Only did the front bumper, doors, a pillar, side skirts, hatch and rear fenders. It all feels smooth but I was really hoping to get rid of some marks. No dice. Lots of tiny spots disappeared but it also seems like a lot of different ones appeared afterwards.

Pint did you use enough detail spray. I use a lot because otherwise the clay will create thin marks/scratches.

Yeah, I used plenty. These are tiny spots like the dirt specs were relocated. But holy dirty hatch! Took me forever to do it and I'm still not happy with the results.

I'm probably not doing it right. Oh well. It's still not getting rid of any scuff marks or what look like bird crap spots.

I really doubt that; it's just not that difficult. And frankly, clay isn't really supposed to get rid of big scuff marks or anything. It is designed to get some of the more stubborn dirt and grime out of the clear coat so that the wax can go on the cleanest surface possible.

Arr... I am on 111.....

still have a long way to get close to the legend... you know... the edge-legend...




the clay will remove most of the dirt on the surface, but then you need to do a quick wash, then re-apply wax on the surface.

Also, make sure you fold & knead then flatten the clay bar when the clay bar gets dirty...

Also washed Melody's Acura. Just got back from the store, got food in the oven, and getting ready for a Festivus party :tup: Enjoy your Saturday evening everyone :tiphat:

Sounds to me like you need a proper paint correction performed with a Porter Cable (or similar) random orbital polisher.
