Clay Bar is exactly that. A Clay Bar. You use it to get little impurities out of your paint. The key is to use on a clean car. Make sure you keep the clay bar lubricated while using and wash again when finished. Be sure to wax!!! For the minute scratch marks you might try Meguiars ScratchX and then wax after. You will literally feel the difference on your paint when you slide a rag across it!!!

OK now I'm currious. I'm another with no experience with a clay bar. In fact I only recently heard of such a thing. Where do you find them and how much do they cost? I assume they are resuable as long as they are kept clean?

You are the man!!!! I went and got Maguires clay bar today, I did about 3/4 of the car, did as you told me, then waxed with NXT, WOW. So smooth, and lots of the fine scrathes are barely noticable. Sooo!! what, once a year with the clay? Thanks..and I thought it looked good before!! Todd (Uma)

Thanks guys and gals, The clay is not something that I need to do all the time, but out here in so cal with all the smog, etc. a very good idea. It costs $15 to $25, no big deal. I told myself that this could not possibly make my car look better because I have waxed twice in the past three weeks, but you will be amazed. Thanks all, Todd (Uma)
