But mention no was job read is never.

Still beats hooking.

It's a soft sell ....... he didn't want to insult our intelligence ..... :)

Personally, I prefer Dove soap for stripping off wax ..... so, he didn't sell ME anything ...... :D

He is making fun of my typos.

Oh, I thought maybe you two have spent so much time together, you started talking alike .....:D

Still better than your hillbilly shit.

Hey, I learnt to talk mainly from my older girl cousin from West Virginia ...... so, maybe I didn't pay too good of attention sometimes ..... :iono:

This thread's about clay bars, not your little sausage parties.

Trying in vain to bring this back on track, there are car wash shampoos like a citrus-based wash that are great for taking off the old layer of wax making it ready for the clay/new layer of wax. That's the step that's not mentioned here.

Any brands in particular that you like? Are they really better than regular old Dawn?

Ya, ol @Ultramaroon started it .......he is pretty good at derailing threads ....... :D

I think ol @Tcoat mentioned stripping the old wax off before claying.

Why go to the expense of a store bought car wash shampoo, when you can just grab any old dishwashing soap from underneath the kitchen sink and do the same job .... ??

But, thanks for getting the train back on the track .......:)

Plugging a particular brand is always the quickest way to start a flame war but I'm still using a bottle of stuff that has been reformulated and isn't for sale any more, so I guess it's fine. It's an older version of the Chemical Guys Citrus Wash, which has a day-glo neon orange color to it which is awesome. I think the newer formulation also works as well, but IIRC they also now sell a product specifically for taking off old coats of protectant for new applications.

using clay alone has been fine for taking off old layers of wax, at least in my experience. have never seen any car wash shampoos specially formulated for that, will look for it next time.

i also would never clay my car unless i had a polisher as well. way too easy to mar your finish with clay.
