I used meguires and the chemical guys clay. Use lots of clay lubricant, and if the bar gets reallydirty or you drop it by accident you will have to toss it, you dont want that in the paint. After its done you will not believe what you pull off. Used to do body work and paint for a living at a high end car shop.

but YES .... CLAY .... not dough
You can make playdough
http://fun.familyeducation.com/sculp...pes/37040.html
"Everyone seems to have a favorite playdough recipe, and many old favorites have been included here. Some require cooking and some don't; some are meant to be eaten and some are not. Choose the recipe that best suits your needs and the ingredients you have on hand. Store playdough in a covered container or Ziploc bag. If it sweats a little, just add more flour. "
CLAY on the other hand: Clay is a fine-grained natural rock or soil material that combines one or more clay minerals with traces of metal oxides and organic matter.
I do not recommend eating CLAY
$3.30 and use soapy water or the detailing spray you already have on hand.
The last clay kit I saw cost $20 on sale. It contained a full size bottle of detailing spray, a micro fibre towel and a plastic box containing two individually wrapped blocks of CLAY maybe 4 inches square and a quarter inch thick.
The clay I mentioned is EASILY 4 of those boxes, really more like 8! ... but I'll be nice and say two, so the clay retail cost is $1.65 GENEROUSLY . . I trust you can do the math from here .... In truth you overpay for a bottle of detail spray which you don't need cuz soapy water works, and a microfiber towel ..... the clay is free and a zip lock bag is better for storage (or a small tupperware)
++++++++++++++++++
I wonder if playdough would work? I might just have to try that .....

Had my car for only 1400 miles. I was spray detailing the other day and realized I have fairly rough paint for a new car. My car was originally delivered to South Carolina then trucked to Austin Texas. Is it unusual that I'd need to clay bar already. I also live right next to a pretty busy train track.

I would afterwards as the clay system strips the wax off. That's why in the kit we include wax sealant. Then use the spray wax after that for in between wax.

Yea, most new MINI from transit even going through the VDC get a little dirty on the paint. Mine was when new and a little clay fixed that.
