Clay barring is recommended every 4-6 months. It is recommended to be done with package 1 and 2 if your vehicle has not been previously clayed in the last 4 months.
A clay bar is used to remove surface contamination from your paint. Tree sap, rail dust, brake dust, industrial fall-out, tar, paint overspray, and many other contaminants are constantly attacking your paint. These contaminants embed themselves into your paint and normal polishing does not completely remove them. A good test is after washing and drying your vehicle place your hand in a plastic sandwich bag and gently rub your hand on the paint. If it feels gritty then your paint needs to be clayed. A clay bar will actually remove bonded contaminants from your paint and make it feel smooth as glass like it should. Clay can also be used on glass to remove the same contaminants that bond to your paint. |
