spot claying

Depends on the LSP, but I'd have to say no, if you go easy and use alot of lube. It'll remove a little bit, but there still should be some protection behind, if only used to remove bugs and tar.
 
Intercooled- I do this all the time (literally with every wash) and while it will *eventually* make a dent in your LSP (think spots that get clayed over and over), it doesn't take off much. The trick is to do it gently enough that your clay "cleans the LSP" rather than "cleans the LSP off the paint". From what I hear, I must clay more gently than most people, so only do what you have to do to get the [stuff] off the LSP.



IIRC, Sal Zaino said that it'll take off "about half a layer" of Zaino, if that helps any.
 
Today I applied a coat of NXT to my Honda's paint. There was NO wax on the paint after the long winter. Rain was threatening for the afternoon so I decided to just apply the NXT and was able to get the entire car done. Paint still felt rough so I clayed the fender. Wow! What a difference! I got the hood and other fender clayed and applied another coat of NXT before the rain came.



What's left is the top and doors. The rear hatch and quarter panels were repainted a month ago and just received a coat of 3M glaze. I plan to clay the rest ASAP. Should I apply another coat of NXT? I did put another coat of NXT on the hood and it looks great.



I'm glad I did clay because it did the trick. Should've done it before applying the NXT. :(
 
Yep, I was impressed how the surface of the paint went from rough to smooth with just a single claying. I didn't realize how much the paint needed it after the winter. I look forward to claying the rest of the car ASAP.
