    Am I claying too hard?

    That’s before a wash. I only really concentrated on the hood of the cars as it was taking so long I had to just focus on oe area. I only have a das polisher so won’t be too harsh. Just using a orange pad and power polish on my golf did nothing. It’s like diamond coated paint.

    Am I claying too hard?

    I have neglected my poor cars a while and I’m trying to restore some beauty to them. I’m not at polishing yet but the claying is taking a long time and I’m not sure if I’m over working it as there is so much debris on the paint. Should all the debris come off with the clay or is there an easier...
