In this video, I explain the process of a clay bar treatment as well as show you how to actually clay your vehicle using the Meguairs Smooth Surface Clay kit. I also point out that you can always just use your typical car soap/shampoo as a clay lubricant. ENJOY!!

Great job man! I happened to have just purchased the same product tonight and am watching a few videos to get different perspectives on how to clay bar my car. YOURS IS THE BEST ONE I’VE SEEN! You keep it simple and to the point. You were clear and concise during your instruction. I also liked that you demonstrated how to get this particular job done with two methods. I feel much more confident to do this. The other videos that I watched had me pretty nervous to do this. They made it sound and look a lot more scary by working on a vintage Porsche, or a 57 Chevy. Again, thanks for your work and sharing it with me.

Back in the early 80's when i worked at the dealership we used to use newspaper and glass cleaner to clean the windows and surprising it works well without streaks in the windows - i have a clay bar still in the soap dish i got from McGuires long time ago and its time to clay again.

Great video! Thanks for the instruction, I'm using a clay bar for the first time today. One note that Chemical Guys noted is if you drop the clay on the ground, toss it! This is to avoid scratching the paint. I personally use Zymol carnauba Japon wax. I live in Northern Virginia and find it last around nine weeks.

That’s right, any clay bar from any brand, is the only clay media that once you drop it you have to unfortunately get rid of it. Thank you for watching and let us know how the clay bar process went! :)

Thx for the video. What are your thoughts on using a silocone clay bar? Also, I used a quick detailer spray to remove some bee poop off of my car. But, now I have drip streaks. I washed. I washed my car but it didn't remove them. Would a clay bar be the way to remove the streaks? Or am I just not applying enough pressure when washing my car?

@forgivemylaughter 3 ай бұрын

For me I have never needed to clay bar anywhere other than the doors. The doors is where the grime and little black hard dots of dirt appear. When you feel the paint if you feel that grit and rough surface it needs clay barring. Nowhere feels like to me other than the doors. Waste of a clay bar to use it on a spot that does t have that grime from debris and break dusty etc like the doors. I didn’t know circles caused that tho good tip. I’ll go back and forth from now on.

I have a new car coming an bought some ceramic coat I'm going to apply when I get it I saw they had several steps todo before ceramic coat do you think clay bar before hand is nessacry

@detailingbeyondlimits Жыл бұрын

Hey Josh, a true ceramic coating is much more durable than any wax or paint sealant. It will also remain on the surface for usually a long time, so 9/10 times detailers or anyone coating a vehicle will go ahead and clay as necessary and paint correct/polish their paintwork as real coatings enhance the look of your cars paint. So depending on your vehicles condition I’d say see if any paint correction is required and at the very least I recommend you to clay bar the vehicle before applying a ceramic coating.

@detailingbeyondlimits Жыл бұрын

Yes, you can use the same soap! How are you planning on using it, with a foam cannon or in a sprayer bottle? If you are using the soap in a sprayer bottle then you don’t need the other lubricant, if you are using a foam cannon but also have the other lubricant with you, I don’t see why it would hurt to use it and help you out but overall, no, you would not need it.

Would claybaring my hood with old bird poop stains on it fix it or make it better?

@detailingbeyondlimits Жыл бұрын

I wouldn’t say it would fix it but it could be the first step to removing it OR making it look better than how it currently may look. Ultimately if you want to get rid of the etching (depending on how long it has been sitting on the paint) you more than likely would have to get it polished with any sort of compound and I believe you could do it by hand, it’ll just require some elbow grease! Hope that helps 👍🏻

I believe you may need to clay bar it and even have it polished out to get rid of the yellowing. The clay bar will remove any contaminates in the paint. The polish will bring the color back to life. Moving forward you want to ensure to apply some form of protection on to the paint whether it’s a wax, sealant or ceramic coating to protect the paint from the suns UV Rays.

Wait, what?! No before & after comparison? Come on, man? I watched the whole video assuming we'd see a before & after! I've used up probably over hundred clay bars over the years and they work almost like magic. I've managed to restore the finish on even old cars to looking better than showroom new. The clay will smooth the finish and remove any corrosion that hazes the finish to leave a gorgeous deep finish that almost looks like wet paint after waxing. Never clay a car unless you have time to wax the area you clayed. The only reason folks don't use clay is it requires some time & energy to complete. It's not difficult at all. If you use a detailing spray for lubricant, you don't even need water. This is old school tech that's been around for years. We used it back in 1990s to prep for IASCA competitions and it always provided excellent results. 👍
