A well known tip - soften the clay bar in warm water before the claying stage. Just makes the clay easier to shape.

I watch a lot of detailing videos and I have to say that I really enjoy the way you present your material. It's not like some people that sound like they're reading from a book--you explain yourself very well from a normal-guy perspective and it's different and refreshing. Thanks Jon and keep up the great work.

So many good things come from Great Britain—you’re one of them. You are just simply brilliant, mate. The main thing is I trust you because your commitment to your craft is undeniable.

Sometimes I wish I just did not knew all this. Just run the car through the carwash and drive straight out.

I touched up a few stone chips on my bonnet a week ago and they felt high a week later so used the soft BH clay bar and was nicely surprised when it levelled them out 👍
Good tip on using the mitt with Korrosol, I was using way too much every time 👍👍

[dougwilliams]

Now that ya mention, in the U.S. dealers are NOTORIOUS for as you say, "Sealing OVER Bloody Crap"! Best detailing channel I've seen ever! Thanks M8 & of course, have a lovely day!

[JoshuaLynn]

A thumbs up for the FDC Haka alone. It took me a rewatch to get it, but a genuine laugh brightened my day. Thanks, John for the excellent content.

That BH mild clay is my go to these days after using a few other brands over the years. Does a great job without marring the paintwork

[mazdaram]

Love your passion, helping my confidence to detail my car … cheers for sharing your knowledge for free..

Hi Jon, I clay barred/polished my friends' car last week as he works near a farm (won't say what the fallout was) but when he returned this week all he could say was sorry about the state of the car. After a snow foam etc it looked newish I reckon after last week's treatment this helped to clean it.

[garyxx]

Did my Mk8 Golf Rline this am. I’d no idea about using it until I saw you use it. It blew my mind. Your videos have really helped me. 👍🏻

[chrisdunn]

Hi ya John good video as usual I know what u mean about the tar a fallout still on the paintwork underneath a sealant I just bought a 5 series the dealer did exactly the same to me. A useful TIP with the built hamber clay is to put the clay into some hot water before you use it, it makes it much easier to fold and work with 👍

I switched from claybars to nanoskin decontaminations sponges 7 years ago and never looked back. The way I do it now is to clay and wash at the same time. So I start with the pre-wash with a degreaser in the snow foam cannon, then pressure wash, do the fall out remover, pressure wash, wash with ONR and clay with the sponge while the panel is still wet, then dry the panel. Doing it this way adds maybe 15 minutes to the washing step, it's really, really fast. I normally use the fine sponge unless I notice heavy contamination. Sponges won't remove as much as claybars, but they don't scratch as much either and they save you a ton of time.

[AntEloftheHouseofEl]

Good video Jon! Thanks.

I do things a little differently personally, but its horses for courses i guess.

I put my clay in a jug of hot water to soften it first. Much much more malleable then and much less likely to marr the paint I've found.

I also don't use clay lube either. I use Garage Therapy Zero decon as a contact wash but also as a pre-wash snow foam. I'll then use what's left over in my cannon and bucket as my clay lube as I work my way around the car.
I just find it has brilliant lubricity and the added surfactants just seem to make the claying process even more effective for me. Plus the car has then had, effectively, three hits with the zero decon.
There's always a lot less contamination left meaning I don't need as much clay. Lol.

[junepugh]

Thanks Jon very helpful video. Going to get my car done this week hopefully. Love a clean car..

[chriscoralAloha]

OK. Need to comment. I have used clay bar a few times before but never saw good results. After your video i tried your technique. I now see a big difference. Thank you and keep up the great work.

[stuarth]

I use BH clay. To keep it malleable I break off a few usable size pieces & keep them in a bucket of hot water.

[glennlambert]

I always use BH. I put it in jug hot water and use rolling pin to get it thin enough.

[woncho]

I’ve be using Bilt Hamber clay bar for a few years now, is must be 1 of the best.
