Chemical Guys, OG Clay Bar & Luber Synthetic Lube Kit, Medium Duty, 2-Piece

There is a reason this product has over 10K happy customers... it works and it is so easy to use. It's my first time ever doing this so I was a little hesitant to do it myself, but the product has a lot of helpful how-to videos on YouTube, so I watched a few of those prior to trying my own hand. It was so easy to use with the items provided in the kit, and the only thing one needs is a clean micro fiber cloth. There are a few levels of clay available, and the yellow OG clay bar worked perfect on my car that is 9 years old and not in bad shape. I had some clear coat overspray and also some light spray paint overspray on my vehicle that I needed to remove and after some simple research it was highly recommended to clay bar the vehicle. This product has many good reviews and I decided to go with it, and they didn't disappoint not one bit. It goes on super easy using the lubricant spray and using just a small piece the size of my fingertip, and with that small piece alone, I was able to do both sides and the back panels of medium sized car. All in all I ended up using a very small amount of the clay, so it is a great value and doing it yourself saves a lot of money too. It is lightly scented and pleasant, and it smells a little like a coconut but that goes away once it is all wiped away as you go by sections which is important to leave a streak-free surface. Working in the shade is important so it doesn't dry up, and it wouldn't harm the paint, but it would just be a waste of lubricant to refresh it and wipe it off. Once wiped, it leaves a very shiny surface and the paint is ready to have a wax applied afterwards. Wearing gloves is recommended for those who don't like getting chemicals on their skin as this is very hands-on, and that's just me but folks can do whatever they want. Great product, great value, and super easy to use with great results.

I purchased two of the Chemical Guys Clay Bar & Lubricant Kits to remove the impurities in the clearcoat of two of my vehicles. I had never used a clay kit before and had decided after watching a YouTube video to give it a go prior to waxing. The first vehicle, a 2009 Mini Cooper (silver with a black top) is in good shape, but if you were to run your hand across the paint, particularly on the roof, you could feel the bumps in the clearcoat. I decided to get it washed and give this kit a try, making sure to use back-and-forth motions and not circular ones as I went along. The lubricant spray has a pleasant odor. The spray allows the claybar to glide across the surface of the car. It's important to generously spray the lubricant and not allow the claybar to have any drag on the surface. I probably could have used a medium-duty claybar for the Mini, but the light-duty claybar with this kit did work well, it just took me more passes in the same area before it bacame smooth. I folded the claybar multiple times while working on the car and could see the impurities being picked up by it on the claybar as little dark bits. I wore rubbler gloves while completing the claybar exercise on my vehicle. I'd recommend that, as I think the lubricant may stain your hands with a light blue color. I also think that if you ran out of lubricant spray while doing the claybar rub of your vehicle, you could use soapy water. After the claybar of my car I waxed it. The results were excellent and I could see how this kit helped me to achieve a "like new" appearance of the paint. This was particularly noticeable on the black top, which was shiny like glass without any water spots or bumps. I recommend this product to anyone who has noticed a bumpiness to their clearcoat and wants to take an extra bit of care to refresh their vehicle's paint. It does take time to do this and it is an extra step between washing and waxing, but once a year or so - it's worth it - to keep your vehicle looking nice!

This stuff WORKS to remove paint overspray from glass as well as plastic headlight lenses and the rest of the vehicle. I could not see the overspray, but after washing I could feel it. A few passes with this left the glass feeling like glass again, and I could feel the "drag" disappear as it was coming off while using it. I don't normally leave reviews, but I am impressed with how well this works. Pretty straightforward instructions and not difficult to use at all, and works quickly. I tried numerous other solutions with no real results before ordering. Highly recommend.

Works well

This is the best clay bar I have ever purchased. Slides smooth with the liquid that was included and picks up everything.

Fantastic product, BUT you MUST know how to use it. So many negative reviews are "user error", because this stuff requires skill and a lot of patience (not to mention an arm/shoulder workout). The clay is the perfect composition, easy enough to work, but it doesn't break up or disintegrate even with aggressively working at my windshield (I wouldn't work that hard on the paint). I have not tried the "heavier" versions as I have a newer vehicle and the paint is well maintained (my family would say "obsessively" or "babied"), I just don't know about the "black" one, you want the clay to have a color where you can see it is dirty. The luber is good, but just about any detail spray will work, just DON'T do a "quick wax" or "wash and wax" with clay, you gum up the clay and lock the contaminates into the paint instead of lifting them off. Not a fan of the bubble gum smell, but there are worse smells out there (I'm looking at you Turtle Wax). Clay has 2 purposes: 1. Full decontamination or 2. Spot removal of tar, sap, etc. I've used it for both now with great results. My most common use is removing tree sap from paint and glass without resorting to a harsh cleaner. After taking delivery of my new vehicle, I expected there to be some amount of "rail dust" and other contamination from the shipping process. I wasn't wrong and this worked wonders. Before doing any kind of sealant on the paint, you want to make the clay bar part of this process: 1. Deep clean wash (something like "Clean Slate" or Dawn or a De-greaser), 2. Chemical decontamination with an iron remover, 3. Clay bar to mechanically remove any remaining contaminants. Finish up optionally with mechanical polishing (new car so I'll do this next year), then a sealant, wax, or coating. Working with a clay bar: 1. Tear or cut off a small piece (1/4 of the bar) removing ANY plastic wrap, there are plastic sheets on BOTH sides of this bar, absolutely be sure it is gone and it is very sticky so this isn't easy, 2. spray the clay and your fingers with the luber, 3. work the clay into a half dollar size disk, feel for any odd textures (pieces of plastic left over, I found one once), 4. spray luber on a 1-2 foot section of paint, 5. working in small circles over that section a couple of passes, add more luber as needed, it should ALWAYS be gliding across the paint or glass, never sticking or dragging, 6. wipe off with a microfiber towel and inspect visually and tactility it should be a tad shinier and be incredibly smooth, 7. the clay should now have some amount of discoloration (love the yellow color as it shows this VERY well), fold it over, knead it back into a disk so a clean surface shows again, go back to step 4 and repeat over the entire vehicle paint and glass. IF the clay has become dark to the point you can't get a clean surface OR you have dropped it on the ground, DISCARD IT and get another piece. That last bit is critical, if the clay itself gets contaminated too much it will start to scratch the paint.

Just did the hood on my truck. Works well and its surprising how it lifts the contamination and crude off paint surface. Also, the clay bar is easy to work and knead while you're using. I've used other clay bars that are very hard and difficult to work.

The kit makes it easy to prep and clean the paint on your car prior to applying protective wax or ceramic coating. It work's great.

This clay bar kit was super easy to use and worth the money 100%. It was my first intro to the chemical guys brand and now I've bought a few more things from them. 100% recommend this product and company!
