| Re: ***CLAY BAR - create new scratches????*** Also, try to avoid claying in cold weather.
If you must, then keep the clay warm. I use a hairdrier or the cars heating.
Another thing is to keep the clay clean.
On the more neglected cars I do, say 2 years plus daily driver no claying before, I do 2 or 3 passes with the clay bar. first is super soft pass, only a few strokes to try an pick up the larger particles and, most importantly, identify where the scratch inducing particles are in the area I am working. I then wipe the clay with MF - picking ut any particles frm the clay.
Second pass is to take out the @audible@ paricles working the specfic area. If you listen when claying you will hear them. Final pass is to level the remaining.
Lastly, when I clay, I get up really close to the paint. If the angle is right and the light is good, you can see some of the imperfections and particles that the claybar removes.
