Re: 5 Star Shine & Clay Bar

Hey Bruce,

Just thought I'd give a quick reply. There are a couple of posts here on claying that will help you see how absolutely easy it is. It's one of those things..... It's sounds so foreign, but when you actually do it, you'll think crap this was easy! Why was I so scared of screwing it up? Rubbing clay on the surface sounds contrary to everything you believe right? My God! It will scrath the bugeebers out of it.

Well...........just make sure you wash it first and after it's dry, park it in a place out of the sun where the paint can be cool. That's a must. Spray some of the solution on a small area making sure the mist covers the surface with the solution, then let the clay do the work. No need to push hard; in fact if you do, it's harder to work with the clay. Just rub it back and forth gently in a spot until you feel & hear (yes hear) the grit stop, then continue working this way through the area you just sprayed. Then wipe it off before it dries and move to the next spot. Don't be afraid to overlap sections. You can also turn & fold the clay again and again always working the dirty part into the clay.

In my opinion, don't do so much that it dries before you can wipe it off. It's that simple really. You'll feel like this process ain't right, but it will be and I think you be happy that you did it when you are finished. SMOOOOOOOTH baby, SMOOOOOOOOOOTH
