Hello Goldcylon,

A clay bar is used to safely remove surface contamination from your vehicle’s paint. The clay bar is also an excellent tool for removing bugs, tar, overspray, and tree-sap. The clay can also be used on glass and chrome surfaces to remove dirt and other contaminants.

If the surface of your paint feels rough or gritty it would be a great idea to hit the entire car with the clay bar before any type of polishing or waxing is done. If the surface feels smooth, simply omit the clay bar step.

To decide whether or not you need to use a clay bar, take a small plastic sandwich bag and put your finger tips inside of it. Place the bag on the surface of the car and slowly move your fingers around the inside of the bag. You will most likely feel small bumps on your fingers. Those small bumps are dirt pockets that have accumulated in the pores of the paint.

To remove the bumps of dirt, simply mist some of our Detail Spray (Which acts as the Clay Lubricant) over the surface of the paint and gently work the clay bar over the finish. I usually like to focus on one panel of the vehicle at a time, that way we are making sure the car is clayed thoroughly. Claying is a realativly short process, taking about 20 minutes to do a Corvette.

Once you are done using the clay bar, simply move onto polishing and waxing!
