Just finished waxing the Focus with Soft99 Kiwami.
Very pleased with the looks, hoping it's reasonably durable, though not expecting Fusso levels.

Interesting video about the potential risks of claying. https://youtu.be/xPu4sAYF5ec?list=PL...r6ARNMZbr-imFq

Soooooo excited to see the full Armour Detail Supply range go on sale at Detailing Shed today!
https://detailingshed.com.au/collect...-detail-supply Armour Detail Supply (ADS) are only a young company, but they have certainly made an impact, many calling them the next Carpro or Koch Chemie. What I love about this company is the gusto they have brought to the industry, a young bloke with a passion and drive to succeed. Well, its paying off because products like Hero and Amplify are huge demand across the US. While the coating line has been available for a few months now, including THE best wheel coating on the market, the maintenance line has only just arrived. I basically ordered one of everything to sample and I can't wait to try them out, especially the above-mentioned Hero rinse-less wash and Amplify quick detailer. I haven't been this excited for a new detailing brand for a while now.

You should only ever break out clay media unless you absolutely need to, you are otherwise installing (more) micro marring that wasn't there before hand. A well-maintained vehicle with a healthy LSP and washed on a regular basis mostly negates the need for claying. Naturally, a neglected vehicle, or one subjected to areas of high industrial fallout (airports, railways ect), well yes, claying would be needed more frequently, maybe once a year. I only know if claying is needed after all of my other decontamination steps.................iron remover followed by an alkaline pre-soak, followed by an acidic contact wash. If the paint feels smooth after this chemical treatment, then you remove a step and don't go rubbing on your paint with what is basically a piece of dirt. If the paint still feels rough, then progress to clay.
