What to do with clay

Is it true clay can be used on plastics and glass?

Sure.

Just dont use it on wheels, then back on paint/glass after.

Even on plastic trims, wiper cowls? Hmm, got to try. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, wont hurt. Wont grab as much from textured plastic, but wont hurt it.

Rubber can turn the clay black, but wont hurt anything either.

Thanks for all the info. Missed palm sized clay meant use the palm. I was using my fingers before. Remainder of hood took 1 hour. Spent another 45 minutes quik waxing and cleaning the grill. Then it rains.... uugghh... The quik wax beads pretty well and i had a dry truck by the time I got to work cant wait to see what ultimate can do.

I tend to use fairly small pieces, and usually use under my fingers...

I think the more 'claying' is needed, then a bigger piece helps.

My stains were pretty stubborn and flattening my 1/4 bar piece to palm size worked better than fingers did yesterday. Kneaded when sticky. still have 1 1/2 bars left out of my initial kit and I guess a little more than half the truck to go. Finished off the first bottle of quik detailer too.

Well, wont hurt to use too much lube, even if it costs an extra couple bucks.

I kept having to clean the truck off before I started since I was taking it to work in between. Amazing the **** you can pick up in just one day
