I clayed my '95 black BMW; first time I used clay.
Actually I only did half the hood, and left the other half as is for comparision. Sorry - no pics, but it wouldn't show anything anyway - that's the point of this post. Does clay Really have a VISUAL effect?
It was right after washing it. Used the detailing spray with it as many suggest, etc. Decent paint for a 1995 car, BTW. The two sides look identical after claying. Six people gave me their opinion; all six said both sides wewe the same except one - she said it was the same Except if you stuck your face down on the paint you could see the absence of some microscopic dots.
OK. The surface was smoother - a LOT smoother. In fact it was Very impressive to the touch. However, I'd never notice it unless I were to jump up on the hood naked - and since I'm not planning on doing that, unless the right person joins me - what's the point?
I understand that clay "removes dirt bonded to the surface" and all that, and that a Smoother surface CAN reflect light better, but does claying Really usually make the finish look NOTABLY better (or even a LITTLE better) for anyone here?
