Great work Chad!

Had you considered using a more aggressive clay?

Thanks Bryan!


The 3M was the most aggressive I could get short notice. I looked into overnighting something more aggresive but it would have been at least $45 additional in shipping. :scared:

I felt the 3M was much more aggressive the the Meguiars Mild Clay or Poly Clay.
 


Great work Chad! C6's in white are STUNNING and that thing looks killer. I have been there and done that on a overspray removal (on a Yellow C5), and claying for 6 hours can test all limits of patience.

David Fermani actually recommended I try 4000 grit latex backed sand paper in the future (which I did) and it worked much much better, faster, and didn't cause significantly more marring then using aggressive clay.

Great job!
 
Guys, I have a few (maybe 20) specs of rail dust on one of my cars. I've clay'd, of course, to no avail. Granted, I don't have any aggressive clay; just the mild Sonus and CG stuff and the bar of PolyClay I won a couple of weeks ago. What would you suggest as a plan of attack? I'm thinking of giving the PolyClay a shot and then moving on to the more aggressive Megs clay. Or, is the 3M clay the way to go? Anything else I should consider doing?

Thanks Todd!

I've had a few people mention to me the micro mesh 4000 grit paper now and I will definitely have to check some out. ;)

I would try some of the Meguiars Aggresive clay. The only reason I used 3M was because I could find it locally and didn't have time to order the Meguiars stuff and have it in time.

Be sure to change the direction you clay in a few times...that really seemed to help with a lot of the hard to remove specs on this car.

I appreciate the advice.
 
The Vette looks awesome, Chad!

I have a white BMW I'm detailing this weekend that is completely covered in rail dust...

Hopefully it will come out half as good as the Vette did!!

Great work!!
