Poll: Do you wash after claying?

TexasTeacher said:
Thank you ski2 for your input about "Rinseless wash". I plan to use Wolfgang's Uber RW first. Then, clay my 2005 G35 especially on surface panels. I will probably need to wait a full day to wax (I am a retired teacher). Lastly, I am thinking I could use Meg's Spray wax, unless I can figure out another easy on, easy off wax.
Can you recommend one?

Note that I use a rinseless wash as a clay lube so no need to wash after claying.

Megs Ultimate Fast Finish as mentioned above or Ultima Acrylic Spray Wax are my favorites.
 
I usually don't. I use nanoskin sponges and a rinseless. I do one section and wipe down, then move on. If its white, silver, etc., I may wash and then go straight to a lsp. If it is a darker color, I will use at minimum, a nice finishing polish before lsp to remove any marring from the nanoskin. Then wash after the polish, then lsp.
 
Rinse with pressure washer
Foam
2-bucket wash
Rinse
Re-foam
Griot's Garage surface prep mitt (fine/yellow) with foam as lube
Rinse
LSP or polish

This has worked beautifully for me for about a year now. Massive time savings from not having to clay and re-wash.
 
You can NEVER be too clean, wash away I say

I do not. I keep the entire process simple and always keep moving forwards.
 
I have always used a clay bar with soapy water for a lube. Can't imagine not washing it again after this process. The claying always seems to leave a film behind.
The difference is I do this only for myself. Does not matter if I waste twenty minutes giving it a quick wash after claying.


If I did this for a living however, I would change to the nanoskin or similar product if it could eliminate the second wash.

I always wash between steps
