niedzial1983 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Clay bar are fun to use :). Just use plenty of lubrication (50:50 shampoo and water in a spray bottle will do ) And what ever you do dont drop it !!!! It will pick up all kind of crap They come in bars so cut some off and work it with your hands to make it soft. Make sure you work it again after each panel so you always have a clean side. Wash your car before , best to use a snowfoam as pre wash You can clay all glass and lights too Slight down side all paint chips will show as clay will pick up all dirt lol Polish and wax at the end to protect :) And show us the results !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WPAWS Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Well weather has stopped play but so far all i can say is clay is fantastic to use and lifts everything, you can actually feel it lifting stuff off the bodywork and leaving a ultra smooth finish the 1st image is a clayed side and the other pic is unclayed you cant really see much difference but i`m sure Piotr will agree you have to feel the difference more than see it tomorrow weather permitting i will finish the clay then get a good coat of wax on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
