How to use a clay bar like Paul Dalton

It sounds strange but using a special clay bar on the paintwork will remove stubborn contaminants and reveal a super smooth, glassy finish ready for waxing.

can i use soap with water in a spray bottle as lube?

[3MCarCare]

@vtec2907 Yes, the car wash soap in a spray bottle would work ok. Just make sure the dilution is such that you get good lubrication and easy glide over the surface.

show the area of the car you want to clay bar.......spray the crap out the car.......show the dirty clay bar.......title the video "how to use a clay bar....?" EPIC FAIL. Maybe one nano second of actual clay bar footage.

@vtec2907 There are many ways to lube the clay; even soap and water work well. I tried the DoDo Juice Born Slippery Lube. A little bottle goes a long way. Once you use it, you won't use anything else. Cheers.

are you supposed to use that small clay bar for the whole car? if so wouldn't it get very dirty and just but the contaminants back on to the car?

I'm disappointed you didn't demonstrate what to do next when one side of the clay bar is full of muck. I was going to give the clay bar a try as my washed surface does feel a bit rough. I don't go as obsessive over the finish as it's only a ford focus and not a supercar, but a clean car looks good. I will probably go for a diluted solution of wash'n'wax to use with the clay bar.
