Every car finish shares a common enemy: pollution. It relentlessly pursues your car from the second it leaves the factory until your car meets its ultimate demise. It's in the air we breathe, it's on the roads we drive, and it attaches to your car's paint, where it bonds and begins a process of oxidation.
When contaminants get a solid grip on your car's paint, washing alone may not be enough to remove them. Pre-wax cleaners also may not be able to exfoliate large particles. In this case, you have two choices: use a polishing compound, which removes a lot of paint material, or use a clay bar. Clay isn't a polish or a compound, it is a surface preparation bar that smoothes the paint and exfoliates contaminants.
Clay is not a cure-all or a replacement for polishing. It's a tool for quickly and easily removing surface contamination.
Tree sap and tar specks can also be safely removed with a clay bar.
Using clay on windows (exterior) to remove heavy road film, bug deposits and water spots. It works very well.

STEPS
- Wash The Surface – It is very important to start with a clean surface. You do not want to rub and roll the dirt as that will scratch the paint surface.
- Feel The Surface – Use your hand to rub on the paint surface. If it feels dry, bumpy, or you feel a drag, then you need to clay bar that area. As mentioned, this can be used on paint or glass for overspray too.
- Use The Clay Bar – Flatten the clay bar and use the detail mist to lubricate the surface. Be sure to use plenty of clay lubricant/Water. Keep the surface you're working on wet. Work on a small area at a time. Rub the surface until it feels smooth and slick. Spray a lubricant/Water on a small area of your car and rub the clay back and forth with light to medium pressure. If the lubricant begins to dry, you'll need to spray more. Clay is fairly sticky and cannot be used dry.
- Clay bar works great on glass surface also, as it collects surface contamination also. Don’t forget to do your glass as well and you will be surprised as to how much better you will see and how your windows will look.
