TEST

Also called “quick clay” in the UK, Removes contaminates from the surface of your paint, and leaves it smooth to the touch. It prepares a nice clean surface for the rest of the cleaning process. The claybar may remove very minor swirl marks, but basically prepares the surface for more thorough work. Claybars don’t do any damage to any paint or clearcoat, they simply remove contaminates.

There are different grades of clay bars, graded by color. Blue clay bars from Clay Magic, are fine grade, they work well on black and dark color cars such as red, green, blue. Red clay bars are more course and should only be used on light color cars such as white, tan, silver. Using the wrong clay bar may cause swirls so be careful.

Most brands are very similar, some come in kits. Good choices are Meguiars Quik Clay or Mothers Clay Bar Kit from AutoZone or PepBoys for around $17. You’ll probably need to look around, as most workers seem not to have heard of a claybar. The kit comes with the claybar (good for three MR2s), detailing spray, and some carnauba wax.
