Clay bar after sealent

[Adam Tarbox]

I have just recently sealed my vehicle and I was curious that if I clay bar the vehicle a week from now or couple of weeks from now, if that could harm the sealant. I know generally I would just need to wash the vehicle and wax in about a month or so, but would running the clay bar over a sealed paint harm the ceiling at all?

Clay will remove the sealant.

 

You'll need to reapply the paint sealant after you clay.

I thought as much, but did not know how resilant the sealant would be.

Curious...why are you claying so soon?  Did something happen, or can you feel contaminants?  Or did you not prep the surface the first time? Unless there’s a specific reason, that’s pretty soon to be claying if you just did a full prep.  Just a thought.

Sorry for the late response, but it was a curiosity question that popped in my head. One of those, "what if" type things

I use clay or a mitt monthly or maybe every other month on the lower rockers, of if i have bad bug guts.  Then just reapply to those small areas afterwards.  No biggy
