Both times that I have tried claying my Acura NBP TL type-S, I have had no luck at all. At first I thought it was the Meguiar`s clay bar kit but now I`m not so sure. I replaced the Meguiar`s kit with a Uber blue fine grade clay bar and ONR diluted to clay lube lubricity per the directions on the bottle.
Today, in about 60 degree farenheit weather, I washed my car with Dawn dish soap via two bucket method and dried with waffle weave micro fiber drying towel. After the car was completely dry, I attempted to clay the car with the Uber blue clay bar and ONR clay lube. No luck. The clay bar just slides across the paint and doesn`t pick up any contaminants. I made sure the dilution ratio was correct and that my car was in fact contaminated by doing the sandwich baggy method. I can hear tons of noise and feel all kinds of stuff in the paint.
The best way to describe my problem is that the clay doesn`t have any friction whatsoever against the paint. It`s not dirty after I clay. It slides similar to the way a wet bar of soap would slide against the bottom of a bath tub.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible that I have received two defective clay bars?
