Clay Bars
Well, it's that time again to start using the ole clay bar now that the weather is nice. I pulled out my Wolfgang bar from last year and it turned to mush.... I ended up chunking it. Anyone have any experience with clay bars? What is the best to get?
Needless to say, I don't think I'll be going back with the Wolfgang bar....[]

i have had mine for about three years now. but i only use it on teh wheels now.
btu have put it in a sandwitch bag and also i have left it in the out side shed where it was nice and cold so the first time i had to use it it was real stiff and hard to work but eventually went to normal again.
wheels look good as new now and also the rest of the car is looking ok as i havent got to it yet.
between rain drops but will shortly it needs it bad!!!!!

Hey guys I had an old car (89 Mercury Cougar) so I didn't really spend much time taking good care of the outside as it was already in bad shape. But I will keep my 05 looking as nice as possible. I went to autogeek and read about claybars, but if you guys could tell me your opinions and that stuff would be awesome that way when I do clean my car I want to do whats best for it. Anything would be great thanks.

If you have a pretty clean looking paint surface now clay bars will pull out the dirt you don’t see that is slowly etching its way to the metal... I was shocked to see what was left behind after a good washing. If you have water spots or a dingy clear coat I would suggest rubbing compound and a good buffer before trying the clay bar...
I've heard others say good things about Clay Magic, any preferences Rich?

As for clay bar, none of the one's I've used has proven to be any easier to use or produce any drastically better results, so I'd say get whatever is readily available. And if you don't want to waste your quik detailer when claying the car, use a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water
