Pic - before and after claying

[MattZ28]

Top half is clayed, bottom half isn`t. I went over many of the spots again on the top (there`s a few spots left in the pic, just wanted to show the comparo). This was done on a brand new 2 day old 2005 Ford Excursion.

Jesus...White can be a PITA.



Hopefully this won`t become a common thing

Great pic, nice job. Claying really makes a differance!

[Intercooled]

Excellent example of before and after the clay process!

I can sympathise man. I have a white Navigator, and it`s NO fun to clay. But, lucky you really only have to do it once if you keep up on washing, waxing and stuff.

Ford has a real problem with that. I recommend all my customers with Fords insist on an ABC wash the instant the car shows up at the dealer. I believe Ford even has a TSB concerning rail dust and ABC washes.

Does this mean the dealer will do it for no charge?

They should. I have a customer with a brand new Mazda6 that had rail dust on it and I told her before I clay it, she should have her dealer do an ABC wash, which they did at no charge.

Hmm....I`ll mention it to my dad tomorrow and have him contact the dealer. Thanks Scott.

We should save this as a sticky...when someone asks why they should clay Matt`s pics should be the answer.

[sQuashed]

What is an ABC wash if I may ask?

Matt,



Those pics are an excellent demo of the value of claying. Thanks for the thread.
