Anyone Claybar?
I was looking at this one, Chip Foose is a spokesman for Mothers and you can drop it and it cleans off easily. I've dropped mine and had to peel off parts of the clay and throw it away from the stuff it picked up.

I've read that plumbers putty works fine.................but I've never tried it.

30 minutes to clay bar a Jag?
Maybe if it's clean to start with, but mine's been about 5 years since its last cut and polish, and it lives under a carport, so I'm expecting at least an hour by the time I get through all the layers of dirt.
You can do it in sections though. I have already done the glass, so maybe next time I will just do the bonnet roof and boot, followed by wax of course. Then next time I will go around the sides and bumpers.
The most important thing after using a clay bar is that you apply wax/polish afterwards. It's not the clay itself that makes the car shiny, or provides and protection, it's that you have a properly clean and smooth paint finish to apply your polish onto.

Yes I usually claybar about 3 times a year. I love the look after the claybar then a good wax job. Looks like a mirror. I too do the towel thing. After all is finished I take a micro fiber towel and toss across the hood. Love to see it slide all the way off onto the ground.
Mirror finish, extremely satisfying...........towel sliding off the hood......priceless!
