How difficult is this for someone who has never done it? What is the technique?



Also, once you've passed it over, and the finish feels smooth, is that it? Or do you then need to remove residue left over?



:confused:



thx
 
You simply pass the bar back and forth a few times and that is it. A well lubricated surface should leave no residue. It is very easy and simple to do. Use back and forth motions. Very little pressure. To get an idea of time, I can clay the average trunk in about 10 minutes. Maybe less.



The biggest concern is cleanliness. Wash the surface WELL before claying. I tear the bar into small pieces, then work the small pieces into tiny wafer thin slices which I glide over the surface. When the slice shows traces of dirt or looks used, I flip it over. When the back side looks usd I throw it away.



I resist the temptation to knead the used sections into the bar and re-use it because this is just working dirt and debris into the bar which is a possible future problem. The little thin wafers I make are very small and quite cost effective enough to toss away. Small insurance against scratches.



I use a few drops of Zaino car shampoo in water as a lube. Zaino clay is my favorite. Other ones I like are Mothers, Pinnacle, and 3m.

Chris,



I am about as novice asyou can getat tis stuff. I set out and a Clay Amgic kit online, opened it up, sprayed the lubricant and slid the clay back and forth on the paint.



My 9 year old Quest's paint felt like a baby's bottom afterwards...I did the glove test(per the kit's instructions and it WORKED great!!!



I highly recommend Clay MAgic bar for beginners, no hassle, no soggy bar, very easy to break away, ply shape and work with.
