CLAY BAR 101
Drumzdj PM'd me for some advise on using a claybar so I thought I would share with everyone. Some people never used one before and it's extremely easy once you get the hang of it.
If used wrong...you will scratch the crap out of your vehicle so here we go
Clay Bar 101
First off...Do the following before you clay bar.
1. wash vehicle
2. Use a de tarring product on the vehicle.. Either a citrus based or maybe Kerosene with a little carwash soap mixed in...Like 1/2 oz to a quart spray bottle..
3. rewash to remove residue.
Next is claybar time
1. Cut your clay bar in half and put 1/2 in a ziplock bag. Claybars are a little pricey. If you accidentally drop your claybar in some dirt you didn't ruin the whole bar

2. Soak the other half in some warm water for a few minutes to make it more pliable.
3. Take a squirtbottle and fill it with water and add 1/2oz of carwash soap as a lubricant. Keep it in your left hand and have the hose handy.
4. Starting with the hood or the roof...Work on 1 section at a time by misting the area completely with the soap solution and begin feeling the hood with your finger tips....you should feel a tiny gritty feeling of particles that are stuck on. the soappy solution increases the sensitivity. Roll your claybar into a ball to begin. Start rubbing the hood with the clay bar in long smooth strokes using light pressure...Like your waxing it. Make sure the surface stays wet.
Try to work in straight lines from front to back...If it feels like the claybar is losing it's effectiveness... remould it in your hands and get a fresh side to it and it will be fine. Just the nature of the product.
5. Rinse and feel with your fingers again....Should be extremely smooth now.
6. Repeat on all sections of the truck.
STAY OFF ANYTHING THAT IS BLACK PLASTIC, TRIM MOULDINGS, MIRRORS....YOU GET IT.
When you're done completely rinsing...Dry it, Wax it...drink beer, Think of Skyboi.
Good Luck, I hope this helps and don't forget to give me feedback.
