It takes all the bonded contaminants out of the paint, so when you polish, you get a better finish  :happy2:

stealthwolf:
For tar, you're better off using a tar remover since a clay bar will just push it around.

As above, divide the bar into 2-3 pieces. I use a piece once for bodywork and depending on how it looks, either chuck it or save it for bits like the wheels.

You shouldn't need to clay more than twice a year.

Horatio:
works good on glass as well  :happy2:

Tortaruga:
Is it ok to clay the diamond cut face of monza alloys?

Scottymon:
Should be fine, but what I would suggest is to run your hand softly over the the alloys before hand to see if there are any areas that have a slight nick to the lacquer... then avoid those directly with the clay bar, as you know once the lacquer has been chipped / removed the white worm process will begin :(
