Car Wash Shampoo + Clay Bar

[im_wicked247]

I plan on claying(pinnacle) my car this weekend and dont really want to use the clay spray(too much $). What car wash shampoo do you peps recommend I use while claying my car?:bounce

I like NXT, but pretty much anything with good lubricity will work.

A few drops of any carwash shampoo in water will work just fine. If it is not slick enough, ad a few more drops.

I used EO Wet car soap with some water and it worked great.

"Peps"... is that where Pep Boys came from? Yo, it's my Peps!

Just about any car wash soap will do but I use Meg's GC.

P21S works fine with clay.

Meguiars GC works great for me:up

There seem to be clay/shampoo pairings that work and others that make the clay go "mushy". I haven't tried the Pinnacle clay, but some "yellow" clays I've used (Griot's and IIRC Mother's) are sensitive to wash solutions. You'll know soon enough if your combo is a good one or not (and if not, use the lube).

Yeah my Mothers clay starts to come apart in my hands if I use car soap and work on a really bad car. I still use a few drops of NXT with distilled water for clay lube though.

I made two batchs of clay lubricant one made of Meguiar's #00 and the other made of Meguiar's #62.



Both mild and effective.

what ratio water to car wash is everyone using?



Is anyone using distilled water?

I use a few drops in a 32oz spray bottle, and fill the rest with distilled water.
