I love clay. It takes a good amount of time, but the car looks awesome after. The paint feels so smooth too. Nice work.

you spray a quick detailer onto your car in patches of like 1ft x 1ft, then you take a ball of clay (comes with the clay bar kit) and rub the quick detailer into the car. the clay picks up the pieces of dirt left in the paint and then you wax the car when you're done claying the entire car. obviously you would clay bar the car after washing it thoroughly.

You should've cut the clay into 6 pieces instead of using the whole thing on your whole car. Use each piece per panel or section, that way you wont scratch your clearcoat with the old deposits. Throw the clay away after you've used it on a panel. To get maximum usage with the small pieces of clay that you've cut, roll them up and smash them like half dollar coins.

Have faith! It takes forever and your arm is sore like you jerked it for several days straight, but it makes your paint sooooo smooth. My paint isn't perfect by any means, but my rear bumper tends to collect a lot of debris and this is the only thing that will get that debris out.

Viva le clay bar.

YUL was right - you need to polish after you clay or else it's easier for debris to get into the paint.

When you say this it sounds as if you think the clay bar protects the paint. You may or may not know that its strictly for removal of surface contaminates and any old waxes. As many have already said, you must polish and wax after the clay bar. This is mainly so any novice reading this doesnt assume something incorrect.


Quick Reply: Just used "Mothers" Clay bar!!! IT WORKS!!!
