Strange claying process

When I use soap it's after a wash, so I just rinse again. If I'm not going to rinse I use QD or clay lube.

I've seen a lot of production detail shops/production detailers leave their clay bars in their wash buckets and after washing the car either rinse and the clay or worse, clay before rinsing...


All kinds of ways to skin a cat...


I know after teaching detailing classes for probably every car club in SoCal for Meguiar's that I've seen my share of car owners freak out when they saw clay smudges left on their car's paint by the host of other Newbies working on their car as a part of the class. So I'm sensitive to people new to doing the basics including claying.

The last thing you want to do to a Newbie is freak them out at the claying step because it only gets more intense as you move to using a machine to "touch" their car.


:D
 
I was just saying that I think most of us that use soapy water do it post-wash, after rinsing, with fresh soapy water, then rinse again to remove the soap. As noted, some clays can be degraded by the soapy water, but most are not.

Hi autogeeks,

I have contacted Bostik USA and this putty is definitely not available in the United States nor in Canada. It is made in Australia only. Danube was speaking about the white one. Bostik Australia sells the white one but it's packed with different colors. You cannot purchased the white one only.
Anyway Bostik Australia does not sell their products to consumers but they have resellers in Autralia and England ONLY.
