Clay bar and cleaning clay
Cleaning clay, often in the form of clay bar, is an important step for properly cleaning your car. Clay bar is typically used before polishing, waxing or sealing. The cleaning clay removes small particles of dirt and dust stuck to the car’s paintwork, such as pollen, surface rust, brake dust or asphalt stains.
With a clay bar you get a shiny, dirt-repellent surface and the Paint will be as shiny as when the car was new.
