Will Clay Bar Damage Car Paint?

[VanJudah]

When used correctly, clay bars will not damage car paint. They are composed of ultra-fine fibers and solid adhesives that undergo repeated intensive mixing, giving them characteristics of being fine and sticky. Clay bars should be used with clean water or lubricant. Before cleaning the car body, rinse off surface dust and dirt with water. Knead the clay bar into an appropriate size and shape, then evenly spray clean water or lubricant on both the area to be cleaned and the clay bar. Use your hand to guide the clay bar in orderly back-and-forth motions across the cleaning area. If the clay bar leaves marks on the car, it may be due to excessive pressure, insufficient lubrication, a dirty clay bar surface, poor wrapping ability, or large particles on the paint surface.
