Remove the bonded contaminants a wash leaves behind, so your paint feels glass smooth and takes wax or coating properly.
Even a clean car often has contaminants bonded to the paint, industrial fallout, rail dust, tar specks, and overspray that washing can't remove. You can feel them as roughness when you run your hand over the paint. A clay bar glides across a lubricated surface and pulls those contaminants off, leaving the paint perfectly smooth.
Claying is essential prep before waxing, polishing, or ceramic coating, protection bonds far better to decontaminated paint. It's included in our premium detail.
Wash your car, then run your hand over the paint through a plastic sandwich bag. If it feels rough or bumpy, that's bonded contamination, and it's exactly what claying removes. Smooth paint isn't just nicer to touch; it's the only surface wax and coatings bond to properly.
It removes bonded surface contaminants, fallout, tar, overspray, that washing leaves behind, making the paint glass smooth and ready for wax or coating.
If the paint feels rough after washing, yes. It's also standard prep before any wax, polish, or ceramic coating for the best bond.
