I’m asking advice here because someone on the Belgium Meguiars forum posted a question today about an issue I’ve had myself for a few times now.
We both have been detailing for some time now, and after I’ve taken part of a Meguiars Detail Day, I know we’re working the clay like it should.
Here’s what I do: I take a clean clay, spray QD on it, spray QD on the surface I’m going to work at (30 cm² (1 foot square)) and start “sliding” the clay over the finish.
Like it’s supposed to do, I feel the clay “sticking” to the finish whenever it picks up above bonded surface contaminants. Sometimes however, the clay really “sticks” (even after a new application of QD on the surface and clay) and whenever I look at the finish, there’s a spot (where the clay got stuck) and it looks different. It’s not shiny like it’s supposed to be. (even had a discoloration at some point)
Now the guy that asked about it, spent about an hour with scratchX to get the spot out and get it shiny again. I needed a few passes with #83 to get it out.
It’s the first time I’m having problems with the clay. Never had this problem before so could it be a “fault” in a certain range of productions? Or are we doing something wrong?
