They need to make a zero-gravity clay bar so you can't drop it on the ground!
hahahahahha aamen! Ill invest
Mothers has the one that has a handle ... looks like a mouse! The bottom isn’t clay. Looks like it’s a sponge type material
Thank you.
Anybody else laugh at 4:56 when he said "I keep trying, but I cant get it up."? 😂😂 Sounds like a personal problem.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing your expertise. I am a rookie and need to repair and detail my vehicle next month, so I am gathering as much information as possible. I need to remove scratches and scrapes from the side of my car from other people opening up their car doors and hitting my vehicle, so I am looking for as many detailing tips as possible. Now I have a better idea of what type of clay bars I should be looking for. Thanks again!
Great explanation of what makes a good clay bar. Haven't seen any of the other detailing channels addressing this issue.
Thank you for explaining what others failed to mention.
Thank you for saying something
The best clay bars that I recommend are fine grey varieties from Japan. Those are the best available also have the most industry patents attached to them. I regularly use them an will not touch anything else especially synthetic. There’s no doubt these are available under multiple brand names if you are looking. I believe these are made by the Chemical company in Japan are available as a generic no name label.
They are the same as Magna shine, same place in Japan makes them. They have purple, grey, and white and come in 100gram and 200gram. I like them too they are one of the best
Soft99 (Made in Japan) clay bars any good?
Very articulate and intelligent professional. Really explains things for you to really think about it and say wow.. That does makes sense. Big fan buddy. You'll make it whether it's in detailing world in longevity or something else.
I bought clay bars for years. But earlier this year i decided to try optimums ultra clay towel. Already done 60+ cars with no degrading. I just use superclean 5:1 on the clay media surface in my sink and rub the contaminants out. Works great, drastically cuts back on time and improves efficiency. Definitely need to check it out Luke. Another killer product from optimum
Not just Luke. I may have to try that myself. Thanks
That is awesome! I will check it out!
I’m a detailer nube.
So I just stick with Mothers. It’s easy, not expensive, I don’t drop it, and I don’t have to overthink it.
Maybe someday I will step up to 3M or something a pro would use.
Thanks for the video!
There ya go!
You'll need the aggressive clay bars for over spray situations. The best one I've come across for that (and I hate to admit it) is the chemical guys black clay.
YES! I feel the same way!!! That black one so crazy, it pulled my nitrile glove apart
Hahahaha ya they do make some awesome products, cant throw the baby out with the bathwater
I personally felt like their grey bar did better than their black one. Thet are very small but i like their clay lube. I finid Black Fire, Maxshine, & magna shine to make the best claybars. If you haven't tried one of those brands i would recommend it because they work much better than the chemical guys
I have two questions that I'd like to ask, how do you "clean" a clay bar that you've used, and how long can you use that piece of clay bar before you have to throw it away?
"I'm trying, but I can't get it up"...this shouldn't be a concern at your age, buddy :)
Beat me to it. 😀
🤣
don't think about Luke naked.
🤣🤣
Viagra helps...
Yes clay will remove bugs but if you have bugs you aren't ready for clay. Clean the panel then clay it......
Hahaha yes, just explanation purposes in this video
Just ordered a max shine clay bar and did a small section with 3000 grit wet sand by hand a couple of passes on a used prius I just bought, looked like it hadn't be polished and wax over a year or longer, ... it came out great after a polish and wax, but I think I should try this clay bar I just bought through your link, hope it does the trick, would be better for my clearcoat I think... thank you!
I do the same at times with 3000grit. What I like best is those 3M that are like a 3/16" thick sponge that are grey colored. Stuff is perfect when wet sanding
I've used many variations of clay bars one thing I noticed about the maxxshine heavy duty clay cars is the durability and longevity of it. I like to clay cars in the wash process save money and with soap you get the same results. With clays like mothers and meguiars the clay deteriorates rather quickly and breaks down to quick there not good dealing with multiple chemicals. As where with maxshine I have been able to literally knock cars out quick and also the clay seems not to degrade. I recommend this clay a million times over.
That was the best most intellectual video I have ever seen on claybars ...what are your thoughts on plumbers putty as maybe a first step on a horribly compromised dirty car say a junkyard car just a eye sore I think the idea of bringing a cars finish back to a hell yess finish would be the bees knees ...what is your thoughts on mag and aluminum polish
I tested this once on a black car volvo xc 90. Heavy duty clay made more scratches as a fine grade clay bar. Its safe to say though the heavy duty clay is for more agressive contamination.
Definitely it is more aggressive... trade offs
Japanese made claybar are superior end of
Interesting
Swagura Mutsuki My go to rule when buying stuff is if there is a Japan made option I will take that over others.
