spray the quick detailer on then go over it with the clay bar and wipe dry with microfiber cloth. Do sections at t time. Then throw some NXT on there omg looks like glass and feels so smooth.

I just finished washing, drying, claybaring (first time, ever doing this!) , waxing, and buffing my 08 BSP Tc. I had recently tinted the third brake light and side markers using the tint for RC cars and had a bit of overspray on a window and the rear panel. (I took as many precautions as I could, but the overspray was overwhelming =/ ) First hand, let me tell you that the claybar was AMAZING. I didn't even use the best claybar that everyone is recommending here, I bought the lower end Mother's claybar kit from walmart for a little under $15 . The paint looks smooth, shiny, and very debris-free.


If you're uncertain about how it works, look it up on youtube. You'll get a few tutorials that will help you out greatly.


Good luck on your car-washing endeavors.

1 box can be clay 3 to 4 cars. I keep dropping my clay bar. So i have a lot extra detail spray left..
I bought some purple clay bar on Ebay.

They are very cheap , 8 oz clay bar compare to MOther's 2.82 oz clay bar.
I only use 1/3 of that clay bar each time. They are little harder than Mother's clay bar at first. But after a little while it soak up some detail spray. It is soft and works almost good as Mother's clay bar.

I've been wanting to clay bar my car but I have been wondering if you can clay bar your car too many times. Like will it damage the paint if done too often cuz off do I'll just wait till I accumulate more imperfections.

Clay bar your car too much? you kidding I do it every 2 weeks, and my paint is spectacular.
