Why is it not good..

R1DC2 gave me about 3/4 a bar of this blue clay he uses at work. I dunno if it's clay magic but it works :)
 
I used plenty of lube. That picture was from when I did it during washing, and I used a lot of suds. It was odd because both times the clay barely even grabbed at the paint, yet when I dried the panels they looked like that.

I think it was the one I used last weekend and it's not an abrasive clay, I found it to be mild and have a small bite. Well that's just what I have experianced with it. That's why I really want to try the Meguiars profesional clay, sopposed to have some good bite to it.

This stuff in the amazing! I have only used the Aggressive and this stuff kicks butt. However, it does break down faster than the 3M clay, which I think is the best moderate/medium clay you can get. It's a bit pricey but it last a long time and is very consistant in it's use.
 
Think of clay as a wet sanding paper in a way...it comes in different grits..from 10,000 grit to 260 grit....clay comes the same way....some are real fine grit and some are heavy grit....the over spray clay used in body shops to remove heavy over spray is heavy grit and will mar paint..it is designed to cut....the fine clay is a finer grit and is made to just remove fallout and finer materials on paint....

you will not remove over spray with a fine grit clay as good as a heavy clay..

heavy grits will leave some marring due to the grit ...that's why lubes is used to minimize it to a point...

finer grits are like polishing grits...very fine and leave no marring or very minimal marring...

Good analogy :)
 
Maybe you're using too much pressure?
 
So where does the Wolfgang Poly Clay fit in? I assume it is more abrasive than the Pinnacle Ultra, but am not sure. Would it be a good choice for one annual session?

I'm guessing it's those once or twice a year clays.