My experience the clay lube also has some factors that counts. Using car shampoo makes the clay to harden. Using quik detailers such onr or dedicated clay lube helps more.
Definitely true
You should not have to push harder on clay bars. Let the clay bar do the work. Heavy duty clay is more tacky for heavy contamination. Fine is for light contamination and is less tacky. You must really marr paint jobs with the way you apply pressure to the clay.
Well said
Not sure if this guy can really call himself a "professional" detailer seems to me to be a novice. He tries to cover up the fact of not knowing anything by using big words and talking in circles about a subject.
Well, just understand that there is a difference between shooting a video about clay bars, and actually clay barring a car.. some of this is for explanation purposes
@tkomorosky1 and who the hell are you and what’s makes you expert?!? You’re just a nobody on the internet.
Now you should do a video about what's the best clay lube.
True dat!
Hi there... Im new to all this. Can you tell me why and when you would use clay bar lube? Thanks.
@@DaCake2 They say to use clay bar & lube on your paint every 6 months.
@@bazilwreckerloughead Thanks for that! What does the lube do though and do you need to use it every time you use the clay bar? I just ordered a kit, but the lube didn't come with it.
@@DaCake2 I use detail spray every time I use it. I've herd if you're really desperate you can use water with a bit of car wash soap. I've never done it, but I hear it works.
New to the channel. What are your thoughts on mothers speed clay? I just ordered it and going to use it to clay my car for the first time
Does the job. Don't order shit clay from wish, and you should be good for your personal vehicle.
If you find yourself doing this for profit, with multiple cars a day...you'll still be fine, BUT cost should be considered, as noted by Like it this video.
It's sh*t
For a car that's not heavily contaminated then it should be fine. I have picked up embedded contamination with a clay bar which the mothers speed clay did not, pretty shocking if I'm being honest.
I think it is a great starting place, again don't overthink it
Thankyou luke for such a quick response.a very difficult vid to do since the feel/ tactile end of it is diifficult to convey without the viewer being there.you did well.answered my questions,no you didnt over complicate it.mothers speed clay,horrible,holes open up in it.threw them out.meguires recomends lite moistening before you store after use,no sticking problems.
So glad that this was articulated well! Thank you!
Okay. Now I do understand more about clay bars than before. Good!
Challenge:
Drink everytime he says 'clay bar'
hahahahahahahhaa
And "Wilson Detail Community"
Aaaand I’m dead. 😂
i use the the clay bar from the company "three bears" and I prefer the "goldilocks" bar!
I really like Meguiars clay bar. Luke mentions his Meguiars bar has already been used, but in case some are wondering, the kit does come with two individually wrapped bars in the box. Great video, Luke!
Yes true!
Aren’t you suppose to put it in a plastic bag or something? Maybe it just stick to the baggy as well. You’d think the manufacturers would add something to help it not stick to the container. What do you think of the clay mitts or clay foam pads... like Griots Garage Foam Pad Clay (Brilliant)
Excel Detail I believe Aut0dometer meant put the claybar in a plastic bag to keep it from sticking to the box.
In warmer climates, they stick to everything, it seems. Had some stick (a little) to a towel.
Yes you'd think... possible future business venture? hahahahaha
I did and it was very nice but very lightly did I do it right?
What do you think about some people using plumbers putty to clay a car
It would leave a film that would need cleaned off.
Can you answer this it’s own video since this info is already out there?
I would just say dont overcomplicate it... get some automotive clay
This video helped a lot thank you.
Im glad!
You speak very well with excellent diction. Glad I found the channel. May I ask what you did before becoming a professional detailer?
... I don’t know🤔... “fantastically”...you tell me... my grammar is not the best. Maybe you can help me with this one?
I really appreciate that. hahaha I read and write a lot, but detailing is just the beginning of the things that I want to do, so I am just capitalizing on where I am at in life right now with detailing. I really appreciate the feedback!
that answered a lot of questions for me thanks!
Meguiar's C2000 (C2100 hard paints) & 3M perfect it, professional grade for me !!.
Clay lube, meguiar's M34 is perfect Without silicone, perfect for decontaminating! , less work for the ipa for the rest, that's how I see it.
I've heard 3M and Meguiars are good quality
3M is now made in Brazil. I recently bought it and it is junk.
Yes definitely
@@patwalker9890 mind elaborating?
Great video Luke!! I have a question What Do you Think about Chemical guys Clay blocks, Are They Worth The money and will They offer the Same Results?
Mequiars professional clay bar from japan
I have not used them yet so I need to get my hands on them!
Thanks
I have a dull spot on my car havent done any detailing for 7 years so now im seeing that dulk spot on my hood.
The maxshine heavy duty or best to start at medium duty?
After claying can i use the medium cut compound?
Or go straight into wax?
It looks like the link above for more info on clay, is a website that is longer available.
