Default CLAY BAR

Hi all.

When should you clay bar. I've had my car since April. It looks great but I've been reading about the clay bar. I actually bought one yesterday, Mcquires also have the new NSX wax, I think that's how you spell it. Anyway need feed back on Clay bar should you use it on a brand new car. Thanks.

You might ask your questions of those over in the Car Care Products section of the Forum. Some over there are very knowledgeable.

go for it, you are not going to hurt the car as long as you follow the directions. many dealers clay bar cars because of the rail dust. You will get the best shine and smoothes car for doing it.

NXT is amazing and easy to use. Others will tell you about Zaino - another great product. I don't think there is a "best" wax - it is a preference based on the needs of the user - fast, easy,with or without buffer,etc. I don't think you will be disappointed with NXT. I used Pinnacle Sovereign followed by NXT spray booster wax and it is the best shine I have accomplished in over 40 years of waxing cars(not for a living). Good luck with you car!
