HOW TO CLAY YOUR CAR:
To begin you will need to make sure you have a high quality lubricant or a quick detailing spray. We recommend Pinnacle Clay Lubricant for a slick and easy work surface or Meguiar’s #34 Final Inspection for low friction cleaning. You’ll want to work one section at a time in approximately a two square foot area. Spray the surface with the lubricating spray and manipulate the clay bar to a shape that is comfortable to grasp in your hand (I prefer roughly the shape of a hockey puck). Work the surface, rubbing in a back and forth motion. The clay will feel like it is grabbing at the surface. This is normal and a key indicator that the clay is doing the job properly. When you no longer feel the drag and the clay glides fluidly across the area, the surface is clean. Wipe off any residues with a lint free cloth.

PROTECTING YOUR NEW FINISH:
The smooth as glass surface you’ve achieved with Meguiar’s Professional Detailing Clay is the optimal base for a coat (or two) of your favorite sealant or wax. Don’t skip this crucial step—the clay removed EVERYTHING from the surface, including old protection. Meguiar’s Hi-Tech Paste Wax, Pinnacle Souveran™ Paste Wax or Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 are all excellent choices for long-lasting protection and high resolution shine. (For the ultimate appearance of your finish, clay, polish then protect!)

Remember, claying is easy and fun! What’s more, you simply can’t beat the results! So whether your a die-hard car care fanatic or have never tried your hand at clay applications before, you’ll find Meguiar’s Professional Detailing Clay easy to work with and highly effective.

CARING FOR THE CLAY:
The jar contains one 200 gram (7 oz.), specially formulated, non-abrasive clay bar that safely lifts away contaminants. Each will clean up to three cars. Remember, if you drop the clay to the floor, discontinue use. Ground contamination can scratch your paint, so it is vital to work with clean clay. If your car was badly contaminated, pay attention to the surface of the clay; should you see sizable particles that could scratch your finish, shave off the used portion and continue. After use (if the clay is still acceptably clean), spray it with clay lube to keep it moist and store your opened clay in a plastic bag. When you are ready to clay again, simply knead the clay to expose a fresh surface.
