How to use magic clay bar?

The usage method of magic clay bar:

1. First, rinse the car body with clean water to remove surface dust and dirt;

2. Cut the required size of magic clay bar and knead it into shape before use;

3. Spray clean water or lubricant evenly on the cleaning area, magic clay bar, and hands during use;

4. Use your hand to drive the magic clay bar to slide back and forth in a straight line in the cleaning area, without the need for strong pressure, until there is no particle sensation in the area;

5. After applying, wipe the cleaned area with a clean towel. It should be noted that the magic clay bar should be kept lubricated and the body moist at all times. If the surface of the magic clay bar is dirty or there are dirt particles present, it should be folded and wrapped inside the magic clay bar in a timely manner or replaced directly. Use a clean side to continue scrubbing to avoid scratching the paint surface.

What Is a Magic Clay Bar?

A magic clay bar is a special detailing tool made of synthetic resin or elastic polymer. It’s used to remove embedded contaminants—like tree sap, brake dust, road tar, and overspray—from your car’s clear coat that washing alone cannot eliminate.

Result: A smooth, contaminant-free paint surface ready for polishing, waxing, or ceramic coating.

What You’ll Need

Before you start, gather the following:

  • Brilliatech Magic Clay Bar (fine, medium, or heavy grade)

  • Clay bar lubricant (detailing spray or pH-neutral soap water)

  • Clean microfiber towels

  • Car wash supplies (bucket, mitt, car shampoo)

Step-by-Step: How to Use a Magic Clay Bar

Step 1: Wash the Car Thoroughly

  • Use a pH-neutral shampoo to clean dirt and loose debris.

  • Rinse and dry your vehicle before claying.

Step 2: Tear Off a Piece of the Clay Bar

  • Use about a palm-sized piece.

  • Knead it into a flat disc.

Step 3: Spray Clay Lubricant Generously

  • Apply the lubricant to a small section (2’x2’) of the car surface.

  • Never clay a dry surface—it can scratch!

Step 4: Glide the Clay Bar Gently

  • Rub lightly in straight lines.

  • You'll feel resistance at first, then smoothness—this means it's working.

  • Knead the clay to expose a clean surface as it gets dirty.

Step 5: Wipe with Microfiber Towel

  • After claying, gently wipe the area dry.

  • Repeat section by section.

Step 6: Finish with Polish or Wax

  • Apply wax, sealant, or coating to protect the freshly cleaned paint.
