What would you recommend for a Clay Bar ?
For most of the surface clean-ups, I have been using the gray or blue mild bars from Clay Magic. It has been very effective for removing contaminants easily without inflicting micro-marring.

The Menzerna IP or SIP is more aggressive than the TC Swirl Cutter in removing mild-moderate scratches from f-body clear coats using the orange or purple pad on the PC or FLEX.

Steve, im about to purchase some products from Menzerna but I dont know what to go with. I dont know if I should buy the IP or SIP. Whats the difference between them two? and do I need to give it a pass with something else after to clean up the surface ?

First rinse after washing:

Do you just rinse this off? Or? Are you actually using something to wipe the car off with?

I did rinse this off before wiping down with microfiber waffle weave drying towels.

Both the IP and SIP can be used. The SIP contains a greater concentration of super fine abrasives, cuts faster using the FLEX or rotary compared to the PC.

On darker colors, you may need to follow up with a finer abrasive/pad combo if there is any micro-marring or hazing inflicted from the stronger combo. Our Swirl Cutter with a white pad is one option. We will be adding the Menzerna 106FA later this week to the line up.
