Warrning Mig-lier's Clay Bar

[Guest]

Bit of a dumb question, did you have the car really clean and did you use plenty of quick detailer spray?

Washed it then Clay barred it and as I said used 3/4 of the bottle of detailer.

I'll show a detailer and see what they have to say about the damage.

I gotta ask the question....do you think maybe the scratches where in the paint before you claybar'd the car and the megauirs product didn't just strip the old polish off showing the prior damage?....that was the case with my car until i re waxed the car.

Fair call there, but no.

If you guys saw the lines of the hood you'd swear your asses off. Theres scuffs up to each line of the hood. Its sad to lok at. I F'N hate it.

fair enough mate. Lets hope the damage is only on the clear and top coat so it can be polished out with commercial grade product..

Thanks mate, I just don't want anyone here to have my problems.

I used one today but it wasnt Meguires. The one I used was from a mate Mr Roundabout (rapid will know what im talking about) and it worked a treat.

I did whilst washing the car. Washed with sponge and left the suds on then used the clay bar. Came up really good. Came up better with Polish.. Now I just gotta wax it......... Tomorrow Should look

Ps there will be pics

Only use fresh clay bar. Clay bar that has gone slightly hard on the outside is no good. It will damage paintwork but clay bar that is fresh and soft will do its intended job. But after using it you will still need to some sort of polish. I use 3M glazing compound with a orbital buffer.

Dont worry too much about it, it should all buff out well.

If you have to leave it a day before you polish it, i'd definatly wash the car again befoe you polish it. Otherwise you may wind up polishing surface debris back into the paint.
