Clay bars and clay starter kits
Tree sap, industrial chemicals and contaminants and overspray can all mark your paintwork. Sometimes, even the toughest shampoos can’t shift these marks. Don’t worry, a clay bar can help to remove the ugly stains, restoring a smooth-as-glass finish that’s great to the eye and to the touch.
Car clay bars are abrasive and work by shaving the contaminant from the surface of your car. There are various grades of clay bar available. If you’ve never used one before, we recommend you start with a light one to avoid any unfortunate mistakes.
preparing your vehicle for the clay bar
Before you start, make sure your car is immaculate by using a shampoo . It’s worth checking out our range of car car cleaning kit to help you get your vehicle prepped and ready. Your bar is soft to the touch, so break off a bit and form it in your hands before gliding it across the surface of your contaminant mark. Don’t apply pressure and don’t forget to use the lube! After a few passes, fold the bar back in on itself to give you a clean side, and have a few more passes - the results should impress you.