Whichclay bar is better maxshine or clay magic ??
HI
best ever is to use Bilt Hamber clay fr UK they have their own clay mine ! avail in S , M, H grades it is so pure they say and it is TRUE ! you can use just plain water for lube ! ! try it let me know what you think ? and update your video w/an addendum ? thx Jack
I have a '93 Cadillac Deville that has seen better days. I wash it regularly but I really want to do more to help improve the look and condition. As far as I know the car has never had clay used on it. Would you recommend a light or heavy duty bar to start it off?
synthetic is just as good as "real" and from my experience, it all comes down to value. There japanese modeling clay that can work too, and comes in bigger quantities at cheaper prices.
Do you ever use a clay box or clay cube while your washing the vehicle or while you foam it to save time?
I have had good results with Griots Garage Synthetic Clay... you drop it, you rinse it and keep going. I only use car shampoo from my clean bucket that’s got some rinseless car wash in it already.
There ya go!
Can I use a clay bar if I have a wax or sealant and ceramic coating or will it remove it?
Good info... What's your opinion on Chemical Guys Clay Bars incomparsion?
Hi Wilson, I’m wondering if I use the hard dense clay bar, would it scratch my car ?
Thanks for the advise Luke.
Of course!
I tried the clay but seems to be so hard to hold it on my hand so it slips out then I have to use another one so I just gave up with this clay bars.
What do you use to lubricant the bar, just water?
I use a clay mitt. Faster
Yuck clay mitts are awful wym? it doesn't even get the break fallout off. Sure it gets stuff off though
I need to try the mitt.
Ya sometimes, but Im a sucker for the classic for a few different reasons
Can you use any kind lube for the maxshine clay bar ?
Well spoken, good content, new sub😎🤝
Great video gonna get this!
Great!
I see you used the clay bar on the mirror. I always wondered if it can be used on the plastic and vinyl trim of a car. Every video I've seen they on show it on the car's metal. Also, if one keeps turning the clay bar in to itself, how can you use one car for a car? won't it scratch the surface with particles on it?
Concerned about the quality and Origin being from China ( on Amazon ). Their products, description and wording is poorly written. So unfortunately, it does lower the trustworthiness of the source(s). If it's in bad English, then you know it can very bought for half the price on Other overseas websites like aliexpress, alibaba from China. It just doesn't give me the same assurance as Mothers , Meguires, etc. But, you explained the clamber well . thanks !
I heard about using plumbers putty for clay barring .. any thoughts anyone??
I’ve had the best experience with mother’s clay bars
What about clay bar lubricants?
Once you use Meguiar's Professional Clay you'll drop all the others.
After you clay the car do you have to wash it again or just put wax on top of it
Do NOT wash it again! Go with your preferred polish/wax/ceramic/graphite product (and to be more confusing there are a hundred plus RUclips videos about which of those is best! Good luck!)
What do you think about clay mitts, towels, etc or "rubber" synthetic clay in general?
I'm not Wilson, but use both. I enjoy the mitt. Larger coverage means less time with clay. Use clay on the smaller areas where a mitt don't fit
Yeah I can see how that would be beneficial and I'm all about streamlining my detailing process to make it more efficient.
I have mixed feelings about them right now, but I need to put out a video about it soon!
@@flipfloplogic Exactly. I've managed to incorporate it as part of the wash process, using a soap mixture as lube.
I find clay blocks tend to be better for me
Yep!
@4:09, the term is tackiness.
Do you know the best clay bar that can remove water spots from my windows?
Claybars do not from my understanding remove water spots. You meed a dedicated water spot / water mark remover but please do not buy the ones with acid as they will stain your glass
I have definitely experienced clay bars that dont pick up contaminants and those same ones were also very sticky and became one with whatever i store them in. It sucks almost wondering if the clay bar us doing anything at all.
What brand was it?
@@nvdetails9579 it was an Amazon brand. I was testing to see if there was any difference between meguiars and other. I am not sayin megs is the best but thats mainly the only one ive used and It was good. The other not as much.
Yep that is part of what I was trying to convey here
Got it! So don’t use Plumbers Putty 😂 Try putting your clay in a sandwich baggie before storing in the box.
hahahahahaha
Can't get it up? Dude you're a young guy!
Hahahahahahaha
Meg’s mild professional line is the best PERIOD! All others are garbage, 3M garbage now after they changed their formula.
Interesting.......
Tundra Are you referring to perfect it 2?
Detail Enthusiast Meguiars professional line clay, it’s the best, period!
