The first time I ever did clay on the Z, I used about 1.5 bars of the Meguiar's kit. Since then, a single bar lasts me 3-5 applications at least.

Thanks Jar! That was a really small afea...but i will do better.

yah, ive heard others (not everyone) having the same issue so just be on the look out. your car is dark so easy to visually see when hazing starts to appear. it's not the end of the world, some clays are intentionally coarse and haze on purpose.

but i doubt the 'soft' clay was suppose to.

just use scratch-x or mild polish and it will go away. in my case, it took several panels before i noticed the hazing since #1 i wasn't expecting it, #2 my car is silver.

was a pita polishing it since i wasn't planning to do any polishing that day.

if it rains on f-day (high probability), im going to polish my Z.

msbc- btw, the griot's yellow mud has its own problems. it's so soft it takes some getting use to to make the clay glide smoothly at first. if it catches the paint during the glide, it leaves behind a thin film of clay...which takes takes a few more strokes to clay it off. weird, huh?

im use to it now so i dont have this problem these days.

i use SpeedShine when i use the griot's mud (along with disposable gloves as the yellow dye gets on your hand), but for all other clays i use the meguiar's marooon bottle cheap QD.

I use the Quik Detailer (maroon bottle) because it comes with the kit I buy. However, I now have a bunch of the Adam's Detail Spray - I assume I could use that in lieu
