Adams polishes...a head scratcher

[Sizzle Chest]

I've clayed coated vehicles before. Use fine clay. Plenty of lube. It will not mar the surface.

22ple also recommends claying a coating and makes an ultra fine clay for it

Given the somewhat fragile/precise nature of this escapade, I thought it better to use something smaller than my Nanoskin mitt or Sonax Clay Disc.

With half of a clay bar it was easier to keep it swimming in lube and to keep even pressure, albeit very light & really no more than necessary to keep the clay under my fingers. With the larger form factor of the mitt/disc there seemed to be a greater chance of catching a dry edge which would leave a mark no matter how much lube is on the surface.

Having always clayed with polishing in mind, my usual method with synthetic clay is akin to a monkey chasing a banana across a slippery, wet panel; “Know Thyself…” and avoiding that possible mayhem seemed like a good idea

When I've used the clay mitt, I've used it while washing. Wash the panel, dip the mitt in the soapy water and clay it and then rinse. That seeems less abrasive than using a clay mitt and a spray of QD.

IMO that's the best way to do it...if chemical decon doesn't achieve your goals first

22ple has been having some stocking/shipping/manufacturing difficulties after the pandemic...Pretty much back to normal about a month or so ago, so now it's just catching up.

In my mind and often what I tell friends and family is that clay bars(real or alternatives) are typically for machine polish prep and that's it. I think chemical decons are effective(enough) to get most jobs done well enough. Not perfect, obviously. Interesting subject.

Now I want some super fine clay! lol I see carpro has some. Comes in 3 grades.
