fall out, you know, that brownish yellowish spots on the paint? i was told that that is the process before rust?!?!?!?!?! is it cuz i hardly wax my car? anyways, i have a friend that details cars and said that it can be taken off with a clay bar. but answer this, how much of the paint will the clay bar take off? mahalos

 

Clay bar isn't supposed to take off any paint if you do it correctly

 

really? a detailer told me that it takes away a small amount of paint.

 

oh ya, thats right, clear coat.. my bad... mahalo

 

Here's an excellent article regarding the use of clay that may help:

wow, thanks man

 

fallout is most evident on white cars-
the rolling technique is good- i flatten mine over and twist it and fold again.
over the counter stuff is okay(mequiars, mothers) but ACS has some good clay/lube. NAPA also sells the huge bar of clay(20 bucks or so)

usually i wash my car really good 1st, rinse, then spray the lubricant directly over the wet surface.

*be sure to remove fallout often. if not it will leave "pits" in your paint. not much of an issue with white cars- but in darker colors it can show wax stuck inside the pits.

when you clay your hood try doing half- then rinsing the hood. compare the 2 sides. you will see an awesome difference!
