Great Directions BB.
It's a long and tedious process, but the results are well worth it.

Call me crazy but I actually enjoy claying! (Well don't really call me crazy or I'll have to... well do something crazy ;)) I love how it makes the surface so smooth and clean I even went and got the Ultra Poly Clay from Pinnacle so that I could clay as much as I want to. It's a great product for crazy people like me who like to clay more often as it won't remove the wax or sealant underneath. Very cool! :)

If it doesn't remove the wax or sealant how can it remove the paint contaminants that are stuck to the paint? I would think contaminants are harder to remove then wax

That is an excellent question. Pinnacle's Ultra Poly Clay was designed for use by enthusiasts who keep their cars in top condition and who wish to maintain an immaculate surface. The elastic clay is made to glide on top of the layer of wax or sealant while the stickyness of the clay adheres to the protruding particles that are embedded into the surface and pulls them out. For vehicles with a great deal of contamination the regular Poly Clay would be better. :)

That is a pretty good question, and one that probably could use some scientific evaluation. I feel that it would be difficult for clay to remove an entire layer of wax/sealant with a small pass. Clay doesn't really "dig" into the surface (if used as per mfg direction) - it "grabs" particles that are sticking up above the surface of the finish (whether it grabs them and pulls them out or "shears" the particles off is another matter).

I have used clay over sections my LSP before, and by using my personal standards and evaluations (grabbiness of the mf when QDing, beading, debris ability top stick to the finish, etc) I couldn't tell that the clay had removed a significant amount of LSP. Just my personal experience on the matter.
