I have never used a clay bar before! What do I need to do?

 

You can use a quick detailer or some car wash solution mixed in a spray bottle with water as your lubrication. Just do a 2x2 section at a time. Spray on plenty of lubrication and let the clay glide across the surface. There is no need to apply any pressure. Once the clay starts getting dirty just knead it to a clean section and keep going. After each section wipe off the residue with a microfiber. Your paint should feel very smooth when you are done. The way to check to see if your paint needs clayed is....wash the vehicle as normal and then put your hand in a plastic baggy and run it across the paint. It will feel rough if the car needs clayed. If it hasn't been clayed before it will probably need it for sure.

I would also break the claybar into 3 pieces. Use one piece and put the other 2 away. If you drop the clay on the ground it has to be thrown away because it will pick up all the junk off the ground. So if you drop 1 of the 3 pieces you can just get another one,it basically saves you from throwing a whole claybar away. Hope this helps.

 

Can't say it different, just LOUDER...exactly what Juztang just said.....

 

Thank you so much for that reply! As soon as I get mine in the mail I will tackle that job! Thanks again!...I ordered it off of Poorboy's World.

 

Got your order! Thank you. It will ship out first thing Monday morning. Let me know if you have any questions once you get everything.

 

From experience, let me tell you, you will love your paint after this. If you have the time and patience, start with the red clay, go to yellow, then to blue, the perfect paint setup is 3 hours away.

 

Is it an absolute necessity to wax after claying? I want to clay my car today for the first time. Today is the first time for a month that no rain is in the forecast for several days, so I want to get it done. But...it is cooold. It will be miserable washing, drying, claying and then waxing.
