You got a point there. But really, most detailers would not recommend claying frequently. Sure you can, but claying is risky bcause if you do not do it properly you risk damaging the paint.  Plus, the claybar does not come cheap.  If you are a detail enthusiast and know what you're doing, then go ahead. 

Contamination such as dirt, tar, bird droppings can stick (bonds) to the paint surface, that is why good detailers will use Cleaner Wax before adding other coats of real wax / sealant.  Cleaner wax contains cleaning agents to remove not only dirt, grime, but also old wax.  Some good example of these is Soft99 Meta-Clean Wax.  Use it before applying your real wax / sealant. For tough grime on near the fenders, try using a good Tar Remover, but use it sparingly. 

It is not recommended to apply harsh treatments like polish, compound, and claying more than twice a year. These product may reduce the "clearcoat" layer of the car paint.  Only use product that is gentle on paint surfaces.  There is a thread here for detailing freaks like you and me:

yup. once done the detailing, no need to be so frequent do again. twice a year is sufficient already. the rest of the day, car wash is more than sufficient.

oh yeah, the claying bar, once used then have to throw aways, can not be used back again.

i noticed tht, why most of us is place important on the RIM but not the TYRE???

Tyres is more important than the rim.

if u gets a Japan rim, but with low Q tyres, also no use.

you are joking me?I drove Yaris for few days last year and it was more powerful than myvi. Much more should i say?

May not be significant but surely you can feel it if you drive both cars

My last service with p2 is 25k-30k like that (can't remember). Then i go to enoes to service. Enoes service if farrrrrrrr more better then the p2. Just walk in bring everything u need to change and kautim on the spot. If p2 (i still remember a staff from p2 say) Maaf Encik, kita tak tahu apa2. Sila berhubung ke pejabat kami untuk membuat appointment. In my mind, i already curse like hell. All i want is to get 1 screw because my back door screw lost. So each time i hit bumper or holes they thing cause noise. Very irritating noise. Please don't tell me to get only 1 screw need to make appointment  doh.gif . I walk away during we talking  rclxms.gif . He was shock with my action and puzzle a minute. Here's the best part. I drop by enoes kepong (friend2 recommend) i told one of the foreman about my problem guess what less then 30 second solve my problem. He took one long screw and screw it up at my rear door. Kautim. Somore free of charge  rclxms.gif . Then i make pact to myself, no more p2. It's su ckz big time. I might visit that ridicules p2 place for my chain belt. that's all  shakehead.gif
