If it doesn't pull off wax, it wont get anything else really.

Best practice is to strip the wax with whatever products you choose, or dawn.
Not true. I've got a mild Sonus clay that I use because the last Clay Magic I tried marred my paint. It works well at removing stuff except it doesn't get quite all of the tough stuff like sap. I think it does compromise the slickness of the wax, but I don't feel that it removes it.

Good point, I agree, but slightly disagree. I usually go by feel, rather than looks. You can feel the bumps and imperfections of the "gunk" much better than you can "see" it.
Yes, when I typed 'looks' I should or could have used 'is'.

And I agree you can 'feel' see better than you can 'sight' see....if that makes sense? :ack:

Yes it makes since. Time for me to clay my car. thanks guys.
Live life and drive....Fast..lol
