Bada Bing Bada Bang!! Mothers 2.0 is just what I was looking for. This will be my first time Claying a car in my 67 years. This looks to easy. I just have to do it.
I inherited my Grandma's 04 Ford Mustang v6 and she is the original owner. It sat out in the parking lot all its life and has only 33k miles on it. Even though its low mileage it has never been cared for or washed. I replaced a lot of dry rotted parts but JUST clay bared it today with this product. It worked MIRACLES on that old Mustang. There were paint streaks that I thought the paint was going but after claying it and than putting Mother's wax on it, it shines like glass. I can't recommend this product enough. I am a weekend warrior and not a professional but this was awesome!
Thumbs up for the comment and for being a Skins fan. HTTR!
Anyone who hasn't tried speedclay 2.0 is missing out big time. As they said, this will save time. I use it while washing the car, before rinsing off the shampoo I do a couple of passes, when the paint is smooth, then I rinse. That alone is a big plus for me. The extra drying time saved, and not having to worry about dropping it.
But, didn't they say after a car wash to rinse away any loose dirt, then lubricate and clay?
Just used the clay bar on my truck for the first time. Brake dust gone. Grime gone. Made my Silverado look brand new!! Thanks guys for recommending this product!
I repeat, do not clay in circles.. up & down or left to right!
Im 37, after 25 years this the first time im going try it looks easy. Thanks guys
Don't use the whole block at once. They would like you too so that you replace it more often. Cut the original block into 3 equal-sized pieces. Also, don't move the block in circular motions. Back and forth... Side to side.
great idea - thank you
Definitely tear in thirds. Bar maybe too small to cut into quarters but thirds and half is pretty reasonable.
I noticed the circular motions,too. I'm thinking... This is mother's... Why are they doing that?
The direction of the clay is totally up to you. Just be sure to use ample lubricant. And yes cutting the clay bar into sections is a great idea for using the clay.
That was my thought as soon as I saw him use the entire bar all at once. WTH? You tear off about 1/4th and work with that. Just another way to get you to buy more often. What a joke.
I'm old fashioned and never use anything but the mothers gold carnuba...I bought this kit today and it really does work...amazing
I watch the video yesterday, went and bought the kit at autozone here in California it was kind a late to do it last night,
This morning (Sunday) my wife asked me to go with to the local store, I couldn’t go in the store because I forgot my mask, while sitting in my truck I remember I had the kit inside.
I started on the hood and just in a few minutes I was amazed, few minutes later I had at least 5 people around me they thought I was a sells rep for Mother’s, I told them I was regular customer trying it for the first time and they were amazed of the results as I was.
I drive a 4x4 Tacoma earth color it looks great
Awesome story! Glad you are pleased with the results
I did the car yesterday, first clay-barring, and then applying paste wax with an orbital polisher. AMAZING result. I never imagined getting such a professional finish could be so easy. Thanks for the guidance.
Awesome to hear - Good job and that is why we are here doing these videos - You can catch us LIVE every Thursday @ 3pm est. We discuss a different detailing topic each week. hope to see you there! - Yancy
@@autogeek Good to know. Will try to be there.
Just bought this kit yesterday at Walmart, cant wait to use it!
Forest has a great sense of humor! Keeps life in perspective.
Obviously RUclips knows I just bought this kit on Amazon...
Too fucking real... too fucking real
Honestly i feel like im being watched i went to Walmart and looked at this kit and bam . . Recommended
Lol
Whatever you typed in shopping sites/apps, relevant ads will show up everywhere
@@isaacmontoya5513 no joke, me too. I was looking at a brown carhartt sweater. That night ads popped up for brown carhart sweaters....put tape on mics and camera on your phone...
Soapy wooder?
Island Aerial 😂🤣chrisfix
Lol 😂👍🏽
Or blinker fluid. Chris says you can use either.
I've noticed that some Bostonians say "wooder" instead of water and "quote" instead of quart.
......that's what she said?
I’ve always used hose water when claying. Never had any issues and don’t need to “save on lube”. Haha
I love mother's products... The best there is
I love my mother too ...her clay patties are delicious.
This channel has made me fall in love w detailing!
Happy to hear that!
Check out their forum.
He had me at "you save on lube"
Thank you I just used your product with fantastic results ...
Great to hear!
I’ve been shopping at mothers for about 30 years. It was my go-to-store in Lodi New Jersey. They always had everything you needed. Now I’m out west, getting their product at Auto Zone. Thank you for sharing
A "footprint" on your hand. Love mixing metaphors. Thx
Oh yeah I have always heard do not use it in circular motions
That would be true but if you are going to polish after then it wouldnt matter

Why not?
