Evaluating Your Paint Surface
-----------------------------
Before using Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit on your vehicle,
it is recommended that you begin by washing and drying your car
thoroughly, as it will allow you to evaluate the surface of your
vehicle for the presence of various defects needing correction.
Defects fall into two basic categories;
* Above Surface Bonded Contaminants: These include industrial
fall out, paint overspray, tree sap mist, bird droppings, etc.
* Below Surface Defects: These include fine scratches, swirl
marks, etching, oxidation, etc.
Above Surface Bonded Contaminants often cannot be seen but they
can be felt. Run your clean hand over the paint of your vehicle
immediately after washing and drying it. Does the paint feel "as
smooth as glass"? If not and your paint surface is rough to the
touch, this is an indication that you will need to clay your car
using Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay Kit.
The roughness you feel is the presence of environmental
contaminants such as over-spray, fallout, brake dust, tree sap,
etc., that have bonded to your paint finish. No a of wax car
waxing will remove these contaminants.
Applying car wax on top of bonded contaminants takes effort and
inhibits the adhesion of your wax. Further, these contaminants
reduce your paint’s reflectivity, preventing your vehicle to
shine to its full potential.
Below Surface Defects generally cannot be felt, but they can be
seen, especially in strong, direct light. Good lighting is
critical to evaluating the surface of your paint, because most
cars will look good in the shade; therefore we recommend that you
inspect your car's finish in direct sunlight or under strong
fluorescent lights.

Claying
-------
Claying is often thought of as a difficult detailing process
that should only be performed by trained professionals; but on
the contrary is a very simple process that usually can be done
fairly quickly.
With the proper use of the claying bar and Meguiar’s Quik
Detailer (included in the Smooth Surface Clay Kit), the clay will
quickly, but gently remove bonded contaminants on your vehicle’s
painted surfaces. This will leave behind a surface that is
completely contaminant free and will be evident by your ability
to smoothly glide your hand against your vehicle’s paint.
A Few Tips About Claying
------------------------
To make the claying process easier, you don't need to apply much
pressure, just enough to control the clay. It is important to
keep the area well lubricated while claying and once the area
feels completely smooth to the touch, wipe it dry and move on to
the next section. Continuing this process, section by section,
will allow you to clay your vehicle in a uniform manner.
Keep the following points in mind when using Meguiar's Smooth
Surface Clay Kit;
* Claying removes “bonded contaminants” on your paint’s surface;
and not “below surface” defects like swirls, scratches or
etchings.
* You can clay any painted, glass or chrome surfaces.
* Claying will enable clear reflections and allow car wax to
adhere to the paint better and last longer.
* Split one 80g. clay bar into two separate pieces. That way if
you drop it, you still have one good piece of clay.
* Knead your clay bar into a flat, round wafer in order to use
it.
* Use a mist and wipe product like Quik Detailer as a lubricant.
Important: If you drop your piece of clay on the floor, replace
it with a new one.
