Claying with a machine

I used a pad similar to that one, within five seconds I came to the conclusion that it was a really bad idea.

Depends what you're using it for. Claying a new car -NO! Removing heavy contaminants - YES!

I had previously been utterly dismissive of machine claying, but that thread of yours about the vehicle covered with overspray got me to reconsider :think:



And years ago there was a member here with a white Toyota truck (forget his user-name, IIRC he was in the Phillipines) who used and liked this approach.



Unless I get some awful contamination job to deal with I'll keep doing it by hand, but I'm being a little more open-minded about this stuff.

seems like it would be harder to get it properly lubricated

As long as the outer rings of the pad are soaked and the actual surface is wet there isn't a problem with lubricity. I'd use a quality, dedicated clay lube instead of plain water.

Yes, this product should be reserved for heavy jobs. It *can* create alot of marring.

Unless there's a super sale, I think it speaks for itself.

Right, I usually like to actually use a product or go by what reputable sources say before I pass judgement on a product/process most of the time.
