Nanoskin - Best Clay Bar Ever?!?

10/4/2017

Clay bars have been used by car detailers for a long time, but this is the new revolution that is making traditional clay bars obsolete. Find out why these are better than your silly putty or Play Doh clay bars and also much cheaper!
Traditional clays bars usually look like a white piece of clay. That's pretty much what it is. It's very pure without any contaminants in it. The point of a clay bar is to remove small impurities within the car's exterior that cannot be normally washed off with soap and wiped off with a microfiber cloth. If you run your hand through the paint after a wash you may notice small bumps and indentations. That's exactly the purpose of a clay bar, to remove those impurities! Traditional clay bars have to be kneaded so that when it picks up dirt and grime, it will have to molded into a different edge of the brick so that you won't run those contaminants that you just picked up over your paint another time. That may be causing scratches.

The Nanoskin clay bar is made of a rubbery material that easily picks up those contaminants. However, be sure to run a lubricant over the surface or the clay bar will not work at all. Water is not a lubricant! I can highly recommend the 3D HD Touch for this exact purpose. The clay bar can be washed after use and it can be used multiple times. There's no need for kneading and it's cheaper than buying a lump of those traditional clay bars! 
These two bad boys up above were retailing for a bit over $10 each. I think it's quite reasonable considering that these clay bars can be used over and over. It's only when the surface starts to degrade, that's when you need to buy a new one. You can also accidentally drop it on the ground and wash it off without any issues unlike a traditional clay bar.

​The blue sponge is the fine grade and the red sponge is the medium grade. The fine grade is used for smaller particles or after the medium grade sponge is used first. I would just suggest the medium grade if you are just starting out. It really wouldn't hurt. Just be sure to use a lubricant on the paint first!
