Why did I think I could clay bar my car in one weekend?


Recommended Posts

Using Meguire's clay bar kit an even though I have a really good idea at what I'm doing, in my head it was way way easier than this. So far I have my hood done. It looks great, but there has to be an easier way. Any tips?

Thanks for the vid Juiced! I must have missed the part where you can use regular soapy water as your claybar lube on the Meguiar's website. That def looked easier and will save me from having to share my beer with mosquitos again

unless your fully detailing, it should take just a few hours.

Wash car with Dawn soap

Clay

Wax

Drink more beer.

I like using detail spray as lube for the clay bar. You can find a detail supply place and buy a gallon of detail spray for like $15.

I used to work at a body shop, we used detail spray as lube for clay bar just don't let it dry in the sun. Do it in a garage if possible. I guess soapy water might work too, never tried it.
