the difference will be in the slickness of the painted surface
contaminants will if done correctly be removed
first time and all that to a car that hasnt had it done before
could take 2 hours to do it properly if heavily soiled

I did a client's Mercedes a couple of weeks ago (black) and it was a nightmare to clay bar. I was shattered by the end of the day. White bar now a brown bar. LOL

Hi
Used Maguires clay kit on mine and it was brilliant. To do it properly (clay and wax and detail) it took a good 6 hours(!) But boy was it worth it. It gleams and a quick wash now brings it up spangling.
