When the car gets dirty again what do I do? Just use car wash soap and than rewax? From what I understand the sealant type waxes only need to be applied once or twice a year so I wouldn't clay again until I went to apply a another coat of sealant right?
Sorry for the multiple questions in one but hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me, I feel like my mind is currently overloaded with all the other information I'm taking in and can't figure out this simple concept.  |
Ill take a stab at answering this.
If you wax and seal your car then drive it around. Every thing is going to accumulate on the car and attempt to grind its way in.
The question do you need to clay again before putting wax/sealant on top? Honestly today I felt the surface of my car and it was pretty clean but I felt a tiny bump here and there from stuff sticking to it. I felt it was so little that it wasn't worth clay baring before I put wax on it. The surface of my car feels like marble to my touch.
If you go in with the mind set of you waxed/sealed and it lasts 6 months and you never wash your car, by time you want to wax/seal it again I think you will have a lot of debris stuck to the car that needs clayed out.
If you wash often I think you extend the time you need reclay because you are removing things before they get a chance to dig in.
This is how I look at it. If this doesn't answer your question let me know.
