Justin,

I'm sorry to hear that. I know we talked about it and that I recommended it to you. I hope you don't feel I led you astray - I feel bad that you had such a poor experience with it.

For grins I just went out and unwrapped my last bar of E1 clay and clayed 1/2 my roof (the 1/2 I can reach in my one-car garage). My car is a little dirty from the rain today so I used a terry towel and a little E1 Wet QD to clean the roof first.

I laid on an even coat of E1 Wet Wipe & Shine (my QD of choice) and used the bar straight out of the wrapper - no kneading, no breaking off a little piece, the whole bar at once. I got absolutely no streaks or smears. Nothing. I wiped off the QD with a green Neatitems and my roof is silky smooth. I used very light pressure and a rather rapid back-and-forth motion. I even clayed in a circular motion to see what would happen. It made no difference.

When I clay my entire car with E1 I do get a little smearing and smudging but that's probably because I didn't use enough QD on those particular spots. The smudges don't bother me - a little QD or PPCL is all it takes to remove them. No harm done.

I don't know what to say except I'm sorry it's not working for you as it does for me.
