Direct to use machine polishing using Meguiars d151 after washing without claying

[apollofin]

Hi members check is it possible to polish a daily driver car without claying ? As one try any difference with Clayed properly car and non clayed car. As customer only want cheap polishing. And mass production type.

It is very possible

It is possible that the car does not even need claying

Do a Baggie Test with the Customer to let him/her feel the contamination

If it is still a Quick & Dirty job for Cheap....I would clay the hood anyway

With my Speedy Prep towel it takes about 5 minutes to do a hood


If they are that Cheap....you should probably be doing a Cleaner Wax anyway. Fewer passes, faster, longer lasting LSP

If your asking if you should polish a vehicle that needs claying, the answer is no.

You'll pick up some those contaminents into your pad and instill swirls pretty bad.

If they don't get pulled up, they'll be left on the surface, not giving you a flat surface, which is what gives you shine.



Like Allenk4 said, they're are other tools for mechanical decon beside claying. There are sponges, towels and even DA pads. Making the process alot quicker and easier.

Just remember, the finished product is a direct relationship to the prep work...
