Got a kit of 100gm claymagic and 12oz bottle of clay magic lube the other week.. well i clayed the S but I had to pretty much use the entire bottle on the car.. I have to clay my other car this week and was wondering if it would be okay to use some Mother's clay lube with the clay magic bar. I heard that clay is all the same so I would assume that you could use any kind of clay lube. whether clay magic or mothers. thanks guys -david

 

This is correct.

 

david- not only can you use any clay lube, you can also use your car shampoo... or any quick detail spray

 

Sounds good. Thats $10 saved. When I washed the car last week, I didnt dry the car immediately but used the water on the car as extra lube.. Worked very well. i think i might buy a clay magic 200gm bar today so i can cut it up.. I came pretty close to dropping the clay last week.

 

When you're washing your car, put the clay in a ziplock bag, then place into your pocket. By the time you're ready to clay your car, the clay will be eaven softer. Much easier to work with and IMO does a better job.

 

I was at California Car Cover Co. main store today in Chatsworth, CA and the guy told me someone from a care care company gave a demonstration on how to "warm up" the clay. He told me to stretch it out for a few minutes. Makes the clay well prepped for use.

I clayed my car today and I feel that it really makes the car look good when you are done.

The only advice I can give would be is to make sure that its not too hot outside cause the clay will smear all over the paint and it'll be a pain in the butt to get off.

 

You can also fill your empty spray bottle with water and a squirt of dishsoap (preferably Dawn). It'll also help stripping any wax you've got left on the car.

 

Remember if you use dawn it will affect rubber trim etc. over time. Using clay already takes wax off.
