If you want to properly clay a car you need to get down to a clean finish on the paint by using some kind of paint prep. You caly the car polish it then wax it. You guys are just washing your car then claying it??? Normally the dirt and crap a clay bar removes you cant even see with the naked eye.

red6spd. you have part of your cleaning method right, the rest sounds like your talking outa your ***. "prep the paint for clay" wtf wash the car with a Ph balanced citrus wash to remove old wax and oils first, then clay.....

i know my customers love the detail work i do and have been doing for years. now with my new PC 7424xp my work has stepped up to a new level.

anyways, clay = smooth finish..... period

Yep paint prep, surprised you never heard of it being a big shot detailer. It does the same thing your citrus mix does.
