In one video? My task is... '08 Saab, prior waxing is just starting to come off. So I need to wash the surface which includes stripping all prior product to prepare it for I assume, clay-ing, then moving on to a wax phase to lock everything down. Do I have that somewhat right?

You can use it, but the problem with an aggressive clay bar is that it leaves marring on the paint finish, this usually looks like a haze over the paint, to remove that you need to polish it out with something like V36 or V38. If the clear is on the harder side then you might get away with using the aggressive clay bar, and skipping the polishing step since there’s no marring, but you won’t know until you try it.

Can the car be wet and still use the clay lube?

Hey! We recommend removing a majority of water drops before using the clay bar. It isn't necessary for the vehicle to be 100% dry.

So they are building houses across the street from me and the morons decided to paint on a windy day now I have a very fine white paint over spray on my black car. I used a fine grade clay bar to remove it from my windows but it was quite the workout and it is not feasible to do this to the whole car. You really can't see the over-spray unless you are like a foot away from the paint, but I still need to remove it. Do you guys suggest a medium grade clay or a aggressive grade clay so that i don't kill my arm removing it? I will be doing a machine polish with a light finishing polish after claying.

Hey Matthew! Absolutely, a Medium Duty Clay Bar with plenty of Clay Luber will extract stubborn contamination. As long as it is used properly there is no need to polish afterwards.

Hi there! After washing the vehicle inspect the paint to determine which clay bar is best suited for the job. A Light Clay Bar is best for new or routinely detailed vehicles. An OG Bar works for light to moderate contamination. Use a Medium Bar for moderate to heavy contamination as well as over spray and finally if the surface still feels rough or contamination is visible, use a Heavy Duty Clay Bar.

Hi there! One clay bar can be used to decontaminate several vehicles. The bar absorbs debris as you knead and roll it into a fresh side. Simply wipe away spent Clay Luber.
