i use SpeedShine when i use the griot's mud (along with disposable gloves as the yellow dye gets on your hand), but for all other clays i use the meguiar's marooon bottle cheap QD.
thanks kenchan!!!

And Jar!!!
And Niz and Pint! Lol!
Much easier than i expected

I was ALMOST finished w wax and now i am at ballpark w mini!
Harry looks AMAZING! I clayed the hatch area 3 times-it was really dirty and i can't believe how much better it looks!!
(Soooo-if clay glides smoothly surface is clean but if it catches or hesitates it is picking up gunk-right? This is assuming lots of lubrication)....i used 3/4 of the spray that came w the kit and 1 and 1/3 clay bars. car looks great!!

I am going to Pints Complaining thread and let loose some vitriolic verbiage. Urgh.

in my case i can't really feel the clay catching at all..only visually see the clay working on the contaminant. with the meguiar's clay i had, when it felt like that, that was when it started to scratch the paint. almost felt like taking those old hard erasers for pens on paper back in the (pre-erasermate pens..pre-1980's).

Other than the first time I clayed the Z, I rarely feel the clay catch on larger particles. As Kenchan says, even when it feels smooth, it may still be picking up smaller contaminants. I use the detail spray liberally and am not afraid to spend extra time and strokes (that's what she said) with the clay.
