Nastiest clay I've ever seen. Alot of the black marks on the clay are from tar/tire pieces

I use a process similar to the two bucket method when cleaning leather interior. Dip into first cup of clean water, spray foam onto microfiber, wring off dirt into second cup and repeat. Here's the difference in water.

Quick 50/50 process in an attempt to show the correction. Interlagos blue is one of the hardest colors to catch on. Always tricky
