Paint contamination can not be removed by washing, waxing and/or polishing. Clay bars were developed in Japan in the early 1990's that removed paint contamination by "pulling" it off the surface. These bars were not abrasive and did not remove any of the top paint layer. These bars were brought to the United States where they have been constantly evolving and improving. BLACKFIRE PolyClay II is the latest in clay technology. The PolyClay Bars and Clay Lubricant in this Clay and Polish Kit will QUICKLY and SAFELY remove all manner of paint contamination and make gritty, rough and bumpy paint smooth as glass. These clay bars will not scratch or remove your car's paint or clear coat finish.
Clay bars are easy to use.
Simply mist a 2 to 3 sq. ft area of paint with Clay Lubricant and gently massage the bar over the surface. At first, the bar will "grab" the surface but after a few passes it will glide smoothly. When the bar glides smoothly, you're done. Wipe off any residues with a Microfiber cloth (included in the kit) and continue to clay the next section. There are more detailed instructions included with the kit but this is basically how easy it is to clay your car's finish.
Does your car need to be clayed?
Clay bars will not remove oxidation (dull paint), swirls, scratches, spots or blemishes. While some people apply a wax or sealant after claying their car, they are missing an important step. After claying the finish, you should take the time to apply a polish. Now that the surface is free of paint contamination, polishing will improve surface gloss, create a more liquid-like finish and help hide any remaining swirls and blemishes.
We had dozens of excellent polishes to choose from and selected BLACKFIRE Gloss Enhancing Polish to compliment this kit. Gloss Enhancing Polish is two products in one. It is both a polish and a glaze. In one wipe-on/buff-off application, it makes the surface more mirror-like to maximize light reflection (shine), "wets" the surface to create the illusion of paint being under water and fills minor swirls, spots and imperfections to make them less noticeable.
One 8 oz clay bar will treat up to 20 vehicles.

After polishing, apply your favorite wax or paint sealant. We like BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond, All Finish Paint Protection (not included) as a top coat but the choice is up to you. Don't forget to wear sunglasses because your car's paint is going to be mirror-smooth and shine like the dickens!
