Maintaining your car's paint finish is important to preserve both its look and value. Yet, it takes more than just an occasional wash and wax to keep your paint looking its best.

Over time, your paint will become contaminated with pollutants like road grime, tree sap, dust, bird droppings, and more. This can create a dull, faded appearance that's difficult (or even impossible) to clean away with conventional methods. Fortunately, there's an effective solution to remove these contaminants and restore your paint's original luster – clay bar treatment.

A clay bar treatment is when a detailing clay is used to remove contaminants (such as those mentioned above) from your paint's surface. The clay bar itself is a soft, malleable substance that can pick up these particles without damaging your paint. Once the contaminants have been removed, a protective wax or polish can be applied to prevent further damage.

How Does a Clay Bar Treatment Works?

  • Clean your car to remove surface debris before starting the clay bar treatment. A good wash and drying are usually sufficient for this step.
  • Remove the clay bar from its packaging and divide it into smaller, manageable pieces.
  • Mold the clay bar into a small, flat disc shape.
  • Spray a generous amount of clay lubricant or detailer spray onto the paint section you'll be working on. This step is essential – the clay bar will stick to your paint without lubrication, which could cause damage.
  • Lightly rub the clay bar over the lubricated or spayed paint surface in a back-and-forth motion.
