Claying is a potential solution when there is extreme overspray but it is an abrasive that takes a layer of paint off the car...


Santa Fe,

You're joking, right? Forgive my incredulousness, but that statement is about the most misinformed as any I've read on this board or any other. I have used clay for the last 7 YEARS on my various vehicles, and have yet to experience anything remotely close to "taking a layer of paint off the car". On the contrary, my experience with clay leads me to the conclusion that it the best finish cleaner available, and leaves the clearcoat as smooth as glass. I own a Porter Cable random orbital with all the trimmings and it rarely gets used. I use clay maybe twice a year at most per vehicle, followed by multiple coats of Zaino etc.

This is not a personal attack, and I don't mean to bust your balls, but I must call b*llsh*t when I hear it.
