| Well, I am far from an expert, but I clayed my car for the first time last week and it was real easy. I bought the Mother's brand from Wal-mart for $13.87 and it came with a bottle of QD and a small bottle of carnuaba wax. I did exactly as instructions told me: spray on QD, and rub clay in back and forth motion, I applied only enough pressure as so bar would not slip out of my hand. (Box says if you drop bar on the ground, just throw it away!) Needless to say, I was careful not to drop it. After claying one section, I wiped dry with soft cotton cloth, then wiped again with MF towel.
I did sections at a time, fender, one door, next door, quarter hood, etc...it really was easy, just time consuming. Being that your car is a 2001 ike mine is, you probably won't hear or feel the difference while claying, but if you do the finger in plastic trick before and after, you will tell the difference. Oh, forgot, after each section, I kneaded the clay like bread dough in my hand and merrily went on to next section. Directions say to do that. One bar is supposed to last 3 cars worth. Geat stuff at a great price!
Hope this helps. I used up maybe half the bottle of QD on the wole car, i was probably too generous, but it said NOT to use water. Good luck. |
