Clay Bar 

Clay Bar - What it is, what it does

So, just what is a clay bar?

Well, it feels like a bit like playdough and has a putty-like consistency, which works to pick up any contaminants on a paint’s surface, and it's used in conjunction with a good lubricant made to use with it.

Once you’ve gone clay bar you’ll never go back.  Or so they say!

Clay barring your paint will massively improve on the surface’s finish and feel.  A car will collect tar from the road, as well as air and water pollutants, unless of course you have a show car that’s generally stored in an air-tight container, which, oddly, most of us don’t!  Most of this filth starts pretty fine but builds up over time and sometimes you can’t even see it but we can guarantee if left it’ll start to eat away at your paint, or at the very least oxidize through any protection.  A good wash won’t be enough to completely cleanse your paintwork before applying any protection, so a clay barring is a must before any wax or sealants or other chosen protection is used.

Basically, even though you think you’ve taken good care of your car with thorough washes through car wash systems, or then giving the body a thorough clean using the best shampoos and mitts yourself (or paid a great detailer like us to do it for you!), as soon as you even do one panel using a clay bar it’s filthy!  And we’re not over exaggerating, either, especially if it’s something new for you and your car.  If you’d been clay-barring your car regularly, then that’s a different matter, as you’re keeping on top of the tar and other contamination that is out there on our roadways.

Now, we’ve been raving about how clay bars pull contamination from a paint’s surface but we haven’t told you the best part… it does ZERO damage to your paintwork!  It sounds like an abrasive procedure, but it’s really very gentle, and as long as you seal it well following the clay bar treatment your car will be in another league.

Following a good full buff-off with a quality microfiber cloth, you’re ready to polish, wax or seal your paint.  This stage is especially important.  As its likely taken hours clay barring all of the contamination from your paint, don’t undo all that hard work by not protecting your efforts.

Once you’ve clay barred and protected your paintwork, you should only need to do it twice a year – once before winter and once after.  Obviously, you’re welcome to do it more often.  This is simply the minimum required.  

Before winter is important because of the harsh weather your vehicle encounters, and after winter is equally important because of the crap we come across on our roads through the winter months - salt, grime, brake-dust, tar and so forth.

Clay Bar Treatment has become a go-to method in our Exterior Paint Detail.  It's one of those special steps that gives your car an amazing look as well as much needed protection.

What Our Clients Are Saying

" If you need your car detailed, this is the service to use. I spilled a very full milk based protein drink ALL over and inside of my console and front seat. When DaNae finished my car it looked better than the day I purchased it new off the dealers lot. She also accommodated my schedule by changing hers. She was a life saver as it was a warm day when this milky mess happened.
America truly would be great again, if all businesses were run the way DaNae runs hers.
Thank you so much DaNae. "

"Best car detail service in town!!  I have two little girls who have made my backseats look horrible!  I didn't think the stains would ever come out!  Then I got in contact with ABC detail.  Danae was amazing and assured me that she could help.  I couldn't believe my eyes when she showed me the end result!  It looked as if I just drove my car off the lot.  Thank you so very much!  I love driving in my car again!!  Much love!"
