I'm used to using Megs smooth clay for general usage, but it won't touch paint spots that fell upon the car from somebody spraying a boat nearby with I think white gloss. I've tried removing the spots that fell on the windows with a plastic credit card, but they still won't budge.
Has anyone got any good things to say about Megs Aggresive Clay? Not sure if this will shift the gloss spots?

Thanks
 
I use exactly the same as Wellsy above.

My dad used it on his Audi A6's bonnet which had got covered in overspray from painting the gates on the wall outside the house; the clay bar removed it all. Granted, the overspray wasn't so bad that you could see it in the paintwork, but you definitely notice it when washing as you could hear and feel it through the wash mitt.
 
Problem with using aggressive clay is you will need to machine polish the car afterwards as you will get severe marring.
 
Hi thanks for the reply.
I do have a machiune polisher, so that's not a problem.
I'm not sure the Bilt Hamber Regular auto clay bar is any more aggresive than the Megs smooth bar I currently have, hence the inclination to use a more aggresive clay. The paint spotting is very hard to budge.
 
IPA wipe down maybe? If your going with an aggressive clay you will remove any protection on the car anyway.

My boss had orange fence paint spots all over his Saab a few years back when a neighbour sprayed their fencing. the only thing that would budge that was APC cut 4:1 and some elbow grease !

Blimey bet he was happy.

Try cement on my car! That was a massive job to safely get rid off.
 
Yeah... he wasnt overly impressed... i spent about half an hour just on half of the bonnet with the APC and it was coming off but i gave him the stuff to get the rest off and left him to it...lol
