How to PROPERLY Clay Bar Your Car! Professional DIY

Auto detailing clay is the detailer's best tool to ensure you get smooth as glass paint. If your car feels rough even feels like sandpaper, chances are your paint has tons of baked-on contaminates and dirt which has built up over time.
In this video, I show you how to properly clay bar your car using the Chemical Guys Clay Bars to pull embedded contaminants from paintwork, giving you a perfectly smooth finish where you can add wax, polish your paint or add a ceramic coating.

[@Blessed.2.Teach.4God]

Small Suggestion: I clay all the nicer, more important areas first (hood roof doors etc) ...and then I continue on to progressively dirtier & less important parts of the car (low bumper, rockers, etc) ...this way, if the bar does get contaminated from such "high traffic" areas you won't be going straight to your hood next. Even with folding the bar, just seems much safer & fail proof this way... So I thought I'd share - Take care.

@@carswithsonduren Visual dirt - definitely some but not a lot. But the before/after difference in fingertip feel is huge. So a lot of hard to see 'nubs' definitely came off. Followed up with Meguires Ultimate. This is a 2020 Mini Countryman S All4, picked up new in Dec 2020 and it barely has 5K km on it. So it hasn't seen a lot of road time but it's been exposed to weather since it arrived in Canada in Jan 2020. I'm glad we did it. Next consideration is possibly ceramic coating, which I'm just learning about.

[@jerryhermann7233]

Do this when you do. Feel the paint after washing. Then after claying it. Then after waxing it. Preferably do the hood. 1" painters tapeafter wash. Blue or green doesent matter. You need 3 sections to tape off. Cover the after wash section. Now clay the next section. Cover it and then wax the last section. Un cover the hood. Now feel the diffrnce. Washed, clayed, waxed will be smother than a babys bittom. So i say the effort is worth the elbo greese.

Claying your paint, no matter how much lubrication you use, will always mar or scratch your paint to some degree. How noticeable it is will depend on the color of your paint. The darker the paint, the more you will notice. I never clay a vehicle unless I plan on machine polishing.

Switching out my drying towel about every different area ( top is one towel . sides are one towel and the hood and trunk one towel.) I do do another light wash after the clay bar...even without finishing the wax and polish ..the water is already beading down the panels.It does take about 5 hours to do it this way... but its worth it...used to take me a weekend on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis..

Great video and lots of excellent advice - although I would typically follow a clay bar with a polish - even a one step polish/sealant primarily because even with the lightest touch and lots of lubricant the clay bar will always put some tiny, tiny scratches down (unless your clearcoat is super hard). I'm just a weekend DIY-er but I've gotten great results with a clay bar followed by a one step from places like Chemical Guys or Griot's and an inexpensive DA polisher and a soft-ish pad.

Do not do that you do not want any cold water or water touching the wax or sealant after you apply it. Ideally 72 hours with no water touching it so it fully cures.

Great job! I’ve always been very interested in the clay bar process. That said, can you clay bar a clear bra on the front end or do I avoid it? #2, I have a white truck that seems to attract little bits of tar flecks. I was considering washing the truck, pulling it inside and going over it with a soft rag dampened with odorless mineral spirits to remove the contaminants, then back outside to rewash it with a good soap, after rinsing it thoroughly move it back inside to clay bar it. Then rewash and apply a protective wax. I just wondered your thoughts on this. Thank you!

Great video and the first I’ve seen on using a clay bar to clean the paints clear coat. A quick question for you, what type of soap and what proportion do you use to make the soapy water solution?

[@carswithsonduren]

Any car shampoo works 8 parts water 1 part soap.

Very nice! will a clay bar work on the glass as well? just for cleaning purposes?

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes it will John :)

[@lindsayfraser4791]

A great video. So after clay baring do you then wash the car again. Should you use a chamois?? If not what is the best way to dry it before polishing.

[@carswithsonduren]

Yes that is correct. Dry with a waffle weave microfibre towel :)

[@Manosh0]

Great video. How do you suggest cleaning the clay bar after usage?

[@carswithsonduren]

Once it’s used it’s thrown in the trash and thank you 🙏
