Maguire's Clay Bar

its def. worth it. makes your paint smooth as a glass.
you'll be able to feel the difference right away.

got my meguiars clay bar two days ago, and did my whole car together with my gf and tc2_thumper, paint feels new, it's amazing, just absolutely amazing.

 

Meguiars clay bar works wonders!

 

yeah, i use the same. use their quick detailer with it.

spray the quick detailer on then go over it with the clay bar and wipe dry with microfiber cloth. Do sections at t time. Then throw some NXT on there omg looks like glass and feels so smooth.

 

I just finished washing, drying, claybaring (first time, ever doing this!) , waxing, and buffing my 08 BSP Tc. I had recently tinted the third brake light and side markers using the tint for RC cars and had a bit of overspray on a window and the rear panel. (I took as many precautions as I could, but the overspray was overwhelming =/ ) First hand, let me tell you that the claybar was AMAZING. I didn't even use the best claybar that everyone is recommending here, I bought the lower end Mother's claybar kit from walmart for a little under $15 . The paint looks smooth, shiny, and very debris-free.


If you're uncertain about how it works, look it up on youtube. You'll get a few tutorials that will help you out greatly.


Good luck on your car-washing endeavors.

 

xAbazzilion!!! Quick Detailer is good stuff!!

 

1 box of this is enough for the whole car?

 

1 box can be clay 3 to 4 cars. I keep dropping my clay bar. So i have a lot extra detail spray left..
I bought some purple clay bar on Ebay.

They are very cheap , 8 oz clay bar compare to MOther's 2.82 oz clay bar.
I only use 1/3 of that clay bar each time. They are little harder than Mother's clay bar at first. But after a little while it soak up some detail spray. It is soft and works almost good as Mother's clay bar.

 

?? 3 times what??? i can clay my whole car 3 times?

 

yes

 

thanks for that link on youtube. that made it alot easier!, il post pictures of what it came out like lol, but your going to have to excuse the pictures because they were taken with a nasty camera, and i am not a good photographer lol

 

What brand did you end up using?

 

here are the huge pictures! lol

 

i ended up using Maguire's Clay Bar kit, came with the clay stuff, spray detailer, a towel and a bottle of wax

 

I've been wanting to clay bar my car but I have been wondering if you can clay bar your car too many times. Like will it damage the paint if done too often cuz off do I'll just wait till I accumulate more imperfections.

 

Clay bar your car too much? you kidding I do it every 2 weeks, and my paint is spectacular.
