claying and polishing
Is claying nessecary if you are going to polish? I saw on another thread that somebody said "if you haven't ever clayed, it would be a good idea" then talked about polishing. I already understand that claying tremoves surface contanimates and polishing removes the surface (to remove swirls). Won't polishing remove surface contanimates if it removes the surface?

RE: claying and polishing
I have quite a bit ofexperience in this subject and in my experience, I don't use clay before each waxing but if you never have, your results will be better than without the clay. One thing to keep in mind is that not all clays are equal. Some will actually do more harm than good and I have learned this the hard way. I have always had top notch results with Griots Garage products. Their polishes, waxes, and all other detailing products are the best in my book.

Have used clay and found it usefull on older refinished cars trucks and bikes but on new rides it's almost not necessary and a waste of time in most cases..

RE: claying and polishing
I just bought the ZAINO range of products, including the clay bar for use on my new bike.
I heard they were great products and they have a lot of feedback on this site.
Can you please give a VERY detailed explanation of how to clay correctly...it sounds terrible "removes surface' etc.
I dont want to ruin my paint job and also wonder how to clay effectively around complex badges such as the HD lazer cut name plate.
Is it better to practice the treatment first on an area out of sight or maybe front fender only...that's what I was intending to do as it seemed to make sense.
Please let me know what you can, I dont want to ruin my bike!!!!
