Before reaching straight for a clay bar, you can test your clear coat for contaminants in just a few seconds. Slip your hand into a zippered, plastic bag and gently slide it across the surface of your car in a number of different locations. If the surface feels smooth like glass, your clear coat is free of contaminants. You can skip straight to any paint correction your car needs and then apply a layer of wax. If you feel little bumps under your fingertips, you have bonded contaminants in the clear coat. You need to clay bar it first. Then, you can polish and wax.
 
To clay bar your finish, you’ll obviously need a clay bar. You also need a lubricant spray that’s formulated specifically for this job. This is important because the lubricant keeps your finish safe and scratch-free as you wipe the clay across it. And lastly, you’ll need a few clean, dry microfiber towels to wipe up any residual lubricant.
 
Remove the clay bar from its package, break off half and return the other half to the package or a zippered plastic bag. Knead and shape the bar into a flat oval that’s large enough to cover your fingers. Spray lubricant onto the clay and the small area of the car you’re about to treat. Wipe the clay back and forth across the surface. Then, wipe away excess lubricant with a microfiber towel. Use the plastic bag to test the surface. If you still feel bumps, clay bar the area until it feels smooth. As the clay picks up contaminants, it will begin to appear dirty. Knead the clay to reveal a clean surface and continue working. Treat the entire car, working in 2’ x 2’ sections until the finish is entirely decontaminated.
 
Once you’ve removed all contaminants from the finish of your car, it’s ready for a polish and wax for that beautiful Turtle Wax sparkle and protection!
