Clay Bar: Fine cut vs Medium cut
thinking of getting some new clay for my weekend project.
came across some brand name has two different grades of clay. Fine vs Medium. I will be detailing two cars, the first one is only 1 year old, the other one is ~10 years old, which i have been claying it every year, using mother's CB, ( i have no idea what kind of grade is) so my question is, how do i determine when should i use a medium grade CB? thank you all

It really depends on the condition of the car but if you're going to follow your claying with paint correction on a pretty bad vehicle, I would just use the medium grade clay. For maintenance, the fine clay will do. Good luck.

I usually spray every few seconds or so just to ensure there is enough lubrication between the paint and the clay bar. I'm not too picky about using a specific "clay lube" but I find that using the ONR clay lube mixture is the most economical for me and many others here at DB.

The ONR clay lube mixture is really just a dilution of Optimum No Rinse.
Behavior of not supplying enough clay lube for the clay is when the clay catches on the paint, making it very difficult for it to move across the paint.
