Chemical Guys, Heavy Duty Clay Bar for Paint Prep & Decon, Black, 100 g

Everything good

Nice

My vehicle was covered in overspray when a building was repainted near my parking area. I tried a fine nankin clay sponge and the Meguiar's regular clay from their clay bar kit, both of which removed some of the paint but left the majority of it. This CG heavy clay removed all of the overspray after going over each panel twice with a fair amount of pressure. However, due to the clay being a heavy composition, be prepared to induce marring and light scratches to the surface. My vehicle is a '17 WRX, which is known for having soft paint, but the marring was quite significant. Fortunately I expected that result, and the claying step was in preparation prior to machine polishing and applying a ceramic coating. All of the defects were able to be removed using a medium pad with M205. So, I would only use this clay as a last resort if finer grades are not removing your contamination.

Works extremely well I had a horrible oil based paint overspray from a construction job all over my F350 this clay bar worked extremely well getting it off!!

Works great on heavily neglected paint. BEWARE: THIS WILL INDUCE MARRING AND LIGHT SCRATCHING ON DARKER COLORED PAINT, IF IT IS SUCCESSFULLY PULLING HEAVY CONTAMINATES FROM YOUR PAINT! SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT MARK THIS PRODUCT DOWN BECAUSE IT CAUSED YOU TO SCRATCH YOUR BEAUTIFUL BLACK PORSCHE. This is more or less a specialty clay for really bad, old, neglected paint. So if you are using this clay bar on paint, you are 99% guarenteed to be following this with a polish or light compound. Chances are, if it's this bad to start with - you're gonna need to polish it out anyways. I follow a black-clay job with Chemical Guys V38 or V36. Something. Also be sure to clean, knead, and dispose of this properly. It's hard to see dirt because of it's color, so be mindful of this. Simple procedures will give you good results. But expect to be polishing or at least using a paint cleaner afterwards to get rid of find scratches. I also want to point out that this works WONDERFUL when claying glass. No you will not scratch your glass. It handles rocks at freeway speeds, sand, the sun, acid rain, everything else - bird crap, sap, leaves, whatever. It could care less about the clay. In fact I use old no-longer-for-paint use clay when I am washing a vehicle on glass. Recycling old materials is always a good idea! Cost effective way of removing light water spotting and contamination. Glass cleaner and car-washing will *not* remove sap and bonded contaminates from glass, but this will. This is what gives glass that silky smooth feel again. Heavy water etching will need heavy treatment, such as a dedicated glass polish. But this with your soapy water will remove 99% of whatever is on your glass.

Great for overspray, especially on glass.

Bought to remove overspray from a rust repair paint job I did. I have bought lots of chemical guys clay bars, but only the light and medium (blue and gray) bars in the past. I love those, but I honestly was not that impressed with this "heavy duty" clay. It seems really stiff and hard to knead compared to the lighter stuff, and didn't seem to remove many more impurities. I didn't notice any marring, but it was on pretty rough new clear so I can't be sure about that one.

Highly recommend. Had overspray get all over my truck from construction site. These clay bars worked great. Now my paint is smooth again. Definitely lot of work.

Now my 🚗 shine like new. thanks to chemical guys clay bar.

Desde el primer segundo se nota lo "Heavy duty", sorprendentemente no note arañazos derivados del uso del producto, quizá el precio no sea el más atractivo pero en definitiva, cumple de sobra con lo que promete

Top. Die beste die ich bisher hatte

We moved across country last year and learned they have an irritating way of "resurfacing" the roads here. Normally they'll either fill in potholes, or rip up and replace the road, right? Not here! They just dumped a bunch of asphalt and let the traffic tamp it down for them. The result was a horrific mess of black tar all over my white car! I bought the heavy duty clay bar as I knew it'd be a tough job, and though it did take a lot of work/rubbing, almost everything did come out. There was a small area of tar and yellow road paint in one of the wheel wells that didn't fully come out, but it's still much better. The picture really doesn't do it justice/the difference was far more stark in person, but you get the idea! Edit to add: The comments that complain about the clay smearing on the paint - yes, that can happen, though I found it tended to happen when I was feeling a bit low on luber. It also wipes right off if you just rub the clay bar over it again, so it's really not a big deal!

It's not the best clay bar I've ever used, but it does the job. I had to remove grey fence paint from my already chalky, white car paint and unfortunately the black and stickiness of this product fights you and tries to stick to the paint rather than slip over it, and yes that's even when thoroughly wet. While the new age kids think using a clay bar is for debris removal or smoothing paint (that's not what clay bars are for), this item won't do that. Unless it's just the batch I received; it sticks/grips to the paint too much.
