Paint damaged by bug splatters

[onzarob]

Clay uses a qick detailer for lubricant and is like blue tack...you slowly drag it over the paint and it collects the dirt. I suggest you read allot about it before trying it...but the results are very good..just be carefull

Tried Bilt Hamber Clay and splatter mark is still there - its has etched into the clear coat. Will go gently with the Dual Action Polisher and some Menz ploish to see if I can shift it.

bugger, mine was etched in too but the bilt hamber got it out....did it reduce it at all?

I have this and am planning on using my clay bar later in the week using the zymol lube for lehm clay that I have. I'll give it a wash first to get the residue off then use the lube and a small piece of clay following the direction the paint was applied using a 'light pressure until the surface is smooth and silent'. That's the funniest description I've read on any car product for a while but that's what it says.

funny but true, when the clay is sucking out the contaminants you can hear it - once all out it will be silent!

remember lots of lube, dont let the clay/panel dry out, if you drop it BIN IT and remember to remould the clay regularly. Once you have done it, keep that clay for the alloys ONLY.

also, keep a cup of warm water handy when claying, you can use it to soften the clay making remoulding it much easier.
