yeah that you heard me

claying my head lights and my clay bar disintegrated turned into a sticky mush and clay was all over the place wtf

i had gum do that to me once too it just turned into liquid mush

i wrote a complaint to the company about that and i got $0.35 cents back for the piece of gum too

 

How hot was it out? How humid? What kind of lube were you using for the clay?

And lastly, what kind of clay was it?

It's not uncommon for clay to disintegrate given the proper conditions

 

you might want to try the Ice liquid clay

 

it was a mothers clay bar the weather was perfect low humidy real nice temp in the lower 80's and i tore the label off the lube i was using it was some sort or speedy detail spray it smells like cherry

 

Purple spray bottle? Label has lime green on it. If so, it might be the NXT detailer.

 

it was had a red label

 

That's odd. I never had trouble with Mothers clay bars.

 

make that a red and black label

 

I think I've heard of that with Mothers. Not a big deal, just try doing it next time when its not so hot or humid.

Also, rip the clay into a lot of smaller pieces... so that if one disintegrates or (more likely) you accidentally drop it, you can throw it away without having to waste the whole bar.

Meguiar's clay is excellent for over the counter clay.

 

How long have you used the clay? When it breaks down and you can't use it any more that is what it will do. If you have used it for a while it's time to buy some new clay, if it's new I would want a refund.

 

second time i used the clay last time i used it was about 5 months ago

 

It should still be fine, unless you had a ton of contaminates in your paint, and that would break the clay down.

 

lol well the lights were spray tinted and did have a lot on contaminates on 'em and thats all i clayed too

 

I used the same clay stuff recently to rub off some paint splatter and it was fine with the detailer stuff it came with but when it ran out i tried to use it with a drop of hand soap & REGULAR WATER mistake it started to fall apart right away so now I'm waiting to get paid to finish the rest of my car and get more of the detailer spray @ 9.99 per bottle. Rip off wish I knew what was in it so i could go a cheaper route!

 

the product i used was called "black magic detailer spray"
