Which Clay to use?

hi Guys,

When inspecting vehicles how do you know to use a more abrasive clay such as the Riccardo Blue versus the Riccardo Yellow? What factors are considered when deciding between the two clay bars?

Thanks,

 

I never used neither of Ricardo, but I do use and like Sonus Green clay bar...very soft and pliable, very easy to work with.

 

once youve washed your car, if you can get a sellophane ciggarette wrapper and sleeve it over your fingers it makes your nerves slightly more sensitive so you will be able to feel the contaminants on your paint.
the sonus green clay is great soft clay and leaves a great finish.
im not sure if you can get cheaper brands out there but in the uk ive got a supplier that does a great soft, yellow poly clay.
the meguiars quick clay bars are nice soft clay and also do a great job.:thumb:

 

I've used the sonus green and its okay. I have the ONR as clay lube but don't like it that much.. maybe I need to change my technique?

 

try Chemical Guys clay lube.

 

My first reaction to ONR in clay lube diluton was that it blew the QD out of the water that the Megs OTC clay comes with..I thought it was really slippery, plus its one less thing to have to worry about buying since the ONR has so many different uses..

 

I basically decide whether or not the blue Claymagic or Meg's clay is removing the contamination quickly enough... if not, out comes the red.

 

Try the blue, it has no cons over the Yellow but works better.

 

so who has a good way of getting Ricardo into the states??

 

Yes, please post it publicaly so we can be sure to catch it and cancel the sale.

 

:lol:

while we're at it, can someone send me a sample of vintage?
