Review on Chemical Guys CLY_402 Medium Clay Bar by Brett Jarvis

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Car Care Starter Kit

Chemical Guys offers a wide range of high quality, affordable products. I especially like their wax and microfiber towels. I bought this set to get a feel for their clay bars and was very impressed. The included clay stick is a good size and actually survived the greasing. As advertised, this is a light tone bar; If your car is heavily soiled, I would suggest switching to the gray stripe. If you're new to clay fencing, here are some quick tips: 1. Rinse > Dry > Clay > Rinse > Dry > Wax Of course you can mix clay and wax or polish, but these are absolutely necessary steps. Before removing the clay, put your hand in a new ziplock bag (or another brand of storage bag you have) and slowly run it across the surface of the car. This will improve your sense of touch and give you an idea of where to focus your time. Usually the front of the car is the most dirty.3. Spray a piece of candy bar with some lube to make it more comfortable and shape into a 1.5- to 2-inch diameter cake. Spray the lube on each stain before applying the clay and spray again when the clay starts to stick. Overwork the cake more often so as not to scratch the varnish with accumulated dirt. If you drop a patty on the floor, throw it away. WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS.
