Most clay bar kits come with a bottle of lubricant - use it liberally and never use the clay on an area that isn't lubricated. All cars will collect microscopic dirt over time - the clay bar will remove it. You may think that your paint looks good prior to a clay bar treatment, but it will look amazing afterwards.

thanks wellardmac, i'll give these a try, i'd seen on ebay that quixx was suppose to be the best scratch remover, even over m3 & some others! if you have a good paint job do you still use the clay bar, or is that for cars with oxidation, & overspray? thx

My paint is pristine and I still use the clay bar once a year - it really makes a difference to the feel and appearance. Rub your finger over your point - it will be smooth, but you'll feel friction. After using the clay bar you'll feel nothing but a smooth low friction surface. As for Quixx - I've never heard of it, not heard of anyone mention using it, so cannot comment on quality. In terms of scratch remover, I only ever use Mother's scratch remover. 3M also makes an excellent product. If you search the porsche forums for other detailing threads like this I'm sure you'll find other recommendations. What kind of scratch are you trying to remove?

it's like a swirl of scratches about the size of a half dollar, not really sure what could have caused it, but its like alot of little scratches in a circle, which now the haze is twice that size now, but i even tried to clay it, then wax it, & buff it, still has a very dull (hazy) red color compared to rest of car

wellardmax, i jus noticed looking at the front of your car, do you have the covers on your headlights, i've been thinking about gettin some for my car, do that fit pretty snug, & are you happy with them, i've got one of my headlights that i jus can't quite get it clear enough, i've pretty much tried everything, but i've thought about gettin the covers, if so who did you get yours from, i seen where they have some that are from hong kong, but they look identical to all the others, but are 1/2 the price. your thoughts

Do not use sandpaper! If these are just swirls, then they should easily be removed. Here's a link to another forum that covered the topic well. Everything that you need is posted here. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...irl-marks.html

I do have covers on the front, but, know very little about them other than the previous owner installed them and that I was told that they were made by Gemballa. I would not have installed them myself, but they don't look terrible and it would cause more hassle to take them off.
