Clay Bar
#32
Used the bottle that came with it and kept it plenty wet. I read and re-read tryin to figure out what I was doin wrong. I just finally came to the conclusion that with no wax on the truck the bar doesn't work so well. I washed the truck down and dried it but at that time it had never had any wax used on it. That's different now though, it got it's first coat of wax last year after all that while I was tryin to get the clay streaks off of it.

So what did I do wrong with this clay bar. I tried it last year and it was a mess. I washed and dried then used the clay bar on the hood. The bar just kept dragging and left skid marks everywhere that I had to scrub forever on to get rid of. I don't remember all the details but I followed the directions and had no luck with it.

I always have one hell of a time waxing my hood , I think its because its hot / Stays hot longer than the rest of the truck ,
I finally gave up on it cause i hate waiting and i use the ICE on my hood and Old School Arm Breaking Wax on the rest of the truck
I dont wax my roof ...So Kill me

Sounds like me, but I do the hood and roof too. Good old Turtle Wax. Ice only works good for me on the black plastic.

I use the Mother`s California Gold clay bar kit , use plenty of the instant detailer for lubrication .
Do small areas at a time , change direction often....left to right...front to back....until you feel the clay bar slipping across that area freely .
Knead the clay bar often also...tear it apart and then compress it into a ball .
When done claying an area , spray some instant detailer on and wipe off with a clean towel .
I also do the windows and the windshield , tear off a small piece of clay and swipe the wiperblades , toss that piece away .
Apply wax or polish of choice.....it`s an all day job...stock up on beer .
