Importance of using a CLAY BAR in detailing

What is a clay bar & why would you use one?


An automotive clay bar is made of a synthetic polymer that is often elastic in nature. The elasticity of a clay bar allows you to mold the clay into a usable shape. It also allows you to kneed the clay to expose a fresh clay surface.  A clay bar is used in combination with a clay bar lubricant.  The lubricant is used to provide a slick surface that the clay glides over.  Many quick detailers work as clay bar lubricants, but some work better than others.  The action of gliding the clay over a surface will pick up embedded contamination or wear it down so the surface is as smooth as glass.
