How do you store them? I've got one on order

Never wash them. Just spray them with my claylube [D114] and then rinse it with the hose nozzle on shower setting then air dry [preferably not in direct sunlight like here]



Bring it inside and store it in a safe place away from dust and make sure it has a vent hole. [a cool forum member hooked me up with this container]

I gotcha. Just curious as to if they can be folded back up after they dry and then stored or if they need to be flat with the nano surface up not touching anything

Do not let the nano side touch or it will stick together.

This might sound silly, but what do you do differently to avoid marring?

I tried to gently go over my car with a megs white clay bar (big box version) and ended up with some marring from it. Nothing alarming, but it was enough at the time that I made the time later that week to hit the car quickly with HD speed.

Do you find the towels easier on the paint/easier to work gently with?

I’ve used copious amounts of ONR at clay lube dilution, and UWW+, and neither really seem to do the trick.

Would love to be able to give my car a light clay quickly here and there if it needs it without feeling like I need to polish every time.
