Do I Need to Clay??

[BOBBYBOB]

I just bought a 98 Audi A4 and the paint seems to be in

good shape to the naked eye, but way down deep in

the finish I just don`t know. To clay or not to clay??

Run your hand over the paint when it’s good and soapy next time you wash it. If you feel lil bumps that’s a pretty good indication the car would benfit from claying.

Hey whats up? how`s it going?



Clay won`t hurt anyways. Put your hand in a baggie(sandwich bag) and run your fingers over your paint. If you feel little bumps and stuff you know you need to clay.



*Hint*



When you buy a Clay bar sometimes it comes with a quick detailer for lubrication. Don`t use it just use water with a little car soap in a spary bottle. Does the same thing and you can use the QD for what it`d meant for..

Yes. I would, becasue it can`t hurt.



Even a BRAND new car (much less a 4 year old one) can accumulate quite a bit of contaminats durring shipping and throughout its life.



So, if you want the best results I would go ahead and clay.



Have fun, and congradulations on the new purchase! :xyxthumbs
