This towel looks like, as others have said, the Rag Company towel, which was derived from Optimum's Ultra Clay Towel. If similar to those, I absolutely agree with you. Such a great towel. Foaming is good. I also like spraying iron remover (Ferrex) into it directly. Saves me a ton of product that way vs spraying the paint.

Additionally, your style of presenting and your calm voice are like a chill therapy for me. Thanks for creating this content. I’m not a detailer, i just enjoy taking care of my car.

Or is this best to go to someone who does it professionally? Thanks!
@CarCraftAutoDetailing Жыл бұрын
I appreciate that and it’s my pleasure mate. Periodic claying is vital to remove contamination that would otherwise degrade car paint, it also has the advantage of allowing car waxes and sealant to bond more successfully and last longer to protect your car paint better. In most cases clay marring is quite minimal if done correctly and no more visible than light washing swirls or haze. I would say try it yourself, worst case scenario is that it does cause some minor marring that a very fine polishing stage will easily remove - any pro detailer with even minimal polishing experience can address that easily.

Thanks, and claying can cause some micro marring especially if you have a soft paint which is why a light polish is recommended afterwards but also not mandatory. If I couldn’t polish I’d still tend to clay because it is very beneficial to the paints health to remove that contamination which degrades car paint over time. If you don’t have a machine polisher, try using something like Autoglym Super Resin Polish by hand, it’s very easy to use and should clean up any clay marring and improve the look of the paint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zma7fIOjmbGJq5I

Few questions: How big of a section do you clay with that towel at a time? And would it be better to rinse each section off as you go like in the video, or can you save the rinse for after you've gone over the entire car? I have hard well water, so it's typically a race against time between rinsing and drying my car off so I'd most likely have to dry each section a bit as well if the clay lube can't sit on the car. Also, do you do anything special with the towel other than rinsing it off between panels?
@CarCraftAutoDetailing3 жыл бұрын
The less contamination on the vehicle the larger sections you can clay, but if its quite heavily contaminated I’d stick to a square or half meter square at a time. You should rinse before your clay lube or chemical starts to dry on the paint, so that will depend on your lube and weather conditions, and yes I just rinse the towel off - mist of the particles will actually be suspended on the car panel as they don’t stick to synthetic clay as much as they do to traditional clay

That looks like an awesome clay cloth. Personally, I've used The Rag Company's Ultra Clay Towel and a couple of cars with the Mitt. The towel induced a LOT of damage on the paint. In one instance, I had to Compound 2 times to remove the deep scratches. It got me really frustrated of course. The mitt seemed to work awesome, but on the last car I used it on, it may have caused scratches again. Will test it out when I get the chance. Anyway, I've ordered these Aero Clay Cloths from the US (I'm in EU). If these don't work either, I'm most likely at fault. What is your experience with the Ultra clay towel and mitt? They look similar, but like you said, they could be worlds apart.

I hope it works out better for you but I haven’t used the Ultra Clay towel so I can’t say.

Rik Heijne - If you are getting a lot of damage, you are not using enough liquid whatever, and possibly rubbing the media too hard into the paint... You want to only use Straight, back and forth or up and down strokes on that panel, nothing else if possible... And you have to keep the force - Evenly - applied across that work, and at the same time, keep it all really wet... Read my first post at the top for more info about how I keep my work wet and never have any marring, etc., problems... Good luck with this !
