Just got done with the interior on the 74 car. Pulled it all out and completely cleaned it. Car has been buffed with a combination of PS21 cleaner and Mequire's scratch
remover. Really turned out nice. I picked up the Mequire's clay bar system too. What has been your experiences using them? Is it worth the effort? I gather once it's cleaned with the bar, you just apply wax or does other prep work need to be done to get the clay residue off (if any)? Thanks Tod |

Griot's Clay bar & Speed shine, worth the dollars as it works the way he says it will. The others I have had mixed results with. I have found it is cheaper in the long run to get the better product and use it right than , be driven by the price point and have frustrations with the end results.
Keep it all of them lubed otherwise they will stick and leave behind a film that is almost impossible to get off. the cheap stuff does it way faster than a pro-product. Clay will work on all painted finishes. I would not use it on a pebbled finish or something like that, but a standard auto-top coat will be fine. You will notice a difference one you are done. |
