What the Fudge is a claybar?

Anybody care to enlighten me? Interested to know everybody seems to rave about them!

its a clay bar.......



you lube the surface (panel by panel) up with quick detailer then carefully drag the clay over it making sure you keep folding it for a clean edge. This removes industrial fallout and other deposits from the paintwork such as tar etc that wouldn't be removed through polishing leaving a glass like surface.

Removes anything stuck onto the surface of your paint that washing alone will not. Shears of anything that sits on the surface of your paintwork.

Most clay bars are made by the same company, all much of a muchness. As long as you avoid the aggressive bodyshop ones, get the best value ones you can find.

Yes, thats what it was saying on that last link i posted, that most are the same just different colours! But that one is not the usual clay. (Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay)

I would take it all with a pinch of salt, other companies such as sonus are selling ultra fine clay. All the ones I have tried all seem to do the same thing!

Aye, i bought mine a few days ago too

I replaced my bonnet with one from another J-reg clio. dont think it had ever had a wash in its life.

It was dull and felt almost like sandpaper... so rough.

An afternoon of claybaring it and now its nice and smooth and very shiney
