Claying my car.

yu · 03-22-2006, 10:07 PM

I attempted to clay my car for the first time today, and I don't think I was very successful. I was trying to get the sap off my car, but it didn't come off. What am I doing wrong? Not enough pressure? Too much lubrication? I need help!! Thanks.

You can never use too much lubrication. Only light pressure is required, if claying doesn't work...

Clay isn't designed for removing sap. Use a quality soap and water. Clay bars are for more complex imperfections, like brake lining residue, and road junk.
