Clay Bar your Car before you wax it, Smooth as a baby!

A car clay bar is an essential car detailing tool that targets the common enemy of every car finish: pollution that causes automotive paint contamination.  It relentlessly pursues your car from the second it leaves the factory until your car meets its ultimate demise.  It's in the air we breathe, it's on the roads we drive, and it attaches to your car's paint, where it bonds and begins a process of oxidation. Take a piece of plastic foil like that of a cigarette box and put it on your fingers and rub your cars finish on the spot you clay bared and then on the spot without. You can feel the contaminates. When contaminants get a solid grip on your car's paint, washing alone may not be enough to remove them.  Pre-wax cleaners also may not be able to exfoliate large particles.  In this case, you have two choices: use a polishing compound, which removes a lot of paint material, or use a clay bar.  A clay bar isn't a polish or a compound, it is a surface preparation bar that smoothes the paint and exfoliates contaminants. THEN put a nice coat of wax on the finish to protect your $3000 (repaint cost) painted car.
