So, I`m driving home from work two nights ago across I-134. I notice, out of the corner of my eye, a rubber traffic cone bouncing across the highway. Before I knew what happened, the darn thing hit my car square in the front fender, and then dragged itself across the passenger side of the car. When I got home, I had a long black line of rubber on the side panel. I washed and washed, but could not get it off. Finally, I got out my detailing clay, and used that. It did an amazing job of getting rid of the rubber residue. And, the only damage I could find was a chip in the hard plastic fender near the car.



Anyway, moral to the story, is that detailing clay is a useful tool to have for many purposes. I initially bought it to get rid of rail dust before using the Klasse Twins on my new car. But, it is really quite helpful for these sorts of emergency situations.



I`m posting this in the "Autopia University" forum, because it is another example of an important lesson I`ve learned here. Some of the same tools that help you properly prepare you car for products like Klasse can come in handy for more generally cleaning purposes.

You can use the clay to check the deck height when building a motor and you can also use it to draw heat away from an area while welding.



Neat stuff!
