Hi, Tiger...
Thank you for the info.. I appreciate it, really...
Here goes: It was my car we tested it on... 98 ML320, good finish, now oversprayed...
I stopped at PepBoys yesterday, got Mother's Gold... the guy there was very familiar with it and confirmed what you said.. here is what he thinks happened.. the detail guy who looked at my car and is going to use it, sprayed the clay not the car.. pepguy things what I am seeing is due to a dry clay bar... he needs to keep the car lubricated... as you mentioned... the bar this guy used is blue, btw... mothers is gold... if that matters...
Anyway, that might be the issue.. he's not keeping the car surface lubricated enough.... which is why I posted....and then pinged!
