Rail Dust on a year old truck

Rail Dust on a year old truck
Yep. I use heavy rail to commute and I'm really starting to notice rail dust. It must get itself airborne and blow across the parking lot.
SO rail dust isn't an exclusive for new trucks, let me tell you!
Thanks to RP, Boss and the rest of the guys here for prepping me for my first claying experience (this coming long weekend)

Several brands sell just the bar and a QD spray for lubricant...
Overspray Clay - Mild
Quik Detailer
You should be able to find the Quik Detailer at your local 'mart' store. The clay, however, might be a tad more difficult to come by short of ordering it online or finding a paint and bodyshop supply house in your area.

This is not a mistake you will make twice.

Anyway, the Mother's clay bar is readily found in Southern Ontario. I'm sure I could the Meguire's if I looked hard enough.
A nice 4 day weekend so I can take my time.
Sure pays to lurk in this forum and soak in all the information.

sorry to ressurect this old thread, but alternate clay sources have been rolling around in my mind. how is this clay any different from modeler's clay? it seems to have about the same consistency as the stuff at hobby town, and that is like $4/lb. sure beats the heck of $25/8 oz. i may go buy some and try it on a very small portion of my paint...or better yet, the wife's car!
anybody else thought about this?

Try ClayMagic at Autozone.
Works great.

It's been thought of...although the folks that I recally mentioning it never chimed back in with their end results. Not sure if that's because they ruined their paint and had to hire a professional to get it back to 'half-way' normal or what... who knows?
But, for piece of mind knowing that I'm know going to mar the heck out of my finish with a product that wasn't meant for use as a detailing clay, I think I'd spend the $10 for Clay Magic, Mothers Clay System or Meguiar's Quik Clay.

If they are both roughtly the same grit size it shouldn't be a problem.
Maybe test it on a junker car first.
