Chemical Guys, Heavy Duty Clay Bar for Paint Prep & Decon, Black, 100 g

Nice

Everything good

I like this product but chemical guys is pricey stuff and I don't think it's really any better then cheaper competitors that being said what I like about this brand is you know when you buy it your getting a quality product and not some knock off junk like you all too often run into in the detailing products world. There's so many bad quality products out there that sometimes it makes sense to pay a bit more for a known good quality product like this. That being said this got my whips looking super sexy and especially after I applied the ceramic coatings to them!!!

Highly recommend. Had overspray get all over my truck from construction site. These clay bars worked great. Now my paint is smooth again. Definitely lot of work.

Works great on heavily neglected paint. BEWARE: THIS WILL INDUCE MARRING AND LIGHT SCRATCHING ON DARKER COLORED PAINT, IF IT IS SUCCESSFULLY PULLING HEAVY CONTAMINATES FROM YOUR PAINT! SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT MARK THIS PRODUCT DOWN BECAUSE IT CAUSED YOU TO SCRATCH YOUR BEAUTIFUL BLACK PORSCHE. This is more or less a specialty clay for really bad, old, neglected paint. So if you are using this clay bar on paint, you are 99% guarenteed to be following this with a polish or light compound. Chances are, if it's this bad to start with - you're gonna need to polish it out anyways. I follow a black-clay job with Chemical Guys V38 or V36. Something. Also be sure to clean, knead, and dispose of this properly. It's hard to see dirt because of it's color, so be mindful of this. Simple procedures will give you good results. But expect to be polishing or at least using a paint cleaner afterwards to get rid of find scratches. I also want to point out that this works WONDERFUL when claying glass. No you will not scratch your glass. It handles rocks at freeway speeds, sand, the sun, acid rain, everything else - bird crap, sap, leaves, whatever. It could care less about the clay. In fact I use old no-longer-for-paint use clay when I am washing a vehicle on glass. Recycling old materials is always a good idea! Cost effective way of removing light water spotting and contamination. Glass cleaner and car-washing will *not* remove sap and bonded contaminates from glass, but this will. This is what gives glass that silky smooth feel again. Heavy water etching will need heavy treatment, such as a dedicated glass polish. But this with your soapy water will remove 99% of whatever is on your glass.

Works extremely well I had a horrible oil based paint overspray from a construction job all over my F350 this clay bar worked extremely well getting it off!!

Great for overspray, especially on glass.

Just tried on roof of car 2x2 area left 4 black clay smears on roof had rub finger to get most off still some on car. I did keep car and clay wet still smears.

Now my 🚗 shine like new. thanks to chemical guys clay bar.

Top. Die beste die ich bisher hatte

We moved across country last year and learned they have an irritating way of "resurfacing" the roads here. Normally they'll either fill in potholes, or rip up and replace the road, right? Not here! They just dumped a bunch of asphalt and let the traffic tamp it down for them. The result was a horrific mess of black tar all over my white car! I bought the heavy duty clay bar as I knew it'd be a tough job, and though it did take a lot of work/rubbing, almost everything did come out. There was a small area of tar and yellow road paint in one of the wheel wells that didn't fully come out, but it's still much better. The picture really doesn't do it justice/the difference was far more stark in person, but you get the idea! Edit to add: The comments that complain about the clay smearing on the paint - yes, that can happen, though I found it tended to happen when I was feeling a bit low on luber. It also wipes right off if you just rub the clay bar over it again, so it's really not a big deal!

It's not the best clay bar I've ever used, but it does the job. I had to remove grey fence paint from my already chalky, white car paint and unfortunately the black and stickiness of this product fights you and tries to stick to the paint rather than slip over it, and yes that's even when thoroughly wet. While the new age kids think using a clay bar is for debris removal or smoothing paint (that's not what clay bars are for), this item won't do that. Unless it's just the batch I received; it sticks/grips to the paint too much.

Good clay bar. Would buy again.
