ive noticed there are differant grades of clay, whats the differance please and the results of each kind?
-
the different grades are for different levels of contamination, a car with light contamination will need a fine or ultra fine clay and a car with heavy contamination ie lots of tar spots,heavily bonded contaminants,fall out,grit,overspray etc will need a more aggressive clay to remove them.
if you havent clayed before id recomend a fine or ultra fine clay, aggressive clay in the wrong hands will lead to marring and re-scratching of the surface.

Have a look at either Dodo Juice Gentle Grey or Meguiar's Clay Kit, either will be perfectly suited to you.
