quick question just to clear up some confusion I have.

will ultra fine clay remove fewer contaminants or more contaminants than ultra aggressive?

I used to use the standard clay that came in the Meguiars kit but recentlly picked up some aggressive heavy clay (thinking it would take off more crap on my car) but it seems to do nothing at all. Is aggressive only for deep large surface bonded contaminants? cuz it didnt seem to catch on anything really when I clay'd the car? just glides across easily.

Should I have gotten ultra fine? would that have stuck to more contaminants on the surface?

think I mixed up the two.

If someone could clear this up I'd appreciate it.

 

bump...

anyone?

Aggressive claybars are generally used for heavy-duty work, such as overspray, tree sap, dried concrete anything that a normal claybar would not remove. Remember that claybars are an abrasive, and while a normal one is pretty safe to use, the aggressive one is more abrasive and can mar the crap out of your car.

Basically, you should never need an aggressive claybar unless you are a detailer, hence why almost all of the OTC claybars are mild. A normal claybar will be enough to remove your normal bonded contaminants, even if it doesn't on the first pass it should only take a couple more. Should you ever need to use an aggressive claybar, make sure you polish out any scratches or marring it would have created before waxing/sealing.

Hope that cleared it up

 

Thanks for clearing that up darkstar. I appreciate the input.
