I was using mother's clay bar and was almost out of the detail spray. so i grabbed my meguiars quik detail spray and used that in replacement. well, i resumed the clay barring process and then noticed the clay bar residue in the areas i laid on the surface.

i had to clean up the clay bar with the meguairs step 1 paint cleaner.

so is the meguiars quik detail spray a 'no-no' with clay bar? seemed like the mequiars broke down that clay bar and made it semi-sticky/oily.

isnt the quick detail that comes with the clay bar the same as the other stuff you used...

There's your answer......

So you have to use meguiers clay bar with the spray right?

I have used both the Mothers and Megs clay bars and detailer sprays interchangeably with no issues. I am not sure why you are having issues. Clay bar residue usually means you hit a dry spot or not enough lube.

I have had clay bars go slimy but it was when using a soap as a lube.

meguiars clay bar is used with meguiars quick detail spray, so i am guessing you piece of clay went bad or was used up...it was probably filled up with contaminants and thats why it came apart...

thats one thing i dont get, what kind of lube to use while claying. IIRC i've dedicated lube, and also soap & water

Sounds like it may have just lost all of its moisture content too.........
