Thanks for the props... I can't take too much credit, though, as it's just stuff I learned from others around the net 
I'm curious about your gooey clay, though... That sounds really strange! I've never had that happen. I follow the instuctions on the jar, and store it with some Speedshine in the container. The stuff is not water soluable (as anyone who has ever tried to remove residue from their paint can attest!), and doesn't seem to be "speedshine soluable" either. I've never had mine go gooey on me -- quite the opposite... had a wrapped, unused bar dry out and get too hard.  |
I had it stored in the plastic tub with about 3/8" of speedshine in the bottom of the container. I left it this way in the garage cabinet for 9-12 months or so. When I went to use it, it was the consistency of freshly chewed bubble gum. It stuck to my hands and was darn near impossible to get off. Needless to say, I didn't use that clay, I just tossed it. I had a slightly newer piece stored the same way, and it was gooey, but not nearly as bad as the older tub. I threw it away after I used it last also.
