|  Clay Bar'in Hi Guys, Bought a clay bar kit the other day and used it for the 1st time yesterday, never used one on any of my other cars. My word the outcome is amazing, once waxed the gar is just so shiney! Amazing how much cr@p comes off your car that you cant really see! Anyway my question is, how often should you clay bar your car? once a month / once a quarter / 2 times a year? Thanks

| Re: Clay Bar'in Once a year should do if you have a decent cleaning regime between.

| Re: Clay Bar'in Once every six months for me (spring and autumn) - when the car gets waxed. Last edited by bryand; 16-04-2007 at 22:14. |

| Re: Clay Bar'in Any recommendations for clay bars and good (online) places to buy? Last time I did it with a Halford's one, but my local store doesn't stock them any more! Thanks, Chris

| Re: Clay Bar'in I would also say 2 to 3 times a year, just remember that it will take any wax off with it aswell so polish and wax after claying.
