What is a clay
bar treatment?
What is clay barring, and how does it help your car?
If you want to maintain your car’s shine and value, it is important to maintain your cars paint finish. This requires more than simply washing your car.
Over time, your paint will become contaminated with pollutants like road grime, tree sap, dust and bird droppings. Contaminates create a dull, faded appearance and this often does not come clean when you wash your car. Clay barring is a solution that will help to remove these contaminants and restore your paint’s shine.
Our techs at Mint Mobile Detail are trained to use a detailing clay to remove contaminants from your paint’s surface. The clay bar itself is a soft, malleable substance that can pick up particles without damaging your paint. Once the contaminants have been removed, a protective wax or coating can be applied to protect your paint from future damage.
How Often Do I need a Clay Bar Treatment?
In general, it’s a good idea to get a clay bar treatment at least twice a year. However, the frequency of your clay bar treatments may vary depending on a few factors that our Mint Mobile Detail techs will take into account when we detail your car.
If you drive in areas with lots of pollution, industrial activity, or you park your car outside, you may need to get a clay bar treatment more often. Our techs and Mint Mobile Detail will monitor your paint’s condition to determine how often you need a clay bar treatment. If you finish appears dull or faded, or if you can feel a texture when you run your hand over it, it’s probably time for a treatment.
