How To Clay Bar Your Car - Detailing Beyond Limits

In this video, I explain the process of a clay bar treatment as well as show you how to actually clay your vehicle using the Meguairs Smooth Surface Clay kit. I also point out that you can always just use your typical car soap/shampoo as a clay lubricant. ENJOY!!

I look at a lot of videos and you are the best. I had those rust looking spots on my brand new car and that Meguiars kit took it right off. Thank you bro.

[@enriquerojas3221]

I love that you do it step by step and always learning something new or how to do it better

Thanks Enrique! 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanx. Ill be trying on a 86 elcamino that was repainted 4 yrs ago. This will be the first real detailing its had since then.🤞

[@danklein8587]

Thank You for this video. Very informative.

[@truckingwithpacdawg2202]

I can always count on you my guy to come through with the informative video. Got into the game last year watching you. Now I’m out here in Atlanta looking to take detailing up the next level. People don’t understand what a clay bar can do for their vehicle 💯💯

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

You got it brother! Thanks for watching :)

Great video and thorough explainations 👍🏼 excellent !!

[@sloweddownsounds503]

Perfect video man was just about to look this up and saw you uploaded! Keep up the amazing work man you’re doing great ❤

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Awesome! Thank you for the support 👍🏻

[@Hyperbolous]

Great job man! I happened to have just purchased the same product tonight and am watching a few videos to get different perspectives on how to clay bar my car. YOURS IS THE BEST ONE I’VE SEEN! You keep it simple and to the point. You were clear and concise during your instruction. I also liked that you demonstrated how to get this particular job done with two methods. I feel much more confident to do this. The other videos that I watched had me pretty nervous to do this. They made it sound and look a lot more scary by working on a vintage Porsche, or a 57 Chevy. Again, thanks for your work and sharing it with me.

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Awesome Rick, thank you so much for your comment! I understand how overwhelming it can seem for beginners, however once you get the gist of it you find out how easy it actually is! Thanks again.

[@cyborg251]

Your instructions are always very detailed and you never leave anything out, like some other channels on KZbin. Just wanted to say thank you for doing these videos…very well done!!! I wish you best of luck and hope your business is booming!

Back in the early 80's when i worked at the dealership we used to use newspaper and glass cleaner to clean the windows and surprising it works well without streaks in the windows - i have a clay bar still in the soap dish i got from McGuires long time ago and its time to clay again.

[@InfernoBow]

[@jdoe836]

Great video! Thanks for the instruction, I'm using a clay bar for the first time today. One note that Chemical Guys noted is if you drop the clay on the ground, toss it! This is to avoid scratching the paint. I personally use Zymol carnauba Japon wax. I live in Northern Virginia and find it last around nine weeks.

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

That’s right, any clay bar from any brand, is the only clay media that once you drop it you have to unfortunately get rid of it. Thank you for watching and let us know how the clay bar process went! :)

Can you do a video on using a ceramic spray coating please

Nice Video, before watching your video I literally wash/details all my cars like you explained to do so and steps you did. I have always wash my cars and never let anyone touch them. I might hit you up tho to come out to riverside Ca since we have the same techniques . I def trust your attention to detail off just this video . 🤝

[@jefferrrson1x]

Thanks for the tips man. You think using ONR as a lubricant is ok for clay?

Good video, question, if you are using just a regular clay bar, after you're done playing, do you have to use a polisher? Thank you.

Do you just lightly slide the clay bar or do you have to apply pressure to the bar?

[@brianidiartefitness]

Thank you !

You’re welcome Brian! 👍🏻

[@christee299]

Thx for the video. What are your thoughts on using a silocone clay bar? Also, I used a quick detailer spray to remove some bee poop off of my car. But, now I have drip streaks. I washed. I washed my car but it didn't remove them. Would a clay bar be the way to remove the streaks? Or am I just not applying enough pressure when washing my car?

Chemical guys clay kit video!!!!

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

You got it!

[@forgivemylaughter]

For me I have never needed to clay bar anywhere other than the doors. The doors is where the grime and little black hard dots of dirt appear. When you feel the paint if you feel that grit and rough surface it needs clay barring. Nowhere feels like to me other than the doors. Waste of a clay bar to use it on a spot that does t have that grime from debris and break dusty etc like the doors. I didn’t know circles caused that tho good tip. I’ll go back and forth from now on.

[@davidj.5896]

i did not understand what u said in the video at the end when u said wash then auto remover/ iron remover then clay??

[@unknownx9596]

Can I use the same soap I use to wash my car to clay bar, plus the chemical guys lubricant? Do I even need to use the Chemical guys lubricant if I'm using the car soap?

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Yes, you can use the same soap! How are you planning on using it, with a foam cannon or in a sprayer bottle? If you are using the soap in a sprayer bottle then you don’t need the other lubricant, if you are using a foam cannon but also have the other lubricant with you, I don’t see why it would hurt to use it and help you out but overall, no, you would not need it.

[@unknownx9596]

@@detailingbeyondlimits Yes, I'll be using a sprayer bottle. Thank you!

[@JoshDillon-lm3hw]

I have a new car coming an bought some ceramic coat I'm going to apply when I get it I saw they had several steps todo before ceramic coat do you think clay bar before hand is nessacry

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Hey Josh, a true ceramic coating is much more durable than any wax or paint sealant. It will also remain on the surface for usually a long time, so 9/10 times detailers or anyone coating a vehicle will go ahead and clay as necessary and paint correct/polish their paintwork as real coatings enhance the look of your cars paint. So depending on your vehicles condition I’d say see if any paint correction is required and at the very least I recommend you to clay bar the vehicle before applying a ceramic coating.

[@xmid9ightx196]

Would claybaring my hood with old bird poop stains on it fix it or make it better?

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

I wouldn’t say it would fix it but it could be the first step to removing it OR making it look better than how it currently may look. Ultimately if you want to get rid of the etching (depending on how long it has been sitting on the paint) you more than likely would have to get it polished with any sort of compound and I believe you could do it by hand, it’ll just require some elbow grease! Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@searshig192]

How much you charge it for this

[@AlexCruz-zf1qn]

I am considering purchasing the chemical guys wax bundle that you mentioned to begin my car detailing business. Do you think spending the 30$ is worth it ?

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

Hey Alex, I personally haven’t tried it but I will admit I was surprised when I saw everything it does bring, overall seems like a great kit. I’m sure it’ll be great for your first clay kit! Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@LilyWillow22]

What would’ve been real cool is to get one vehicle that really shows the difference

[@Moe-df2lu]

I have a white car and the sun is causing certain areas to turn yellow. What can I use on it? Thank u

[@detailingbeyondlimits]

I believe you may need to clay bar it and even have it polished out to get rid of the yellowing. The clay bar will remove any contaminates in the paint. The polish will bring the color back to life. Moving forward you want to ensure to apply some form of protection on to the paint whether it’s a wax, sealant or ceramic coating to protect the paint from the suns UV Rays.
