Well with the temperatures dropping down around 80-85 here in MS and low humidity, I was thinking of claying my truck this weekend.

My question is this.

Would it be alright to wash and dry the truck off tonight and then get up early in the morning and then clay, polish and wax it?

Or do I need to suck it up and just do it all tomorrow?

Thanks.

 

As long as it's inside a garage and never use it after you wash to minimize foreign (hope spelling is right) tiny object that cause swirl. Otherwise, use a lot of clay lubricant during claying.

 

You will be fine. Just make sure you use a good clay lubricant.

 

Thanks guys.

I will be using Clay Magic that already comes with a lubricant and clay bar in the package.

I think RP recommended this brand over Meguiar's, so I ordered some.

 

I would hit the area you are going to clay with a QD and wipe prior to starting the claying, just to be safe ..

 

Ehh... IMO, they're all about the same. Not too long ago, someone pointed out that ONE company owns the patent on automotive clay... that being said, they're all very similar...

 

The temps are getting nice here in MS...

 

I will be claying tomorrow as well.....That makes two in MS

 

I've used both Meq and Mothers....both worked equally well....

 

Got my claying done and just finished taping the truck. Getting ready to run the PC with the step 1 paint cleaner here in AL

 

Ok guys I am done claying and detailing....

Mississippi boys show your stuff.

I've been practicing on a cadillac before I touch my Ford ....... no pics yet

 

Good. wouldn't want to make any bad moves on anything wearing a blue oval. lol
