using clay bar on new car for salt residue?

Pavel is right. Once you clay, as long as you keep a good coat of polish/wax on the paint, you should never have to clay again. If you're getting the stuff on/in your paint that requires the use of a clay bar to remove you're either 1) not polishing often enough or 2) not using a good polish. I used a clay bar on my wife's MPV when we got it new in '03 and the paint's just as smooth now as it was then. I apply Zaino twice a year. You can achieve the same results using at the same intervals Classe or Duragloss polishes as well.

I notice you like to use definitave word alot, you may want to stop that, because never,always,all,none, etc rarely happens... there are many other reasons you may want to clay bar; stuborn water spots, post bird shit clean up, just about anything one your paint you want off (tar, tree sap, etc)

and please do not encourage Pavel, his head is big enough
