As long as you use plenty of QD, you will be fine!

Clay scratches when it drags grit across the paint without lubricants (quick detailer). Do you guys wash again after claying?

Optimum No Rinse is an awesome product! Perfect cleaning solution during winter time. It's also versatile because aside from being your no-rinse shampoo, it can also be used as a clay lubricant and QD (just dilute it properly). So it actually saves you $$$ and shelf space since you don't have to buy those products separately.
What do you think about this?
I might try it just to add some more lubricity to the wash water in addition to Griots Garage Shampoo.

Yes, that's another use for it. But IMO, unless you really have hard water in your area, I think it's just a waste of product since the Griots Garage Shampoo already has good lubricity as it is.

Nope, you still need water to dilute it with, just like any other car shampoo. The cool thing is that you don't have to rinse it, just wipe it dry. So it's perfect for cleaning your car inside the garage during the winter months.

Works well??? I can't believe I've never heard of this before.
