There is two ways to use detailing clay
Here is the first way.
To prepare the clay, break the bar into two or three smaller pieces.
Then flatten one piece into a small pancake.(keep the other pieces as a back up if the first piece becomes to contaminated)
Use the detailing clay lube that comes with the clay. Work one small 3’x3’ area keeping the paint saturated with the lube. If you feel the lube not gliding easily, spray more lubricant.
With the paint lubed, rub the clay with “slight” pressure. You will feel the clay grabbing the contaminants as it may feel like you are rubbing over “sand” Keep rubbing until the paint feels smooth as glass. Now once each section has been clayed, wipe the lube off with a micro fiber towel.
The second way to use detailing clay is to use car shampoo.
Simply mix up a bucket of car wash and wash the car as you normally would.
Now go back and re-apply the soapy water and take a piece of clay and rub over the soapy water. Once the paint feels smooth, simply rinse the soap off with water. Now move onto the next section.
. I find using the car shampoo method easier.
