Smooth Your Rough Paint

If your paint feels rough after washing it, then you need to clay. Paint doesn’t just get dirty- sharp environmental contaminants and pollutants can penetrate your clear coat, making them bond with the surface and impossible to get out with just a wash. If left unchecked, these contaminants can ruin the shine of your car, scratch the surface, and cause the paint to oxidize, tarnish, and peel. The Chemical Guys Complete Clay System contains the chemicals and accessories you need to safely clean, decontaminate, and protect your paint in one easy kit! It’s the only way to pull out embedded contaminants and turn rough feeling paintwork to a glass-like smooth surface.

Removes Embedded Surface Contaminants

The Clay Bar is like a spa day for your car! First, start fresh with Clean Slate, the super powerful car wash soap that easily strips away old wax, sealant, and glaze and perfectly preps the surface for the next step. When glided over the surface, the Clay Bar pulls out any embedded pollution, fallout, rail dust, brake dust, overspray, and stubborn contamination from your paint, glass, and metal. The Chemical Guys Complete Clay System makes it easy to do it right – Clay Luber lays down a coat of slick lubrication between the clay bar and your paintwork to help your clay bar glide and slide without getting stuck or marring the surface.

The Next Level Of Shine & Protection

The Complete Clay System doesn’t just stop there- it also includes what you need to add durable protection to your car to help prevent future contamination, add incredible water beading properties, and add even more shine! Butter Wet Wax is the fast, fun, and easy way to make your paint shine with the vibrant magic and deep wet gloss of carnauba, while offering great protection against the elements. Claying your car before applying protection like Butter Wet Wax ensures that your coating sticks better and lasts longer. The Complete Clay System also contains the extra soft premium microfiber towel and applicator you need to apply the products, making cleaning, decontaminating, protecting, and shining your car fast, easy, and convenient!

PRO TIP – MORE THINGS YOU CAN CLAY

DON’T STOP AT YOUR PAINT- DECONTAMINATE THE REST OF YOUR RIDE TOO!

After claying your paint, don’t forget your glass, glossy wheels, and shiny clear plastic like headlights and taillights too. These surfaces also trap contaminants and claying will not only help clarity and shine, but will help your coatings stick better and last longer too!

Autopia clay bar is a fine, white, 200g, which will remove any contamination that is left on your paintwork after cleaning. This easy to use bar will remove ingrained dirt without marring.

Directions

Prepare your vehicle by thoroughly cleaning all surfaces you wish to clean. Break the Autopia Bar into four manageable 50g pieces. Generously apply a lubricant of your choice onto the surface. Using a gentle back and forth motion, rub the bar on the surface of your vehicle. Regularly check the bar for progress and fold it to reveal a new clean surface to work with. Continue these processes until all surfaces are smooth to the touch or no contamination is visible on the bar.

Place back in the plastic storage box for future use.

Detailing Tips:

The warmer the bar, the easier to mould, use your hands to warm it up first.

Once you have used your bar, don’t throw it away, you can downgrade it first to other parts of your vehicle such as wheels or glass.

Auto Express Magazine, a giant in the car magazine world, has awarded auto-clay with their Best Clay Bar award every year for the last 5! Also they compared the clay-cloths to clay-bars in one recent test, where they concluded that bars were better, and that auto-clay was the pick of the bunch once again!

So which clay-bar do you need?

The choice between the auto-clay bars will depend on several factors:

Regular – If the vehicle is heavily contaminated, has never been clay-barred before, or it’s hot summertime then use Regular. All clay bars become firmer when cold and softer when warm.

Medium – For paintwork that is in a reasonable condition, Medium will be preferred.

The easier folding of the clay to expose a fresh working surface will be very beneficial.

Soft – If paint is in good condition, if you like to clay your vehicle frequently or indeed if the weather is cold, then use Soft.

Why use a clay-bar?

Assess the degree of embedded metallic and brake dust debris that has entered the surface of your paint film by gently rubbing the paint with fingertips.

Feel for the grittiness that these damaging particles impart to paint films.

Using Bilt-Hamber Clay-Bars – regular, medium or soft – you will effortlessly remove particles, leaving the paint glass-smooth. Discolouring road film will also be gently lifted.

Claying will make a world of difference when lubricated with plenty of water and hardly any pressure. The bar glides like an ice hockey puck, and is pleasant and satisfying to use.

Not only does the paint feel and look a lot better once clayed, but the removal of these objects sticking to the surface allows the next stages of paint care to progress far more smoothly. As now cleansers, waxes and polishes glide across the surface far more easily.

It is highly recommended that before using a clay bar the paint is pre-treated with korrosol.

This high activity cleaner actively removes embedded metallic particles in a simply spray on rinse off action.

By removing these particles before the clay-bar is used, the bar will last longer and concentrate its action on the remaining contamination.

Quick Guide
Run your fingers over your freshly washed and dried paint work. Feel for a rough, gritty texture? This is caused by embedded particles. Bonnets are often the most contaminated.

If you can feel these particles atomise a fine mist of clean tap water over a 2-3 square feet area, using a plant mister or suitable spray.

Glide the auto-clay over the wet surface, properly lubricated clay will move effortlessly just like an ice hockey puck on ice.

You may well hear the contamination at first, this will quickly reduce as you move the bar back-and-forth. Keep the bar moving until the noise has gone

Check again with your finger tips to check that all the contamination was removed.

Once your car’s paint is glass smooth – and it really will be – use auto-balm, cleanser-polish, finis-wax, hydra-wax or micro-fine to seal the pores and provide a deep gloss shine.

How To Use
Before using auto-clay thoroughly wash your car to remove any loose dirt. Direct sunlight should not fall on your car’s surface, and it’s best if the work area is relatively cool, but not cold.

To use auto-clay spray water with a plant mister on a small area of your car and rub the bar back and forth with light pressure. auto-clay should glide across your paint, keep the paint surface wetted thoroughly. auto-clay must not be used dry. Listen carefully – at first you will hear the bar as it pulls the particles away from the paint, the noise and friction will disappear quickly.

After a few passes with auto-clay, rub your fingers over the area to feel if the surface contamination was removed. Keep rubbing until all contamination is gone. Finally, wipe the clay residue off with a soft terrycloth towel. Just like waxing, work in small areas.

What you should see coming off of the car and depositing itself on the clay bar is a reddish brown residue, this is what you want to see. As the clay bar becomes soiled, simply fold it over squash it out and keep going. Under no circumstances should the clay bar be used if dropped on the ground, inside or out! The clay bar is good for about 4 or 5 cleans on the average sized car. Once the paint is clean, wax your car immediately.
