How To Choose The Right Clay Bar For You!

How To Choose The Right Clay Bar For You! - Chemical Guys

Not all vehicles require the same detailing regimen which is why it is important to choose the right clay bar for your application. New vehicles may only need a light decontamination but this may not be suitable for older neglected paint. Using a clay bar removes contaminants from the pores of the paint that aren't removed during a normal wash. In this video we will show you how to properly clay your car after choosing which one you will need. Tear off a small piece of the clay bar and shape it into a disc that covers two or three fingers. Spray a generous coat of Chemical Guys Clay Luber over the surface to keep the bar lubricated, prevent marring, and avoid installing scratches or swirls.

SO glad I came across this video. Have been trying to figure out what to buy, what sequence to use, etc etc. Will keep searching under The Chemical Guys... but... is there a straight forward video that demonstrates from washing to clay-ing to waxing? In one video? My task is... '08 Saab, prior waxing is just starting to come off. So I need to wash the surface which includes stripping all prior product to prepare it for I assume, clay-ing, then moving on to a wax phase to lock everything down. Do I have that somewhat right?

@STILLNIGHTPEARL 4 жыл бұрын

You can use it, but the problem with an aggressive clay bar is that it leaves marring on the paint finish, this usually looks like a haze over the paint, to remove that you need to polish it out with something like V36 or V38. If the clear is on the harder side then you might get away with using the aggressive clay bar, and skipping the polishing step since there’s no marring, but you won’t know until you try it.

Should I wash and dry the car before I use the clay bar?

Hey Robert! Yes, reduce the chance of marring the vehicle by washing it before using the clay bar.

Do you have to clay bar before you wax?

@ChemicalGuys 4 жыл бұрын

Hey! Yes, we recommend claying the surface of the vehicle prior to applying ceramic, glazes, sealants, or waxes. Claying the surface will allow a proper bond from the coatings you are applying.

Can u use the darker clay bar on white paint???

@ChemicalGuys 3 жыл бұрын

Hey Andrew! That is perfectly fine, the condition of the paintwork is what determines which clay bar is necessary. It can be used on any gloss colored paintwork.

Hi there! Yes, you can use one clay bar to decontaminate several vehicle by rolling and kneading the clay bar until you can no longer find a clean side. - CG Nick