This woman knows her Clay 👍
smart lady ✊🏾
Without knowing i ourchased your clay set with the pspray and towel and the 2 clay bars early saturday and i just watched your video lol. Crazy
How is that the "bumps" on the surface of the paint don't cause scratches when picked up by the clay?
They are absorbed into the clay.
my question if you use the caly and it collects the small particles how can you use it the next time when you just twist it a few times? Wont the small dust particles that you just removed and stuck in the clay scratch the paint?
well, just fold it, like when you are wiping something w a towel and gets dirty u just fold it and use the clean side
Ok...so after claying each area...do you rinse and dry the whole car again before polishing, or do you just bask in the fact that you wiped it down with the puuuuurday yellow towel after each section?
Question on the speed block 2.0 - How often do you clean off the surface (i.e. folding the clay bar) and would a clean micro fibre towel work? Thanks.
I got my clay kit today ,,cant wait to use it manana
Has the Mothers staff ever used their own product? The Instant Detailer bottle base is so narrow it is almost impossible to set it down without it falling over. Extremely frustrating when these companies do not test their own products PRIOR to marketing. I poured the lubricant into a round base bottle. I don't want to spent all day picking the bottle up off the floor. "Form follows function", Louis Sullivan.
Mine fell over just today. I'm like, why?
I like using turtle wax zip wax soap as lube. Mothers clay is terrific. Lay down towels around the perimeter of the car, that way, if You drop the bar, it can be used again safely.
Just picked up a Clay Kit today! Since I don't leave my yard on Friday the 13th I'll be trying this out tomorrow! LOL!!!
At point 8.4 you said you can "skip a step" by washing your car, then rinsing it, then going straight into the clay bar 2.0. So if I'm understanding you correctly, you then I won't need the lubricant after all....just the rinse off water that was used? You actually said: "plus you save on lube".
I'm definitely going to have to pick up that speed clay
How is it? Is it better than traditional clay bar? Also what is the life expectancy for the 2.0?
Not any better. Just costs three times as much because of the plastic handle.
I have one. It sucks. Feels like it doesn't pick up much at all.
Video starts at about 3:45
In case you are wondering if claybar can be used in GLASS.....YES. I clay the windows, and apply JetSeal from Chemical Guys. Yes there is a video on it RUclips JetSeal on a windshield. It will also make a smooth surface to apply RainX if so desired. Remember Rain-X.....the faster you go on a rain slicked highway the better it works.
Oh sure.....speed up on a rain slicked highway! That makes zero sense.
Relax it meant to be sarcastic anyone who would take that phrase literally probably shouldn’t be out on the roads unsupervised or for that matter out in public unsupervised.
Been using Rain-X since 1980. Works best at highway speeds. Wife doesn’t like me not running wipers though. The rain runs off at speeds around Mach2! 🥰
on a real note though the aerodynamics of a newer dodge dart allow you to drive in rain with neither wipers or rain x, shits wild
This stuff is hella good, it even took out some waterspots haha
The clay bar kit works good. I paid 17.99 for the kit at O'Reilly's.
“everydays a party”💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I just picked up the new Speed clay block the other day! I can't wait to try it out.
do you like that
My buddy picked up that “New” clay bar 2.0 and he hated it.
Acc0rd79. Yes , lets know.
Great video guys, I'm going to definitely try out this product in my body shop!
It would be good if you used a worn looking car paint job. The car used did not need clay bar cleaning.
Are you supposed to polish and wax afterwards
I'm curious - I'll wash (Armor All Snow Foam) then clay bar OR clay 2.0...
But then what?
I've got both Armor All Extreme Shield +Ceramic Wash (it did a nice job on my truck and my RV) AND Cerakote Paint Sealer...
Thoughts or advice on which to use?
My assumption is the Cerakote - then maintain with Armor All Snow Foam Soap & follow up with the Extreme Shield +Ceramic...
Hi autogeek team . It is not better to make rectilinear gestures rather than circular gestures with the clay bar ?!.
Clay mitt, clay towel, clay disc, can we use them with our car shampoo at the same time as washing? Can I for example make: for 3,5gallons of water, 100ml (3,4oz) shampoo meguiar's ultimate wash & wax + 60ml (2oz) of ONR, to use clay mitt, clay towel etc (except clay bar of course)? thank you in advance
will clay take off bugs and tar off the lower doors and fenders?
Do NOT fold the clay, use a potato peeler to skin off the dirty side - dispose.
