  • Love your videos, they helped a lot.

    Do you was your whole car then rinse the soap off or wash one section, rinse, and then do another section? Reason I ask is because I wash my whole car, then rinse it at the end, but by the time I start rinsing, the soap has dried. It that bad? Is it the sopa I use or the amount of sopa I put in a bucket to wash, maybe that I wash in direct sun light? This also happens when I use wet the whole car with a foam gun to begin washing. Or is it normal?

  • @Alax7 Your number one and biggest mistake is washing your car in direct sunlight! That is absolutely the last thing you want to do. If you have to wait until after sunset or get it done BEFORE the crack of dawn, that's what you need to do.

    I wash my car INSIDE my garage so I can do it anytime, and I will never experience soap drying on the car. If it started drying, I would wash and rinse it in sections. Letting it dry on the car may or may not create an issue, depending on the brand you use.

  • Junkman, what is your take on not using wax as lube for the clay. The water you just rinsed could be used as a lube saving time and detail spray. Thanks and great videos

  • @emmgsxr Did you mean WATER, not wax? Water is a lousy lube. The clay will stick and hang and eventually cause you to fumble it. That's 20 plus dollars down the drain. Detail spray is an excellent lube because of its slippery properties. And, it cost a heck of a lot less than clay.

    Use detail spray. You'll thank me later.

  • @Junkman2000 yea exactly using the water as the wax detail spray. Thanks for the info also what is your opinion on using m105 over meguairs diamond cut. Also with my 7424 should i use meguiars yellow pad or red with these products.. I know it depends on paint but i guess what im really asking is if you come to a rough spot is the red pad safe

  • @emmgsxr I'm not as familiar with the Meguiar's stuff that you're asking about. I think Diamond Cut is made for a rotary only, where M105 can be used on all polishers. If you go to MOL, they will more than be able to help you out.

  • @abukhiyaar It would be a good idea to only work until fatigue sets in. If that means that you break it up over a couple of days, so be it. Never do more than you can do with the same vigor at which you started. I would never clay an entire car in one day.

  • @Junkman2000 I see. Okay last question: in the situation where the entire car does need claying, would it be a good idea to do different sections each week so as to break up the time?

  • @abukhiyaar Absolutely not if you treat the clayed panel with the same stuff the other panels consist of. You're definitely over thinking this one, although I can appreciate your passion.

  • @Junkman2000 I see your point, but my worry is if i only clay and polish/wax certain parts, the car will come out uneven, no?
