Default Quick Question on Claying

Has anyone experience their claybar leaving a stain or cloudy finish on their clear coat? If so, what was used to remove it.......

Sounds as if you have had some of the clay "shed" off on the paint, this can happend if too little lube is used, the lube has dried before you got the area clayed and/or the paint finish was too hot to clay.

Just reclay the area and the bar itself will pick up the extra clay hung on the surface.

:iagree: A good wash will also remove any remaining clay.

Wash the finish, or simply RE-LUBE IT(liberally) and re-clay the area. :cheers: :thumbs:
