Proof of Clay Bar Results!!
I know that everyone has wondered about the usefullness of a clay bar. some have said that they arent worth it because they dont do any thing, when in reality, they probably used them on their car which was probably a few weeks old. Of course they wont do anything because a clay bar is to be used to get particles off the paint that cannot be washed off. and a car that is only a few weeks old, wont have very much, if any contaminants and debis of that kind. now, ill explain what was done to my paint that nessecitated the use of a clay bar. Someone was building a large steel fabrication plant beside my place of employment, and during construction, an overspray was released into the air by some kind of fire-retardant spray needed for construction. so, it got all over my car and was impossible to wash of, my car looked dirty almost constantly. it felt as if there was sandpaper oon my car when you ran your hand over my paint. so, i tried the clay bar, took some pics, and here are the results. hope they help to resolve this issue.

i went to autozone, and i looked. i didn't find it, then i asked the guy behind the counter, and he said that they dont' carry it anymore, and neither does pep boys or anyone else. so....i guess im just gonna have to order it online, and wait for it to get here. but i washed and waxed my ride anyway....so nice and shiny!
