[scarface]

should be, mine stays in the garage year round and it works fine.

 

[realitygt]

WTF you can't use it more than once I used it on mine and it scratched THE FUCK out of the paint everywhere I used it and I didn't notice it til after I washed off the places where I used it. Now I have scratches all over my hood and fenders!! It's 6 month old paint and then I go and do this shit, FUCK!.. I tried some polish over it but It doesn't really do shit. I guess I'll have to try and get my friend to buff it with his orbital.

 

[realitygt]

omg my paint is fucked up.. I really don't understand How I can polish my car like 6 times in 2 days and still have swirl marks... I really just don't get it.

im just gonna go ahead and say that your car is black for one...and you sound like you dont really know what your doing man.

You can use clay bars a lot.

you need to flip the clay until its clear on top and theres no dirt or anything on it.

If your drop it on the ground and get little rocks in it you dont want to use it.

You obviously had something on the clay bar that was scratching your paint everywhere.


Why dont you get a light compound and buff the entire car, then polish, then wax it and see if thay helps.

WTF you can't use it more than once I used it on mine and it scratched THE f**k out of the paint everywhere I used it and I didn't notice it til after I washed off the places where I used it. Now I have scratches all over my hood and fenders!! It's 6 month old paint and then I go and do this shit, f**k!.. I tried some polish over it but It doesn't really do shit.

you arent supposed to get debris in it.

 

[Mr. OAM]

In the instructions it tells you how to knead the clay and fold it and knead again to get a new clay surface to use. When you can't make a clean surface anymore you are done.

Why are you using claybar on a 6 month old surface? It is for getting out grit that has embedded into the paint over time. In the 5 years we've had my wife's 66 with clearcoat it has never been dirty long enough for anything to get embedded in it. Claybar is for removing nasties embedded in a neglected paint job. It's not a regular use item. THink of it as "paint finish reconditioning". A 6 month old paint job should be like new.

because I got a thousand white paint freckles all over the front of my car because my stepdad shook a towel with wet paint on it right in front of it.

I know how to use a clay bar right and i know when it's dirty, I guess there must've been something in it that I couldn't see because I looked it over really good and I folded it over it self a bunch of times and made sure there wasn't anything in it.

Directly after I polish it it kind of goes away and like today I can't even see but one scratch but as soon as I wash my car they will all show up, including the part where the bodyshop buffed it too long and now it's really dull in 2 places with a million scratches.