I thought professionals that use clay never use clay in circles? straight lines back and forth hash like patterns? At the 2.03 part of video the guy looks like Danielson wax on wax off
the eabster obviously not professional just a pretend one to sell mothers products
Scott Michale , yes but the mothers rep did it correctly.
If the products you'r using are NOT putting scratches into the paint then it doesn't matter which direction you move your hand.
If the products you're using ARE putting scratches into the car's paint then you don't want to move your hand in one direction to put scratches into the paint in one direction = you want to stop using the product.
Make sense? -Mike Phillips
@@autogeek so you mean..if we are not using mothers brand..lol..correct?
I have fathers one will that work too
The 2.0 is only for flat surfaces really.... I prefer the old fashion yellow clay. Conforms to any grooves and the like. And NEVER clay in circles! When done, store the bar in a Small Tupperware container and spray a few shots of detailed on the bar. Ready for next use when you need it.
Thanks guys I just got the clay bar
Save me a search please, what kind of soap should one use before a clay and wax? I like that demo of the 2.0 product, I will probably buy next time before a wax job.
I use Miracle ll soap, the best I've seen.
Great clay detail
I noticed your using spray wax with your clay bar as a lubricant...is there another lubricant that can used that isn't spray wax? Aren't you waxing your car then? If I'm going to rinse after, don't I want to avoid waxing? Just confused by your process.
They had me @8:50, plus you save on lube!!!!! I'm fuckin dying!!!!!
Can I use these clay on plastic painted parts of motorcycles ?
why does it take 4 minutes t get to it? now long is a bar good for?
I dont understand why the 2.0 is still called Speed clay. Because it is not clay.
Jon Jackson marketing.
I've been using the Mothers 3 Step system for more than 25 years and their original clay bar product more recently, 12 years. When I first finished using the clay bar on my car I wondered once done if using the Step 1 'Pure Polish' was necessary. Thinking not I went straight to Step 2 & 3, the 'Polishing Glaze' and then wax. What are yours or anyone's thoughts on this? Curious about the 2.0, will have to try it.
Step 1 isn't necessary if the paint is in great condition. Step 2 and 3 would be sufficient!
I skip the glaze, I find the glaze is the hardest to remove, so I clay, then step 1 polish, skip the glaze... ( bc polish removes hair line scratches etc ) then step 3 Carnuba wax. The next day after the wax sets I re wash and top it off with the ceramic spray wax. Very Happy with this process! The liquid pure carnuba saves time too! Much easier to apply and wipe off with same results as paste. The ceramic spray will become a bi weekly topper after every wash! I do this once a year
Mothers could have moulded some thumb detents on the Speed Clay 2.0. It works very well but mine has delaminated at both ends. Some tree sap was unremovable, probably being on the roof too long.
How long 2.0 lasts?
After you wash it and get all the contaminants off the surface are you suppose to dry car before you clay the surface or can you do it while it's wet?
If the surface is still wet, as long as you are using a clay lubricant as well, you could use it while it's wet no problem.
part number would be great, i need the cinnamon smelly stuff
I rather use clay i cannot see whats under that speed clay
I rather use cow patties i can see whats in there
I want to make sure of the proper steps - wash, rinse, clay bar (is it better to not dry the vehicle when it’s time to use the clay, even when using the mother’s instant Detailer?), rinse, and then use an iron remover? I’ve seen a few videos on the use of an iron remover and I’ve seen people do the iron remover before clay bar and others use it after clay bar.
Here is link that will help you with the detailing process. There is a graphic that illustrates the detailing steps - ABC's of Paint Correction. But we suggest using the Iron remover first while car is dry then rinse and do claying step either while washing or before wash.

how is this pad 2.0 thingy any different than just a sponge? its not clay...
Only SpongeBob SquarePants knows. ...lol.
Mael-Strom 😂
Quick question * if you know the answer* would you recomend using a barclay after using shine armour? And would you recommend doing so
what If you just rinsed yor car after a wash. do you need to dry the car before using the spray wax and clay ? also do you need to rinse the car after you clay since you are using a spray wax or just a simple wipe be is all that is needed ?
I just did my F150 and it turned out nice 👍🏼 nice thanx
I call bullshit... no F-150 ever turned out nice lmfao. JK fella
Is Speed Clay 2.0 as effective as California Gold as they are made from different substance
Can I use a clay bar if I have a wax or sealant and ceramic coating or will it remove it?
Bought some clay today, but got hungry and ate a bit of it
This a factory rep watching circular rubbing on clay bar?

Always, back and forth straight motion !!!
HI
The best ever is to use Bilt Hamber clay fr the 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 with w/an addendum ? thx Jack
The circular motion does seem right. Chemical Guys video shows up and down.
