I dont like letting the clay stay on the car so I do sections... I will do managable sections at a time and wipe down after... (make sure to use alot of lubricant) But after I am done with claybar I dry then wax the car...

Thats the picture, I have new pictures but have not converted to Jpeg yet I shoot Raw....
I will throw some up after tomorrow...

I have never clay bar'd my Stang but i think it needs it from Autocross and NYC driving. How long does it take? Any tips for first timers? Which one do you use?

Yea I am tried but I am going to claybar my car on Fri or Sat it will be nice. Claybar takes a very long time but it is deff worth it. When you claybar the car make sure you wash your car and dry it well first. When using the clay bar, make it flat like a pancake and keep your car very lube from the spray.

Claying is pretty easy. Just make sure to use lots of lube spray or the clay will stick to the paint. When I did it last I would spray a small section of a panel than clay it, spray another small section and clay it.....continue until the car is done. It takes some time but it is well worth it. After you clay it wax the car up and admire

Thanks for the Tips guys, i plan on trying it one weekend this summer

 

[GREG]

clayed my car two days ago I cant stop touching it lol it feels like glass. I forgot to take pics sorry

 

[Stangerang]

Clay bar is good. I did it last year, before winter hitting, + polishing with a buffer, than waxing with a buffer....need to do it again, soon....

what does the clay bar stuff actually do ? the color on top of my hatch wing has faded and ive tried all kinds of waxes nothing works .. is the color not coming back cuz im not getting through the clearcoat ?any ideas?

 

[matt07gt]

Clay will grap all of the junk out of your paint that is not supposed to be there.......lube up a small portion of the car and just run the clay over it. I washed,clayed, and waxed this weekend....look 3hrs

 

[jewele]

[wildponies]

I like mothers but clay magic is cheaper and is prob jus as good.

I only use Meguiar's Clay Bar Kit- A little pricey but more towards industrial clay- it won't harm the paint but at the same time it will get the stubborn stuff out.

+1 on meguiars. They make good products. I clay bar once every 2 years.

I love cleaning too. wash it, blast some music, and just enjoy your time. Nothing better!
