What is a Clay Bar and why do I need the process?

0

A clay bar is just that, a pliable piece of clay used to remove bonded contaminants that work their way into your cars clear coat over time. Common contaminants include paint overspray, industrial fallout, rail dust, brake dust, pollution, tar, and bird droppings. The contaminants bond to your cars paint and can lead to premature clear coat failure if not removed. Normal washing cannot remove what a clay bar process can. After you wash your car run your hand over your paint, if it doesn’t feel like smooth glass, it’s time for a clay bar. The reason that the clay bar is included in many of my packages is simple: waxing or sealing a car that hasn’t been clay barred will not suffice, because you don’t want to seal in all the contaminants on your car. This step is also vital before the polishing sessions begin.
