Claying with Water OK?

[Boba]

Hey guys, so my Meguiar's Last Touch is coming to an end and i've re-filled up the bottle with water. I was wondering if it's ok to claybar my car with water instead of quick detailer after i've washed my car.

It's much better to add some car soap to the water to increase the lubricity of the solution.

I would stick with the Quick Detailer. Water on its own has almost no lubrication and you would probably mar up your paint. Quick Detailer (maroon bottle) is pretty cheap 4-5 bucks

It should be ok to mix the last drops of my Last Touch with car soap right?

If car soap option is no go, i will definitely get QD than simply using water.

I doubt that QD and Soap would catch fire or anything....

The only thing with soap is that it may break down the clay faster. So if you plan to store the clay for a while till the next time, it may be falling apart when you go to use it. Doesnt always happen, but has to some people. So at least use just use a small piece at a time.

No, you need lubracation. Add a few drops of soap to water.
