Got my clay bar

[Flame172]

silly question but whats the easiest way to apply this thing to my car?

 

[riz]

wash car, then dry it, and get either soapy water or a synth detailer to do it with dont do it dry and cheack bar every 2/3 strokes to remove any big particles

 

[Flame172]

how long do you leave it on for?

 

[Justin]

you dont need to leave it on mate, you just sort of rub it back and forth over the lubricated area and it will pick up the tar etc..

 

[alexbleubolt]

sounds pants,

 

[Flame172]

ah right cool, so just over the shitty areas where the tar is? (not the whole car)

 

[riz]

do whole care and it will be smooth

 

[Flame172]

this could be a long days work i think

It sounds harder to use than it is.. I did mine and my boyfriends car.. first time I had used clay (got meguires from Halfords) didnt take long at all.. if you use qd as a lubricant you can wipe the excess off the car afterwards. if you use car shampoo and water then you will have to wash the car again after.

i used to use quick detailer when i used clay, but having run out i opted to use nxt tech shampoo diluted strongly into a spray bottle. imo works much better than the quick detailer and is a damn sight cheaper in the long run.

Agree.. quick detailer costs a fortune

Means you can clay the car without drying it first aswell, I find wash, rinse, claying with soap and water, another quick rinse and then drying, much faster than wash, dry, clay with QD and then clean up all the streaks etc left behind.

 

[Ads_172]

I'm a shampoo fan as well, save the QD for when it's needed to actually Quick Detail...

Think I might give my car a claying on Monday, I clean it but always run out of time before finishing, so the finish never lasts long. 2 days of to give it some proper love!

Its sooo much hard work claying when its cold lol having to keep on warming it up etc lol

 

[Ads_172]

Just keep a bucket of warm water beside you and dunk it in there every 5 minutes.

 

[Rich]

Bang in in the microwave first works well.

Hate claying at this time of the year tho. Spring job for me.

 

[Flame172]

well what a nightmare that clay bar was, wont try that again in this weather. Just waxed it instead

 

[V1NNY]

Clays awsome but hard work in the cold lol
