A member on another forum I frequent has come up with some very valid point, so I thought I'd share them with you!
Quote:
You will then want to seal up the paint with a wax. Now I'm not up to date here when it comes to the English-language terms but as far as I know, regular waxes are made from a natural base (carnauba) and a sealant is just a fancy term for waxes made from synthetic polymers. A true paint sealant such as the Quantum Sealant System, I don't recommend applying yourself. Remember, stay away from Teflon and silicone based waxes and "sealants!" After a clay bar your car will be as clean as you will ever get it! I don't recommend washing your car between the steps, but giving it a good wipe-doy with a microfiber cloth and the detailing spray provided with the clay bar sure doesn't hurt! |

I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong as my car looks a little dirty after I clay it. The residue (a mixture of, I'm guessing, the liquid you spray on, a bit of what comes off the paint and a tiny bit of clay) comes off easily when washed.

If you use a correct liquid spray, the clay bar should stay in one piece. |

This is normal, depending on the lubricant and clay being used you may get some messy residue. Just wash it agin and you should be good, if not use a pre wax cleaner then your favourite wax or sealant.

Zymol Cleaner Wax. Rmoves water stains and spots left over from washing, and hides swirls. It does leave the white residue on the black trim though, and doesn't last too long. I wax about once a month with it.

I have used the Mothers California Gold 3-step products, and also their wheel cleaner.
Wash with their car wash soap, then do step 1, which is the cleaner that takes everything off the paint, then step 2 which is the polish and sealer, then step 3 which is the liquid yellow carnauba wax. It's EASY to use, and is user friendly as it goes on very easy and seems to really get applied to the paint very well and evenly, and buffs off very easily and completely without leaving any "residue" that you have to go back over to completely remove it, and the depth and shine is great. I know there are other products that are rated better, but to answer your question, I would not consider Mothers products to be inferior by any means. And for the price, which can be half of that of the more expensive lines, you get just about the same end product as the much more expensive lines. You can wax the hood and front twice for a tad more protection if you want. You may have to polish and wax the car more often with Mothers than with some of the other more expensive lines that have waxes that last longer, but for the end look, you can't go wrong with Mothers. |

More garbage. I like when it says it can only compare to the paint protection systems from new car dealerships, that stuff is crap and is the biggest rip off in the auto industry. The only thing that can bond to your cars surface for years is more paint, everything else is short term protection. A sacrificial barrier is needed but just don't pay more that $20 or so for it.
