Hi,

From the "ads" for clay bars, my car is totally in need of it - the dealer did one poor detail job on it and I am positive it had been sitting in the back of a lot of a 1/2 year with no care - paint feels very rough to the hands...

Is there anything special I should know before claybaring the car?

What brand would you recommend?

Thanks so much in advance,

check out www.paintcare-n-detailing.com. Its a pretty informative site. Clay bar's arent bad. Just be sure you keep the surface lubed.
Sounds like you might want to- Wash, Clay, Polish,Glaze and top it with a carnauba wax.

 

You might want to check out meguairs car product forum as well.
There are lots of great how to's on the site and will help answer your questions.

 

www.autogeek.net is a good site to watch instructional videos.

 

thank you so much for the site - what an awesome site!!! Can I take a 3 day weekend and Do the Wash, Clay, Polish, Glaze and top it with a carnauba wax or does it all have to be done in 1 day????

thanks again for all your help!!!

 

v6kid - thank you so much! I am going to check out that site right now, have a few minutes to myself :-)

Thanks again!

 

boomerman, thanks for the maguires site - i have it bookmarked!!! lots of reading to do - i appreciate the tips!

 

Check out liquid ice clay bar by turtle wax.. I have used it to detail many cars. Nothing but perfect results. Common compliments are, "is that a new paint job or something?" Maguires is awesome too. I use only those products, everything else sucks in my opinion. Good luck

 

Thank you for the info Grabber... I'll def. look into that~ by the way, my brother is on the grabber orange forum... in case you don;t know about it :-)
