... With polish or wax according to instructions with my Meguire's.
 
I've read about the Pinnacle polyclay. Based on these reviews, it should be a light duty clay. It would tackle the light lay jobs, and the reviewer said he had to use the 3M clay (I know it was a VW'er but can't remember who...wait I think it was PassatPunk) for the tougher jobs.



So...if you have a light clay job, use pinnacle. It got a good review, but if the job needs a more agressive/sticky clay, look for something else.
 
So how do you really tell if the MF towels you are using meet the minimum quality standards? Are the cheapies bought from Coscto where you get 36 towels for $9.99 AND it is assumed that buying MF towels from PAC that you get quality towels? I would love to buy them from PAC but just want to be assured that I'm getting a qualify MF towel and that they are better than Costco or elsewhere for the difference in money spent.
 
Best way to tell is the CD test. Take a blank CD and swipe the MF accross the CD a few times. If there are no scratches on the CD then the MF passes.

With MF it is generally true you get what you pay for. The MFs I've picked up at Costco or Sam's Club were generally lower quality that I would use under the hood or in door jambs but not on paint. That said, I have scored some MF over the counter for an attractive price that surprised me with their plushness... few and far between. The higher priced MF found online are generally going to be of a much higher quality than the bargain stuff found in stores, in my experience.

I suppose you discovered this while detailing your CD collection? So what's the verdict... sealant or nuba? Rotary or DA? :biggrin:

Nothing like a freshly polished CD:D
I like a nubba but done by hand. It's hard to hold that little disk in one hand and polish with the DA in the other.:cornut:

So Barry, once they never scratch, they never will? (i.e. if they didn't scratch before washing them, they won't scratch after washing them? Thx.

Not necessarily true. First, always, wash your MF's before you use them for the first time. You have to be careful how you wash them as well. Do not use fabric softeners, or dryer sheets.

A MF can always pick up some particles which could cause scratches. Just use caution, and use your head. A MF that touches anything besides the paint of your car, should never be used on the paint again. Make sure you keep them separated, and know which is which.

If you take care of them, they should last for a while.
