Lets just talk about Aggressive Detailing Clay

[BJClarke001]

Without going into a long winded story here( I do do that sometimes ) let me just jump in.

I detaileled my neighbors 2000 Expidition yesterday and used the (consumer) standard, off the auto store shelf, Clay. I have used this "Consumer Level" without any issues up until now and therefore, turn to the people I count on for all my Megs detailing needs.

I clayed and it took out most of the contaminents, there was still some left behind that I could feel. I messaged (kneeded) the clay and it was new, so I feel that obviously, the contaminents were far greater embedded then the "level" of the clay I was using. And, I re-worked the area several times also.

So this is what I ask:

1) I assume under this situation; this calls for the job of Aggressive Detailing Clay?

2) What is done differently when using Aggressive Detailing Clay opposed to the Consumer Grade?

3) I take it the Professional Grade is not idiot proof as the Consumer Grade?

Thanks All.

Use it just like regular clay. Just make sure you're using a QD as lube on this stuff. The agressive stuff will most likely swirl/haze the paint a bit so you will need to polish afterwards. Other than that there's not much difference.

The aggressive clay bar is marketed towards professionals which in most cases are going to machine buff the paint after claying, for this reason any marring that the aggressive clay instills into the finish is not an issue because it is going to be removed along with all the rest of the below surface defects during the machine cleaning step.
