Just reading this thread and agree with eveything said except one thing. Clay will NOT remove your clearcoat not matter how many times you use it. I work with it on a daily basis and have worked with mutiple brands and spoke with numerous company reps and never have heard of such a thing. The clay simply lifts contaminants (sorry about spelling) of the surface of the paint . Don't mean to sound snippy but just thought the truth needs to be stated
