For those with limited experience, clay bars are a WONDERFUL tool for car decontamination.

Just a quick warning - this is their "heavy duty" line and similar to polishes or other abrasives, you shouldn't use a more aggressive product than you need. Clay bars are not abrasive but can absolutely cause marring/scratching even with careful use.

If you have a heavily contaminated car, this is a great product. If you've clayed recently or have otherwise clean paint, I'd recommend a less aggressive variant. This would be great match for something like wheels, exhaust tips, someone already planning on heavy paint correction etc. I wouldn't choose this product as part of my normal maintenance routine.
I've only clayed a couple of cars, and briefly looked at the OP's product, but I'd much rather have a claybar that isn't black. The Meguiar's claybar kits are yellow, and it is much easier to tell if you have impurities (small rocks, other hard material) in the clay, and if it's time to toss it and get a new piece.
As for the spray, doesn't soapy wooder work just as well?

I have several items by Chemical Guys and would NOT buy anymore.

The microfiber get dirty and fall apart.

The citrus soap separated after a few months and is no longer very good.

The mits are okay but they are overpriced and comparable ones hold up just as well for less money .

Etc


I do not recommend this brand it is overpriced and does not last.

I used to use clay bars and they're wonderful for getting contaminants out of your paint. We're talking the micro stuff that you don't even know exists until you first clay a portion of your car and rub your hand over it and it's as smooth as a babies bottom.

That said, last time I was looking for a new clay bar and saw one on here, someone recommended Mother's Speed Clay as an alternate to traditional clay: https://www.amazon.com/Mothers-17...B01MPYDYWT It's essentially a rubber sponge that in my opinion is at least 90% as good as the real thing but about 10x faster to use and reusable by rinsing it off. I'll never go back. Just wanted to pass on the information. Nothing wrong with regular clay though.

I have a 13 year old car whose windshield needs some clay barring. Never done it before but my wipers are skipping despite replacing them and also wiping the blades down iwth isopropyl alcohol. My last attempt is going to be with a claybar after washing the windshield, cleaning with Spray Away glass cleaner and then clay barring it.

Is this too rough of a clay bar or do I need to look at something "softer?" The price is right at $13, otherwise I was planning on using some ONR as lubricant on a more expensive clay bar from Mother's or Meguiar's, or something like that.

It does work. I'd say it is not as slick as clay lube... but it works. Some complain that soap/water breaks down a clay bar.

Is this good to try to get whatever it is on my windshield off? I wash and squeegee the heck out of my glass, it is still retaining water and not beading/sliding off properly, something is on the windshield. What do you think.

I agree that the Mother's is much faster and easier to use. However, I would say 60-70% as effective as a regular clay bar. It depends on how much time you have.

Indeed. Just do another layer of soapy wooder after your initial wash and clay away. No need to pay for these overpriced clay sprays...

I like chemical guys products, but the last 2 order I received the sprayer on the spray bottle did not work. When I contacted CG, I got the run around. As petty as it sounds, its a pain in the ass when you can't use the product due to a cheap out on the applicator.

That being said, I have switched to Adam's Products

The package says 20 but I haven't tested it out. I only do the bar a couple times a year before waxes.

Skip the clay bar. That takes ages to use vs a chemical decontamination and nanoskin automitt.

I use to pay a lot of money for chemical decontamination products but found a $9.99 bottle of Meguiar's Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner does the same thing. Spray it on for 5 minutes, rise off. Then use the nanoskin or similar product. I can do an entire car in under 20 minutes usually. I bought two bottles of it yesterday at walmart for this very reason.
