To get the ultimate shine from your vehicle’s paint you’ll first have to remove all the contamination. A simple wash will remove most of the loose contamination above the clear coat but over time some contamination will become embedded in the clear coat or tightly adhered to the surface. This contamination can be safely and easily removed by spraying clay lube on the clear coat and gliding a clay bar across the surface. This ultra soft clay bar is great at working into each tiny crevice and pulling out microscopic contamination so the clear coat is smooth. It can remove tar, paint over spray, bug smear, rail dust, dirt and other unsightly build-ups. You may think your clear coat feels smooth, but until you use a clay bar it is not truly smooth. Even on new cars the clay bar can smooth out the clear coat and pull out contamination. Approximately 75% of new vehicles in the U.S. are delivered on trains, which results in rail dust sizzling on the paint similar to brake dust on a wheel. The clay bar leaves the paint so clean and smooth that waxes and sealants can bond to the surface better and optimize their durability and shine. Clay bars also work great on bumpers, wheels, glass, plastic and more. Get the most out of your detail by including the use of a clay bar in your routine.
