steve........thx buddy i rememeber u liked the distilled water but i wasnt sure why.........makes sense...:up
 
Hi FLONI -- one brief note: "purified" water is not the same thing as "distilled" water. Make sure to use distilled, only. What's great is that it is 100% pure water. No minerals. So, when it evaporates, it leaves nothing. That's why we like it. I have a small spray bottle in my counsul and a big spray bottle in my trunk. I have distilled water and car shampoo in a spray bottle, too. If I get a bird bomb, I soap with a little shampoo, let soak, then wipe. I then RINSE with sprays of distilled water. This routine if for when I am not at home.
 
:) .i like the bird dooty treatment......:up .hopefully...if it doesnt rain too much tomorrow(i mean later today...:D )...and..no SNOW on Sunday.then i can get some stuff in.......thx guys......
 
Hello,

I am looking for suggestions on a holder for detailing clay. Problem I have with clay is that it gets so slippery it comes out of my hand and lands on the asphalt ruining it, thats any easy $15 down the tubes.

Saw some of the neat looking clay holders last season but never tried one, I read that they have mixed reviews.

I'm thinking a good holder will help me hang on to the clay so it won't slip out of my hand, especially on vertical body panels.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
You might want to have a small portion of the clay protrude into your fingers. The holders are useless from what I've heard as one really needs to 'feel' the clay working.
 
I would not use a holder, you need to always be kneading clay in your hands anyway so if you got butter fingers its gonna bite you in the ass eventually :o
 
Maybe you could lay a towel down under your work area. That way if you drop it you can do a quick inspection and likely there isn't anything it picked up that will do any damage.
 
Your post makes it sound like you are using an entire clay bar at once - no need for that! Most clay bars on the market can be cut into thirds - use only a third of the bar at a time. When the innevitable happens and you drop it, it's not such a shock to the wallet. It is also easier to handle the smaller piece...give it a try.

I place the new bar on a plastic food bag and cut into three pieces using an old credit card (works well).

Regards,

Excellent suggestions, I will try the textured rubber gloves with a smaller piece of clay bar.

I highly agree that you need to feel the clay working, so the holder thingy is out.

Thanks very much for the helpful Feedback and advice... :rockon:
 
I find their only good for if you got a big job ( dealer lot = many many cars with over spray to clay ), but for your own rides forget it and just be careful of not dropping it on the ground. Don't feel bad it happen to me over a year ago on a Lexus and I drop 4 bars on the ground ( sad day :doh: )
