Yesterday I decided to give the blue car a wash and another coat of SG. I noticed the last time I washed, the horizontal areas felt rough (due to my shoddy claying job the month before, lol). So after I finished washing the car yesterday I decided to give the problem areas a clay. This time I was forced to experiment since I had no QD on hand. I grabbed a piece of clay after the car was washed but before it was dried, and I used the existing water on the surface as my lube. Wow, did it ever work well. The clay glided across the surface beautifully. Once I finished with the clay, I then dried the remaining water off. I was very happy. The panels were smooth as glass.
I really like this new method. I can save a whole lot of time during my details. I used to wash, dry, and then clay with lube. That process took me a helluva lot of time. Drying the QD lube off of each section was time consuming.
I just wanted to throw this out there for those of you who want to try something new/save some time during your details.
I actually read the water as lube trick here in a the thread. Someone mentioned that it worked well, which prompted me to try it. So to whoever you are (sorry, I don`t remember who), Thank you for the tip.
Bill. :up
