sandwich baggie technique
Im trying the baggie technique on my own car, 1963 merc comet. After the usual procedure, wash > clay > meguires cutting > megiures finishing > wax. I try the baggie wipe, and there is some difference, but still a pretty gritty feeling. Whats the problem ? More claying Or no matter what the effort, the paint will feel rough with the baggie in hand.

Re: sandwich baggie technique
Considering its an older car, can it be pits in the paint itself and not above surface contaminants?

Has it been repaint anytime in the last few years?

Re: sandwich baggie technique
No new paint, maybe 20 years ago.

Get something more aggressive to use instead of clay?
Nanoskin Autoscrub towel or pads if you have a DA polisher.

Here's some tips and techniques for using the Speedy Prep Surface Towel with a DA Polisher like the Porter Cable 7424XP.
Note you can use these decontamination pads on any dual action polisher but they are not for use with rotary buffers.

Re: sandwich baggie technique
Hey, Mike. I have a new car (actually 1 year old) that I have kept up with Duragloss products, mostly. How do I know if I need a fine or a medium Speedy Surface Prep towel? Can I get the medium and not push as hard or do I get the fine? Thanks.

It may be junk in the paint
Would love to see a picture of your 63 Comet

Re: sandwich baggie technique
I am kinda new to this stuff but shouldn't you do the bag test while you are claying to ensure you have removed all contaminants? I recent clayed my 2013 mustang using Sonax clay kit and couldn't get it smooth. I just got a chemical guys clay kit and did a test spot on my hood and it feels smooth now.

Yes you should. If indeed there are still contaminants left on the paint, the OP wasted his time with all that polishing and waxing
Good catch rookie
