Re: How often to clay, and spoiler? Posted by Slaab [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: How often to clay, and spoiler?, Jeremy R., Sun, 23 Oct 2005 22:29:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Clay actually is mildly abrasive - you can mar the paint (looks like hazing) if you don't use enough lubricant. The clay should glide smoothly and easily - if it skips, grabs, or shudders you'll need to use more lube. If you do happen to mar the paint, most mild auto polishes will be able to fix it. If you keep a good coat of wax/sealant on your car after claying, you shouldn't have to do this more than once a year.
As for the spoiler, try Poorboy's trim restorer - you can find it online - try amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002UQAKW/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0002UQAKW&linkCode=as2&tag=thesaabnetwork). It does a great job on black trim pieces. If you resolve to repaint it, you can get Paintscratch.com to mix up some to match the rest of your car - just provide them with the paintcode on the door jambs or specify a flat black. They'll put it in a spray can for you to apply and some clearcoat. Not too difficult at all to do, and will integrate the spoiler very nicely - if you like that look. I would remove the spoiler completely before doing this, and prep the spoiler for painting.
