Does a clay bar make a noticable diff, and is it worth the money?

thanks jay

 

Oh yes. A clay bar is basically the modern version of wetsanding. Wash your car and then run you hand over it. Chances are it will feall a little bumpy. You'll really notice it after you drive it. A clay bar gets that bumpiness out of the paint. A clay bar alonw wont really do that much. You have to follow it with a wax to make teh car really shine. Mother's sells a kit called the California Gold Clay Bar Kit which has the bar and a small bottle of wax will get you about 3 coats of wax. Its money well spent for amking a car look good.

 

Remember that 90% of your shine and reflection comes before you wax the car. It is all paint prep. Wash your car. Find you a ziplock baggy. Put your hand in the baggy and run it across the paint, if the paint feels rough it needs claybarred. It is worth claying. I usually do mine about 3 times a year. After you clay find a good polish. The polish will clean your paint and bring out the shine and reflection. After that,follow with a good wax or sealant.

 

Clay bar-red yesterday for the first time and it was well worth the effort. I couldn't keep my hands off the car -- feels so smooth! Made it really easy to wax, too.

 

what everybody else said.

Do it, you won't be disappointed. Definitley $9.99 well spent.

 

yes!

 

I bought the mothers clay bar kit for 18$ at Target.
