    nothing catastrophic, just may be locking in any dirt or IFO under the wax.

        i've read on other forums that we should only clay bar the car once or twice a year. i live in CA but i'm not sure what kind of contaminants we most frequently get.
        Here's the answer, it' in our Hot Topics forum,

        How often do I need to clay my car's finish?

                *I* spray a trigger pull on the panel, then lightly wipe with one side of the towel, then flip it over for the final wipe. Dont have to push hand through the panel

                  I tend to dampen the towel and the surface.

                    is there a product, that can just wipe off the dust? i'm not talking about a spray or anything like that.
