Q:
Is it ok to use a clay bar on the starshield?
Followed by...have you guys been using Rejex on the starshield?
A:
Your not suppose to clay the starshield. No idea about the rejex thou.
A:
I've had no problems with putting RejeX on Starshield. Bug splats are easier to clean off with RejeX on the Starshield.

A:
But! If you use zaino on the starshield you don't need to apply rejex as well as both are sealants, and the reading I did said zaino actually held up better.
I did rejex my wheels. Don't know if it makes easier to get off brake dust or not, will know in a week.

RejeX works great, paint and wheels! Thanks khamai for the recomendation! I have it on almost all of our cars now.

I've clay'd many cars with starshield and similar products (ie 3M Film) as tiny bits of debris do get embedded that should be removed. Rejex is fine as any polymer sealant. It gives immediate "bling and slickness" but it loses its effect quite soon. I'd recommend zaino.

I recall reading somewhere on a 3M website that the way starshield is designed the outer layer is softer than the rest, I forget the reason why, but that is the reason that 3M recommends against using abrasives, wax, etc on those surfaces. This would include clay bars as they are abrasive...

Any other ideas on how to clean the spots and stains on the starshield? My Elise is KG and they can be quite visible.

Indeed manufacturers must post up overly warnings and instructions but in this "lawsuit frenzied" world we live in this is now become common place to protect your *** ets!
It could be done once or twice with no ill effect. I would not do so on an ongoing basis though, like every 6 weeks.
I have also used my porter cable with soft foam pads and applied a light compound to many clear bras and then waxed over with a sealant. I have also done this by hand but I only use compounds with very low abrasive properties which don't cause any residue build up. The residue is what will cause "haze" long term.
A really one time deal, then follow safe washing and drying procedures and this is all you should need to do.
