claybar? wat is that?????

 

it's a Clay bar. It works kinda like a giant eraser for your paint. but you MUST wax your car efterwards because it takes everything off, even clearcoat if your not carefull.

 

Claybar

 

Ya you can do another wash and dry after the claybar but I just using use a meguiars show shine after instead of another wash and dry.

 

hmmmmm! some good info. belated thx 2 every1

 

Mostly detailers use a clay bar most regular guys never heard of it.
Plus you really must use a wheel after otherwise it leaves fine scatches.
and do you really want to take a wheel to a new paint job so fast !

 

A claybar can scratch your car if you don't pay attention to what you're doing. Check the clay frequently for deposits (lifted from your car). Need (like you would dough when making bread...i can't spell worth a hoot) the clay to keep a clean surface available. And, most importantly...use a lubricant (the maguire's clay kit comes with one) not just water. Makes the job alot easier.

 

can detailing your car too much , say twice a week rub off your clearcoat? someone was telling me to stop washing my car so much cause i may rub it off.

 

Here is probably more info then everyone will ever need.

Thanks man.

 

if you get wax on the plastic mirrors use peanut butter it will come right off.

 

A good wax to use is the new turtle wax liquid ice. works great and makes my ss/sc shine.

 

You got the right idea. Using a claybar helps the wax to really soak in. Claybars are awesome!

 

the best way to get a shine is to wash with dawn liquid soap removes all the old wax.(only use before waxing). then dry then clay bar wipe off or wash again to remove dirt claybar got out. then paint clean polish if need and glaze if need but no matter what wax. must wax. for a great shine use carrnuba wax first let set for about 12 hours then hit it with a synthtic wax makes it shine much better and last a lot longer. also the jax wax products work great and the nxt wax is awosome.
