thanks!
I just bought a bunch of those cobra microfiber towels- so much better than the thin crap i have been buying from the auto stores around here!
Just a thought i had while watching all these videos on using clay bars if it does remove contaminants an imperfections on paint could you use it on windscreens to the same affect ??
can you clay bar over paint chips (places without paint)? or would that remove the paint
can i just use water as lubricant??
@autogeek wtf? polish first then clay, why do u clay then if the paint is free of oxidation??
* like a car wash with soap?
After claying and wiping away the extra lubricant should you wash the car (an actual car wash not just washing with a dry or damp cloth) before waxing?
I have a quick question, are you suppose to rinse your car after you clay it to get the extra lubrication off? Or just dry it off?
@Aznpkerboy If you want swirls gone completely you have to wet sand the paint . Anything else will just pretty much conceal swirls.
@Aznpkerboy
Do I know how to remove swirls? Why yes, check out the new swirl removal videos on this Autogeek YouTube channel.

As you see the clay bar load up with contaminants, throw it away and start using a new, fresh piece of clay. Use common sense and you’ll be okay.

@l0stpuppy
Yes.
If the paint has a lot of oxidation then some people would use a paint cleaner or polish first to remove the dead paint and then clay the paint. This will keep dead oxidized paint from loading up into the clay bar.

Can you clay bar a car that doesn’t have a clear coat on it?
@13b1cdw8g
Yes but claying will tend to remove some of the wax off the surface depending upon how aggressive the clay is so it’s a good idea to re-wax after claying.
-Mike Phillips
what if you’ve already waxed will it still work?
@dacksoldier
That’s one way to do it but I’ve never done it that way, instead I make a clay patty, use it over the entire car and re-knead it as needed to prevent scratching. Throw this clay away as it becomes loaded with contaminants.
Claying is simple, you can make it as complicated as you like or keep it as simple as you like, personal preference. We actually have a brand new video on claying that you can find in our most recent video list on our Autogeek YouTube Channel.

do clay bar has life span and for how long can the clay bar be useful? is it after polishing the hood, do I need to use another clay bar? thanks. looking forward for your response and here’s my email if ever you want me to answer through email. Thanks.
about to go do this to my truck!!!
okay, so basically..
1. Wash Car
2. Dry Car with microfiber towels
3. Clay car (using clay lubricant)
4. Wipe off excess lubricant with clean cloth
5. Begin waxing/polishing?
Then you’re set? Do you know how to get rid of swirls?
Every time I do the side of my truck I drop the damn clay bar. I will try one of those clay applicator things
now I’ve watched numerous videos on claying cars and read alot, and one I read was to cut the clay into equal pieces for each area of the car like 2 for the hood 1 for each fender, door, rear qtr panel trunk roof etc. and discarding each piece once each section is finished completely. i feel like this is a safer method and will make it so you don’t need to re knead the clay to a clean surface and have a clean clay to start with each section.
@autogeek but should I apply polish and wax? And in what order after the clay-bar? wash, clay-bar, polish and wax. Or wash, clay-bar, wax and then polish? Thanks!

Yes, after you using detailing clay on the paint at a minum you need to apply a wax or paint sealant to protect the paint.
uh..uh..uh.uhh
Well a new paintjob on a camaro is not perfect so buffing a new car is not a bad idea
