anyone tried using claybar on their car
TDIfurby:
Claying is a bit like putting undercoat on a wooden frame, etc, before gloss. If you want the best finish, without undercoat, there's no point in trying to polish a car without clay bar'ing first. As an example, the two shots below are AFTER claybar has been used, and the 2nd after rotary polishing. It was the ultra smooth, decontaminated finished left after claying which made the polished finish so nice. :happy2:
Bonnet clayed but not touched with polisher (paint feels totally smooth once clayed which is nice in it's own way!)
After polishing treatment.
JPC:
just for clarity, claying doesn't lay anything down, it merely takes off bonded contaminants.

I admit my analogy was not the best. :ashamed: But OK, try this one. I repainted a garage door at the weekend for my Dad, metal one - And I sanded it down/scraped it, before applying some gloss, not just slapped it on top. Now, I wouldn't take sandpaper to a car, but claying does give the most thorough "clean" imaginable. :congrats:
