Yes, you can clay a car in 1/2 hour. However, clay will remove all the wax as well as the contaminates. So add extra time to re-wax the vehicle.
Griot's clay (I have only used Griot's so can not comment on other brands)works well to remove overspray, embedded grit, etc. from the paint. There are really no worries, justbe sure to use a good lubricant like Griot's Speed Shine with the clay.
To clean the lass buy Bon Ami Brand Cleaning Powder, the "Hasn't Scratched Yet!" baby chick trademark dry powder cleanser, made by the Faultless Starch/Bon Ami Company. Use a garden hose to wet the windshield then apply a small amount of Bon Ami to a wet sponge or soft cloth and clean the windshield. Let the Bon Ami do the work. Do not apply much pressure to the sponge or cloth. Just gently scrub the entire windshield. Thoroughly rinse the windshield and surrounding paint and dry the windshield with a soft cloth. DO NOT USE Comet or Ajax as they WILL scratch the glass.
An alternative to Bon Ami is Griot’s Garage Glass Polish or Fine Glass Polish.
