Hey Bert, I am not sure to be honest. I still have some of the FK1 decon, so I will use it up. I do feel claying offers a greater bang for the buck, but here is my experience so far...
-Decon systems will not remove the same amount that claying does (this is visible contaminents such as rail dust. It may be more effective then at cleaning the "pores" of the paint, I have no idea.
-Decon DOES make claying much easier. Even with a soft and mild clay (Zaino Z18 for example), one or two swipes of the clay bar seems to remove everything. This means that on softer paints, incases where you do not want to risk the potenital for clay marring, the decon system has a strong merit. I used the FK1 system on a Lambo that his tracked regularly and had all types of contamination. After the decon, all the deposits wiped away with ease.
The way that I answered the question was wrong. Example-Soft paint with little marring, the decon system would work.
Paint that has a lot of contamination and has a lot of paint damage (that is going to require an aggressive go with a polisher), it would be more time effective to grab some really aggressive clay (and in such cases this would limit the benefit of the decon system).
I have not tried the ABC system. Have you, and if so what did you think?! Thanks.