Very cool
How often should you clay bar a car? Once a year? Twice a year?
The right side had Mad visible streaks and swirls, how do you avoid that?
Anytime you clay you have to polish w a DA polisher using polish or compound and polish. Part of the process
If you drop the clay bar, use it to clay your lawn mower's cutting deck!
Can you use the SPEED CLAY 2.0 ON WINDSHIELD?
Lube and back and forth motion, don't forget a towel.
What are we talking about?!
I got a car that has been sitting under a tree for five yrs or so. I have washed the car with a pressure washer and still there are black spots. I have tried 3 different auto soaps and they do not work. I even tried dish soap, it did do a little better job but still the black spots are still there. So I tried a microfiber towel and it did nothing. So I tried a green scrubbing pad that damn thing took some of the paint off. Never tried clay before, never even heard of it. Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome. Years ago I bought a brand new truck. After about the first year I thought I would clean it up wash and wax it. I go to the auto parts store and tell the guy I need something to take off the dead bugs on the front of the truck. He sold me some purple looking cleaner. I mixed it with water and kept it wet. And it was looking good. I rinsed it off with a pressure washer several times. It was looking good. About a week later the paint started pealing off. Strange thing I took it back to the dealership and the guy took one look at it and said. Yeah, we have had trouble with that paint pealing off. So I am not sure if it was something I did or if it was just bad paint. Perhaps both.
If it's brand new then warranty should repaint the car... I'm not buying your story.
@@robertlopez616 I have no reason to lie. As I said we bought it new and it was about a year later when I tried to detail it. That was back in 94/95 we traded it in years ago.
Exact same thing happened to my Buick.
@@robertlopez616 it’s not brand new. It was sitting under a tree for 5 years. Mine happened without sitting under a tree but lack of care. I’m chemically decontaminating now. Then I’ll clay. It’s working. Thanks to PAN the organizer who’s channel is helping me.
Dallas paint correction does not recommend using a spray wax using spray wax.
Do you apply wax after clay bar or is the detailer all that's needed?
Why can’t you use the yellow clay bar during a wash? Why does it need to be fully washed and dried?
Will the clay bar take off the white particles of waxing
It would be nice if you laid out the process step by step. 1) wash & dry the car 2) use clay bar & detailer 3) rinse & dry 4) apply wax 5) remove wax 6) polish?
Joe Nocella wash and dry car and then use detailer and clay bar and then wipe detailer off. Don’t need to dry it twice like that
Is the instant detailed a lube or do they sell something else for it
Why can’t you buy JUST the clay bar from Mothers?
Bet these guys have had some wings at Hooters together
I am concerned about using the clay while washing the car. Doesn’t the washing process leave contamination while you clay bar it? I would prefer completely cleaning and then using this. Just my opinion
Always safer to wash before you do anything. It's laborious, but just feels right. I do this twice a year... takes a long time for sure:
-Wash
-Turtle Wax Bug & Tar remover as needed, wet popsicle stick for the stuborn spots
-wash
-clay bar as needed (not recommend to do this every time as it's abrasive)
-wash
Klasse sealant
Collinite wax
Would you use a degreasing soap or any regular soap?
To strip the wax use a good degreasing soap like Dawn before you clay.
When you Clay the car do you have to wash it again
Wax after
I have to use the Speed Clay because I'm somewhat clumsy and I will drop the regular clay on the ground.😞
Will this clay remove dried white roadway paint?
in the beginning the one guy says water is not enough and to use the Mothers spray lubricant(sales)yet later in the video, he introduces the Mothers clay 2.0 and says you can use it while washing your car . . . ..??
with soap silly.
Have seen previously to move w/clay back and forth not circular! Otherwise good clip. Thank you.
Those swirl marks you induced damn
Does it remove tree sap?
How often should I clay my truck? And how often should I use mirror shine?
clay only if you need to.
People need to realized that clay is an abrasive to clear coat, so if you don't use it properly, you can screw up your paint more than it was. Don't use clay at every wash, use SHIT TONS of lubrication (not just water), and move in straight motions to reduce the chance of additional swirls. If you run the clay in linear movements, you will see less scratching than if you do circular motions. That's not even an opinion. When you run in straight lines, the light reflecting off the scratches (the reason you see them in the first place) will be a lot less noticeable than if you go in circular motions. A lot of detailers will tell you that you should expect to polish your paint after so many clay sessions for the reasons I stated above, it is an abrasive.
So true dude. Advoid claying in a circular motion absoblutly stupid of these guys to market this way. And whenever i clay i buff simple as that. Your basically scratching the paint so
