    ts|s Detailing: 1964 Lincoln Continental

    1964 Lincoln Continental with original paint. It was very thin in many areas, so thin I could see primer showing through.

    I bought a gray (fine) clay bar from Poor boys some months back, then what looked to be the exact same claybar from a KOI Auto here in Cincy. Both of them are marring paint lately-like a medium clay would. I use ONR as lube and I haven't changed anything as far as technique or chemical ratio, so...
