To clay or not to clay, that is the ?

[joche26]

So I only had time to clay my car today. Next weekend I plan to do the polishing, waxing etc. Do I have to clay again?

Claying that often is not needed. Some people clay 3 months, 6 months or even 12 months (all depends on their environment their car sees and sits in).

I would just rewash your ride and your ready to polish.

Perform a simple test next weekend and determine at that time.....rops:

Definitely the only way to go! Environmental variables make this the only viable solution.

+2 for Bobby. Do the simple baggy test after the wash.

I would say if you didnt lay down some wax after you clayed and you will be doing a lot of driving between now and then then most likely yes. However do the baggie test as someone above has mentioned and that will give you your true answer.
