Which clay bar is the best?

Medium –For paintwork that is in a reasonable condition, Medium will be preferred.
The easier folding of the clay to expose a fresh working surface will be very beneficial.

Soft – If the paint is in good condition. if you like to clay your vehicle frequently or if the weather is cold, use Soft.

To use a clay bar, spray clay lubricant with a spray bottle on a small area of your car. Then rub the bar back and forth with light pressure. Glide the clay car clay bar across your paint and ensure there is a lot of lubrication on the colour. Never use the clay bar dry. Listen carefully – at first; you may hear a rough noise – the ling particles away from the paint, then the noise and friction will disappear quickly.

What is a clay bar?

A clay bar, also known as a detailing clay or clay mitt, is a tool used in automotive detailing to remove embedded contaminants from the surface of a vehicle’s paint. It is typically made of a malleable synthetic clay-like material.

When a vehicle is exposed to the environment, various contaminants such as road grime, brake dust, industrial fallout, and tar can become embedded in the paintwork. These contaminants cannot be removed through regular washing and may affect the appearance and smoothness of the paint surface. This is where a clay bar comes in.

The vehicle’s surface is first lubricated with a detailing spray or a specific clay lubricant to use a clay bar. The clay bar is then gently rubbed over the lubricated surface in straight lines or light circular motions. The clay bar picks up and removes the contaminants as it glides over the surface, leaving the paint clean and smooth.
