Hmmm... this is new. My clay turned red.
While prepping my classic's paint for polishing yesterday, I noticed that when claying the front "wings" (fenders) my clay was turning red. It started out feeling rough, almost like I was dragging the clay across overspray or something, but it eventually got smooth. However, I've never seen the clay pull off pigment like that. The bonnet did not do this. I also noticed that the clay seems to have left behind actual scratches in the wings' paint - I clayed in a straight line, front-to-back, and now I can see some really fine linear marring in that direction that I'm pretty sure wasn;t there before I started. Hmmmmmm...
I'll do the doors when I get home, but I wonder about using Swirl on such delicate paint... I'll start with the default PC white screw-on pad, which Heather tells me is finer than the orange velcrro-backed pad, and I'll DEFINITELY do a test patch first before I start doing the whole car. I've got moderate swirling and even some hazing going on - looks like the previous owner washed the car with a loofa or maybe a 3M scouring pad or something... gah!.
