Just used clay for the first time
 

Hi guys,

Thought i would give my new pride and joy a proper clean today. I decided to use Autoglym clay for the first time and I am more than impressed.

I washed he car first then started to use the ag clay with the detailer provided. I then polished my car with two coats of super resin polish and one coat of high dev wax.

Really happy with the results. Will try and take some pics in the morning.

clay is very good for decontaminating and leaves a amazingly smooth surface ready for the polish and wax

well in fella you be hooked soon and out every weekend

Once the bug bites, yo will find yourself with a garage full of products to cover every eventuality and surface of your car.

how hard is it to use a claybar? never done it before any tips / advice / pointers?

So easy wash car and rinse then spray lube sold with clay, or you can mix a strong solution of your car shampoo with water into a spray bottle. Spray the car and rub the clay over the bodywork using plenty of lube :thumb:

Yeah, keep the paint lubed so the clay glides through it, it wil mar the paint if it gets stuck. Not the end of the world though, and usually happens when you are rushing.

Did mine for the first time a couple of weeks ago and followed this guide

Do you have to dry the car off first after washing to apply the clay bar, or can u use claybar on a wet car??

idealy you need 2wash your car 1st,dry then use clay with a lub
and when your finished wash again

Wow sounds like a lot of work. How long did it take from start to finish???

Reading this thread with interest, gathered the below products and having a first go at clay-bar this weekend..
