That particular device scares the bejeezus out of me. No way I'd use one.

Default Yikes! I can't tell you what a BAD idea that is!

By the time you realize you have picked up a piece of debris you have gouged a permanent mess in your paint! Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Default Do NOT use that thing!

Claying should always be done by hand. You need to listen and feel the result. When the clay stops "hissing" on the paint, move to the next section. You should also feel a little drag. Too much drag? Spray on more lubricant (or soap). You can't do that with a machine!

I use my PC for almost everything including applying Zaino Z2. But NOT for claying!

Regards,

Dan.

Default I didn't even need to look at the picture. Saw the other's comments and the griot's link...

...and I just knew it had to be that stupid clay bar thing. SKIP!

Default Don't get the result you would by....

hand, but it saves you ALOT of time. It will not hurt your paint BUT remember to flip when dirty and kneed. You always get better results with up and down not circular.
My friend uses it for his business, but I think Griots is really pricey
