ive searched and tried to find out if clay barring is like waxing, in that do u have to do it in a shaded area or does it not matter? its unclear as to how it should b done
Definitely do not do it in hot, direct sunlight. If you do you will need a lot more lubricant to keep the clay from sticking to the paint.
Good luck and ***** up the before/after pix.

Nothing at all like waxing. Claybar is used to remove contaminates from the surface of the paint normal washing doesn't get

Actually, thats one thing I havent done to the new Bonny, Im thinking, Wash, clay, polish and wax. That will make it shine like no other!
I think I am missing something with the clay bar (I have the Mothers (I think) kit)...it ends up just making me mad and not doing a whole lot. I know from the way you guys talk that it should be working better then it does. Any thoughts?
