Default Can you clay too much?

If someone wanted to clay their victory red paint color every week...not that I would.....will claying it that often damage the paint?

Thanks

I dont think clay will knock too many mm off your clear coat, but correcting the micro marring from clay will. I cant imagine an environment where a corvette would need to be clayed weekly. Our clear coat is not that thick, and can only take so many beatings over the years.

While claying is NOT really needed every week. If you would like to do it a little more often than needed, why not consider a light of fine clay like Pinnacles Ultra Clay. You wont need a medium or aggressive bar and it will keep any marring to a minimum.
