Thoughts on Claying

[opass]

Thanks Accumulator, very educated response as always. I think I will try spot claying next time I wash and see how much I can do before the car begins to dry.

You could spray water lightly every couple minutes to avoid drying out too soon.

When you wash your car and then try to clay after the rinse, won't the car begin to dry, therefore creating water spots? Whenever I final rinse my car I really try to hurry and begin drying because the car starts to dry. I would love to elimnate a step but am afraid that by claying during the rinse, the car will dry.



Please give me some advise as to how to do this and keep the car wet. I don't have an assistant to hold the running water on the vehicle.

I did my wife's car yesterday and kept the hose close by "refreshing" the panel when it got too dry.I will probably try a spray bottle with strong wash solution to keep it lathered after a quick spray from the hose.

I had assumed he was already doing this in the normal course of washing.... I gotta watch that "assuming" business

I clay after washing and use Sonus Glyde which smells great and is very slick. I tend to do a quick pass of soap and water after claying to make sure no residue is left behind.
