So you polish in garage? Anyone do outside?
I’m not sure what it means when detailed say one step or two step lol

The lubrication from these ones is impresive. And helps you to get less chance of clay marring. Also folding the clay bar often is another way to be holding down the marring.
I do a chemical decon with a tar remover and iron remover if needed. This helps you get the claying easier done. An iron remover at least to get the iron particals easier off than claying alone. Even new cars can have a lot of iron particals and industrial fallout in it's paint. If you where to notice no color changing when you apply the iron remover you can save it for later.
Many ways to go and this just how I do it and sees on it.
Is there any other Decontamination I should know ?

Re: claybar recomendations
you cannot polish or do paint correction in the sun. The surface has to be cool to the touch. Maybe on a overcast cooler day you could get away with it but I always do it inside. A one step product does minor paint correction, polish, and protectant at the same time. Thus two step, polish then protect.

Re: claybar recomendations
So two step is more time consuming but better way for protection?

One step = Use a product like Blackfire One Step where a single product will remove paint imperfections, polish, and leave a protective coating.
Three step = Use a separate compound to remove paint imperfections, a separate polish to perfect the paint finish, and a separate product to protect the paint.

Re: claybar recomendations
I have never used a one step, I have other product to use up. I was thinking about trying it but we have both our cars ceramic coated so it's not needed. I only do family and friend's cars as a hobby. I just did a car using a yellow pad and Poorboys SSR1 on a friends car but he didn't have time to polish so we spray waxed and will do at another day. I think they developed one step products for the masses doing detailing for money.

This is not completely accurate.
Many lines of product are sun-friendly. Griot's, 3D, Poorboy's, etc.
That said, would it be a good idea to use them in Florida, Texas, or Arizona at noon in July? Of course not.
But in the Northwest, Upper Midwest, or Northeast, there are most certainly days from spring all the way through summer when these products can be used in full sun with no problems.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Of course you can. Been using Hdspeed in the socal sun for years now. No sun issues. 95% of my customers are happy with an AIO

Re: claybar recomendations
These videos are old, and you can tell because there are 2 videos instead of 1 video and that is because at that time, YouTube had limits on video time LENGTH. Ha ha.....
If I remember correctly, I cover both the clay and the process of claying in absolute in-depth detail. More so than I've ever seen anywhere else and this video was shot in 2010
Here's the original thread and there's more information here too....
How detailing clay works and how to use detailing clay to remove above surface bonded contaminants
