claymagic lube and #9

I got to thinking (uh oh :) ) about why I had so much difficulty with #9 a couple weeks ago on my car (01 Accord) and an Integra GSR. After claying a car using the claymagic bar and lube I used some #9 on some swirls. Taking the stuff off was much much harder than usual. I know I added some light scratches to my car as a result.



Do claymagic lube and #9 not mix? I used mother's clay with FI and #9 just fine before. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem. :nixweiss
 
oh, didn't know that. Does this mean I would have to wash off the claymagic lube before a polish or #9? Dang, I might just save myself the trouble and just stick with the Mother's kit. You can never have too much Mother's QD :D.

:xyxthumbs Great stuff that Showtime. I prefer the Mothers clay vs the ClayMagic. The ClayMagic sticks to everything, my hands mostly.
 
I'm not sure what the problem could have been. Clay Magic Body Shine is less than 2% alcohol. Like most QDs it's mostly water. Besides, after you're done claying any liquids would have evaporated off. Other than claying with CM, are you doing anything else different than the last time you used #9 (if anything)?
 
4DSC when i spoke with an automagic rep and he said it was something like 48% alcohol. Not saying your wrong, but i dont see why he would lie to me... i dunno. Very strange.



I like Megs Final Detail for my lube.



*gulp* I've smelled 49 and it doesnt smell like 48% alcohol and ive read the MSDS sheet and it says <2%. So im confused.
 
hmm. I'm washing my car and detailing another car today. I'll try out the following on a panel:

-mother's wash

-A) CM clay & lube

B) CM clay & FI

C) CM clay & showtime

-some #9



4DSC, on my previous use of #9 I used the mother's clay and FI on a SLK and bimmer.

Yeah the MSDS is what I'm going by, and the QDs I've used don't reek like they'd have a lot of alcohol or anything else. 48% sounds really high.... I think at that concentration it'd make Body Shine a good wax stripper. Wierd. :confused:



Good luck gnahc79, still not sure what the problem is... maybe #9 doesn't like Body Shine, but you'd think we would've heard of this happening before.
 
A 50/50 alcohol/water solution is what I use to clean polish residues. A QD like that would kill someones work! It'd strip any sealant/wax.



The guy who told you that didn't know what he was talking about.
