Just a story I thought I'd share 
yesterday I got a call ... the guy asked me for returns:hmmm: ..so I asked him what the problem was ... he said he had a problem with his clay and it was taking off his paint down to the metal
... I asked him first if he was using enough lubrication and he said yes. Assuming this must be an older vehicle as I've never seen clay remove color on a clearcoat before, I asked him what kind of car it was.. his answer.. Porshe ..a few years old 200?:hmmm: ... then I started to ask some more questions as my curiosity was getting the best of me...How much paint did you get? have you ever seen paint when polishing the car? I asked ... His answer...Oh it was just a few small spots and I just got the car and haven't polished it before ...:idea Well at this point the light bulb went off and then I asked where on the car he was seeing this ... answer.. the front bumper and hood of the car. Then i said did it look like tiny chips missing? ..answer ..oh yes it looked like bunches of tiny chips ... I told him that he had removed some touch-up paint the the previous own had poorly put on to hide the chips and that the clay was not really removing his paint ... that's when his light bulb must have gone off as he realized that he hadn't checked the car out carefully enough before purchasing.
result:inspector: .. I told him to clay and polish the rest of the car... then buy a good touch-up kit ... use a clear after the basecoat in the kit and then finish with his wax or sealant after the paint was dry.
He certainly caught me off guard at the beginning but he was more than happy at the end that his problem had been solved.
