New to claying
Just looking for some advice and suggestions. As the title says, I'm new to claying and I wanted to do it on my 997.2 C2S. I've never done it before in my 1+ years of ownership and I wanted to do it last night. My goal for now is not to get rid of swirls and such but just to get the paint nice and smooth and relatively clean for a decent coat of protective wax/sealant.
Anyway, the clay I used was Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay because everyone seems to think it's pretty safe and non-abrasive way to clay a car. Well, after 2 hours I'm done. I'm pretty happy with the results, but not the amount of time it took to do the whole car. Is this a typical? Would a more "aggressive" clay speed up this process? Or is it because the car hadn't been clayed in over a year?
The next step later tonight is to use Pinnacle Paintwork Cleanser then apply some Collinite 845.

When you use too gentle of a clay, it's counterproductive. Try using this clay in the future:

Get the medium clay. It's the original one from Japan and it's one of the best. One container will do 15-20 claying application. Make sure to get the lube for it.
