Claybar
 
I know you told me how to do this at CSF Jesse, but I forgot :o haha..

Ive never done it, so I just want some advice/step by step on how to claybar, or whats worked for you guys.

Also, where do you pick them up from?

Im hoping we get one last nice weekend so I can wash and wax and claybar the maro before I store it. I wanna detail her out cause I havent done a full cleaning in a long time..

ive used them before. i had 3 different stages and it turned out awesome!

i got mine at Allstate Peterbilt (semi truck company)

when i used them i used a huge grinder with a soft pad on it. you have to be VERY careful not to stay in one spot for too long.

i know you were looking for specific advice on your car but hope it helps

good luck paar

You sure youre talking about the same thing? Im talking about a bar of clay that you rub onto your car with some kind of lubricant that fills in all the uneven surfaces.

Yeah that too.

well i have these bars that feel like clay. they are like 8" long and chalky kinka. i clamped them into a vice and ran the buffer on it to get the stuff on the pad. then went to the car/truck and buffed on it.

sorry if im not talking about what your looking for. ive never used a name for those. i just go in a pick em up.

Anyone?

archemedes 10-30-2006 01:22 AM

most clay bars come with the fluid (don't buy the mothers it sucks ***) and read the directions it's hard to screw it up as long as you keep the surface wet, and kneading the clay

paarman97maro 10-30-2006 01:24 AM

where do you get them from?

archemedes 10-30-2006 01:32 AM

autozone, wal mart, anywhere that sells car wash soap or wax

paarman97maro 10-30-2006 01:36 AM

I never see them at wal mart to advance or anything. I figured you had to pick them up online.

archemedes 10-30-2006 01:36 AM

I bought mine at advance last year

paarman97maro 10-30-2006 01:38 AM
