Clay Cloth
cuprajake:
While i have used clay. I still don't see the point. If the cars cleaned properly before machining then there's no need to clay.
Clay for me is fairly gimmicky. While it does have its place for the home user who won't be machining the car.
I've machined my cars for years without clay to no I'll effect or difference in end result
petesimcock:
I disagree. But I'm not a man of vast experience. Do you not get through pads quickly? And have trouble getting consistent results?
cuprajake:
Not really.
Depends on the pads and products used I suppose.
We use the 3m perfect it range but I mix 3m pads with indasa pads. We also use trizact pads sometimes dependant on the job.
If you use products that strip wax, tar, etc your only going to be left with some contamination, this may be overspray if from a body shop. Or just general crud. But we managed to get amazing results before the clay came onto the scene.
I'd even go as far as saying using something like tar and glue to saturate and melt the tar to be removed by cloth is better than smearing it all over the panel. The minute you pick up the slightest bit of debris the clays ruined.

These cloths won't remove tar, so it's essential to de tar beforehand. I have always wondered about claying before machine polishing and if the paint ends up silky smooth. I'd be interested to see a 50/50 for sure!