Try bilt hamber
Adam Slater where do you buy it? Thx
Great video
you need put maxshine or whatever is the company name in all your video titles. i watch more than 5 of your video all of them same you are comparing maxshine with others and somehow maxshine is the leader on everything
Wow. A very hyper never ending explanation. Thanks tho
that all his videos 😂😂 he is very detailed and informative tho
Use your words, dude. Take some Ativan, meditate and THEN articulate...... Jeeezzz you wore me out before the first 60 seconds trying to help you find....the .....words? I N T E N S E!!!!! Great effort, Great guy but.....sssssslllllllooooowwww ddddooooowwwwnnnn.......
In parting, some people should not drink alcohol. They just shouldn't. I recommend that you drink alcohol LOL I absolutely loved your video but I nearly had a heart attack trying to help you get the words out. You truly love what you do - that's admirable and I would watch your videos all day long. Keep it up!!!!
Clay Magic... The "ORIGINAL" clay bar is the best imo. The blue "medium" clay bar.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Bruh you looking like a male model with the new cut and eyewear. 😄
u gay bro
@mmpr - ask your father. He left his wallet on my nightstand.
Hit em with the emoji, too. damn
I buy showcar claybar from shinerz!
There ya go!
What happened to the man bun?
Delilah cut it in the middle of the night
Wilson Auto Detailing cool 😎
Size is always a factor 😁😊...Sorry my inner teenager had me laughing though this video.. Seriously though... Good video hon.. ❤️
Hahahaha you and others!
Interesting
How to use a clay bar? And how many times can use for 1 clay bar?
It is a little difficult to answer because it can change so much, but I say for the average car owner, once every three months is a good place to start
Big bar? Just divide to size - simple really.
Hahaha yes true
Plumbers putty is the $1.80 at walmart and it's just as good if not better then the 15 or 20 dollar ones.Also clay lube is a joke you can use any wash soap that you use on your car.
I would bite the bullet and invest the $14
Use plumbers putty
Whoa, dude, may I suggest decaf or ritalin.
I was thinking exactly that too!
True Japanese clay bars are the best.
Just use a clay mitt 😂
Sometimes, but not in every situation
have you ever tried Plumbers Putty instead of clay bars?
i did not understand anything... i thought i did... but no. hahahaha
man..you want the Soft clay most the time or it's just a pain. Especially when it's cold. you barely put Any pressure when doing clay bar anyway. That one he has seems awful soft...when I bought them last year, they don't seem as soft as this vid show
Clay bars from Japan are the best. Mequiars is the best
Interesting
درود بر شما متشکرم اقا شما مرد بسیار باهوشی در کار خودتون هستید امیدوارم همیشه سلامت شاد باشید
ill never use a clay bar again it ripped my clearcoat apart
Did you use lubrication?
Please give some details if you would
@James O'Brien there are some claybars that will leave fine scratches behind because they are abrasive, but normally you will do a light polish after using an aggressive claybar
@Dylan J. I think he used a machine polisher without the pad
Or a clay pigeon.
how old are you how are you already married
too much caffeine bud?lol
Would you like to do a review of our clay bar? We are Malaysian base car care manufacturer with the brand pgpermaglass
With the kind of customer service you guys provide, I think people should pass
@@vsmh96 so can u explain what kind of customer service are you referring to that people should pass mr?
@@PGPermaGlassHi there, I purchased one of your glass wiping cloth that streaks and a leaves lint behind, spoke to Mr.Harif who told me he'd speak to his sales manager Mr. Desmond and get back to me. Never did up until i called and asked for an update only to be told that its "impossible". They wanted me to go take pictures or submit proof of the issue. I didn't bother and decided not to purchase any of your products anymore since they don't seem to be interested in standing behind the product and can't be bothered to even update the customer by their own effor / courtesy. Having dealt with TW and Maguire's before, PG was by far the worst customer service i have experienced.
I was initially interested in trying some of your other products too but decided against it despite your compelling price and instead paid more to get alternatives.
If you would still like to discuss the matter, let me know how to contact you or your team.
Based on the above, kindly decide if thats the kind of CS you'd like your brand to be known for and if i was being unreasonable.
Thank you.
@@vsmh96 As our customer service procedure we still need to verify the issue before deciding to replace the cloth or is it the way the customer use the products in a wrong way which caused such issues, because so far we have not had any of such issues before. Is it not logical for our customer service to request for some pictures to verify the problem before deciding on a solution?
@@PGPermaGlass it was not put across in that manner but rather in a "i dont believe you, it has never happened before" manner and so you're probably lying. Was it so hard to update your customer by making a simple call instead just letting it be? Finally, I usually wash the cars at night after work thus the cloth is used usually when its dark and i dont think my camera is going to be able to pick up anything if at all and yes, im basically replying on the orange street light to see because i dont own a garage where i have the luxury to on lights to help my claim. With that being said i just left it at that…
aweeehhh
Jail pose
Plumbers putty
Thumbs up:)
Talked alot to say nothing
