clay bar

I was looking to buy a clay bar today. I stopped at Pep boys and Autozone but neither had just the claybar. Any ideas on where to go to buy one? Thanks

Re: clay bar

I heard you can call an auto detailer and ask if you can buy one from them or try http://www.properautocare.com/.

Re: clay bar

thanks eldy. I ended up going to kragen and convincing the lady there to just let me take a clay bar without having to buy that damn package from mothers that comes with the wax and spray which i already have.

Re: clay bar

for this instance, claying purpose, it's fine. dawn or dishsoap "strips" off any residual wax you already may have on your car.

but, after your car's completely protected with whatever wax or polish you decide to use, use carwash soap. I use meguiars gold class.

Re: clay bar

clay bar picks up the tiny particles that are stuck to your paint, that washing doesnt get rid of.
