CG clay question

[topspin2006]

Just received my clay bar and lube from Chemical Guys. The bar is listed as 4 oz (113g). They say you can do about 10 cars with it (although they give you enough spray for 4 cars). I read somewhere that it`s good to cut the clay bar in a few sections so that you use each section per car. Also, using smaller portions is safer since, in case you drop it, you won`t ruin the whole bar. So just curious as to if I should cut it into 2 or 3 sections. Any other tips/suggestions for a newbie to claying?

I`d just cut it in 2, 3 may be to small..

I usually cut the 200gm. Clay Magic bar in 1/2(100gm.). I think claying with a 60gm. piece is kinda small. Maybe I have big hands?

Yeah,you don`t wan`t to small a piece,just cut the bar into what `you` think are `comfortable` sized pieces,and to small a piece will lengthen the claying time because you are covering to small an area at a time.

Thanks for the info. I`ll just cut in 2 pieces and use one piece for each car. Do you also clay the glass everytime or only with an older piece of clay that you`re about to throw out?

[slippy]

Yes, clay the glass,the chances are it would probably need it,but `i` wouldn`t ever use an older piece of clay for anything,if you think the piece is done,throw it out don`t keep it.I would be as careful with the glass as i would be with the paint.

Well...glass is harder to scratch than paint, but it will scratch.
