Auto detailing clay is the detailer's best tool to ensure you get smooth as glass paint. If your car feels rough even feels like sandpaper, chances are your paint has tons of baked-on contaminates and dirt which has built up over time.
In this video, I show you how to properly clay bar your car using the Chemical Guys Clay Bars to pull embedded contaminants from paintwork, giving you a perfectly smooth finish where you can add wax, polish your paint or add a ceramic coating.

Small Suggestion: I clay all the nicer, more important areas first (hood roof doors etc) ...and then I continue on to progressively dirtier & less important parts of the car (low bumper, rockers, etc) ...this way, if the bar does get contaminated from such "high traffic" areas you won't be going straight to your hood next. Even with folding the bar, just seems much safer & fail proof this way... So I thought I'd share - Take care.

Followed up with Meguires Ultimate. This is a 2020 Mini Countryman S All4, picked up new in Dec 2020 and it barely has 5K km on it. So it hasn't seen a lot of road time but it's been exposed to weather since it arrived in Canada in Jan 2020. I'm glad we did it. Next consideration is possibly ceramic coating, which I'm just learning about.

@jerryhermann7233 2 жыл бұрын

Do this when you do. Feel the paint after washing. Then after claying it. Then after waxing it. Preferably do the hood. 1" painters tapeafter wash. Blue or green doesent matter. You need 3 sections to tape off. Cover the after wash section. Now clay the next section. Cover it and then wax the last section. Un cover the hood. Now feel the diffrnce. Washed, clayed, waxed will be smother than a babys bittom. So i say the effort is worth the elbo greese.

Claying your paint, no matter how much lubrication you use, will always mar or scratch your paint to some degree. How noticeable it is will depend on the color of your paint. The darker the paint, the more you will notice. I never clay a vehicle unless I plan on machine polishing.

Great video and lots of excellent advice - although I would typically follow a clay bar with a polish - even a one step polish/sealant primarily because even with the lightest touch and lots of lubricant the clay bar will always put some tiny, tiny scratches down (unless your clearcoat is super hard). I'm just a weekend DIY-er but I've gotten great results with a clay bar followed by a one step from places like Chemical Guys or Griot's and an inexpensive DA polisher and a soft-ish pad.

I was considering washing the truck, pulling it inside and going over it with a soft rag dampened with odorless mineral spirits to remove the contaminants, then back outside to rewash it with a good soap, after rinsing it thoroughly move it back inside to clay bar it. Then rewash and apply a protective wax. I just wondered your thoughts on this. Thank you!

I have a 10 yr old chrysler 300C. Live in Ontario also. 185k on it. I do this 6 times a yr. Wash, rinse, wash, rinse, dry, then go over with gas leaf blower, then clay, rubbing compound, wax, wash, gently toothbrush seams, dry then blow dry again. Showroom mirror like finish. She's a head turner. Keep the engine detailed as well.

Could you simply clay bar the car then get it waxed instead of doing a complete buffing to restore the shine?

@carswithsonduren 2 жыл бұрын

Correct! You certainly can.

@miketauber7220 Жыл бұрын

Watching the video, you missed one important thing, to fold the clay after first pass to clean side and go over one more time to make sure all contaminates are removed. Very important to get all contaminates off.

I've been using a clay bar for over 30 years...OMG the first one I bought was the size of a bar of the old type SafeGuard bathroom soap.the last few I got are smaller then a hotel bar of soap...I use it right after I wash the car...just rinse it, no dry time...spraying over the water droplets with the spray lube. , I use just soapy water ...an old windex bottle with a few drops or 6 of a non- ammonia or antibacterial liquid dish soap ( Ajax Orange bottle ). Switching out my drying towel about every different area ( top is one towel . sides are one towel and the hood and trunk one towel.) I do do another light wash after the clay bar...even without finishing the wax and polish ..the water is already beading down the panels.It does take about 5 hours to do it this way... but its worth it...used to take me a weekend on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis..

I'm so pleased I found you Sonduren. I have been looking for a concise, informative no nonsense explanation of how to go about clay baring a vehicle properly prior to polishing and waxing. I am actually considering using a ceramic product on both the paintwork and the glass as well next time (which is due in a month or two), your thoughts on ceramic as opposed to polish and wax? I always look after my vehicles so they are in fairly good condition. Have you done videos relating to those aspects, as I would be extremely interested in vewing them also. Regards, Paul.

Just paid cash for a dark blue '06 IS250 with 100k on it, sight unseen, online, so other than looking at all the dealership reviews, it was a bit of a gamble😬...The paint is hazy and the interior has some melting dashboard (that was filtered out of the online pics😏) so it's def gonna need some TLC. I'm a truck driver and rarely have personal time, hence buying without seeing her in person. I've never clay barred my BMW or any other vehicle I've owned so (as I like transforming things as well) just looked up a good tutorial and this was the first recommendation. It must've been fate LOL. Great video with clear and concise instructions. Thank you! 🤜🤛 Here's to a long life for my new/old daily driver! Subbed.
