Clay Eraser

Clay bars are commonly used in car detailing to remove contaminants from the surface of the paint. They are typically made of a synthetic clay material and are effective at picking up dirt, grime, and other particles that normal washing may not remove. Here are some general steps to use a clay bar (or clay eraser) for cars:

1. **Prepare the Surface:** Wash and dry the car to remove any loose dirt or debris from the paint surface.

2. **Lubricate:** Spray a detailing spray or clay lubricant on a small section of the car's paint. This lubricant helps the clay bar glide smoothly over the surface and prevents scratching.

3. **Clay Bar Application:** Flatten the clay bar into a small disc, then gently rub it back and forth over the lubricated area. The clay bar will pick up contaminants as it moves.

4. **Check the Clay:** Periodically check the clay bar to see if it has become dirty or contaminated. If so, fold it over to expose a clean surface or use a new section.

5. **Repeat:** Continue this process, working on small sections of the car at a time, until the entire vehicle has been treated with the clay bar.

6. **Final Steps:** Once you have clayed the entire car, rinse off any remaining lubricant and inspect the paint surface. You may proceed with polishing, waxing, or sealing for further protection and shine.

Remember to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the specific clay eraser or clay bar product you are using for the best results.
