Erase clay bar should only ever be used on the paint surface after you have removed as much contamination with the chemical products first, this massively reduces the potential to inflict damage to your paint.

A Clay Bar allows a user to remove particles that are either stuck to the surface or are trapped in microscopic gaps of the surface. The clay itself will actually become dirty over time and needs to be used with care. After claying, the surface should feel smooth, leaving a deeply cleaned surface. Further cleaning can be needed to achieve a perfectly clean surface.
How Is A Clay Bar Used
Its recommended to use clay in combination with Clay Lube.This is a specially formulated liquid that helps the clay to glide over the paintwork, minimizing the risk of creating marring or any paint damage. The clay-lube is sprayed on the surface and the user rubs the clay over the wet surface. In many cases, it is enough to wipe a certain area once, but it can be needed to wipe an area more times to clean properly. After an area is done, the clay-lube can be rinsed off or wiped off.
