To Clay or Not To Clay?
Last weekend we had a block party in my neighborhood, gas grill was on my driveway, and garage door was open. I was grilling near my garage where my car is kept, and now I have oil droplets all over my car on the paint. I was thinking of ordering some Prima Car Care products before this happened. Now question is, should I clay the car before I detail it or will the Prima Car Care stuff do the job alone? TIA

I dunno if it will do it alone.. but if you're planning on doing a good job.. and have never clayed it.. I'd say clay it first.. then give it a good once over with the new stuff...

Clay it! My rear bumper gets the worst of the fall-out. I try not to clay too often as it does take a fine layer off the clearcoat over the years. Follow the instructions from any reputable clay bar and you will not be disappointed.

Clay it!
I just did mine friday for the first time, I was amazed at the difference. I followed with a coat of NXT 2.0, and the paint is as smooth as glass, but slicker.
