Is there a specific technique for claybar?
For example, how does not claybar? With one hand holding a hose with water coming out and clar bar or just make sure there is soap on the car and clay bar and what... no idea..
And in some stores there is the 99 brand or something like that which say that they have two types of clar bar... one for ebony and one for ivory. (Or is it one for the blacks and the other for the ang moh?) According to the brand... black car use one type and white or lighter colours use another.. got such thing?

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!
one hand hold a spray bottle either with a detailer or a diluted shampoo, zaino z-7 etc.. lubricate the area first, then as u clay, keep spraying to lubricate the surface generously. the clay should glide over the paintwork easily and smoothly, if you feel that there's resistance or the clay is sticking to the paintwork, u need to lubricate it more, otherwise it would scratch. some little "bumps" is normal as it means the clay is picking up dirt...but the overall gliding should be very 'slippery'.
check for dirt on the clay every now and then, and fold it over when it starts to get dirty. if you drop it, chuck it, dun reuse.
as for 99, not very sure as i have never tried it. the zaino one works pretty well for me...

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!
Apart from using spray bottle, another way is to use your wash mitt to gently wipe the panel den clay the area with the shampoo solution left behind. There are different aggressive level of clay bars and both soft99 clay bars that you mention are least aggressive and suitable for frequent usage..

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!
Thanks for all the inputs, everyone!
Recently, saw got 3m clay bars.
But I am curious as to why the soft99 has one clay bar I think for dark cars the other is for light cars? Why the distinction? When u glide it.. the car won't know the difference nor how different is the composition of the colours?

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!
depends on what brands you are looking for.. carrefour u can probably get meguair's, which is quite overrated in my opinion. zaino u can try DiyGurus or autorage. i get mine from diygurus because it's more convenient for me. as for the more premium waxes, it's more limited in singapore. swissvax probably only car-do, zymol bronze-carman/carworks etc.. good way would be to go A world for detailers... and check out what the people use and what might work for you. then set out to look for that product. otherwise you would look lost just standing in front of those shelves and not knowing what to look out for specifically. my 2 cts..

Re: Look here if u like shiny black car!
2nd installment!!
thanks to Darryl aka adroit who is a a now retired detailer from R2D who sell me his wax and gave me some of his goodies.
started with hosing down the car
water beading from my previous wax
2 wash buckets with grit guard is used.
shampooing the car with sheepskin wash mitt , used two one for the upper body and one for the lower body.
wheels are cleaned with EZ detail wheel brush and a sponge
car is then dried with super plush thick and absorbent drying towel ( same one used by paul dalton )
tire shined and dressed with hi glaze tire shine.
freshly cleaned car
cleaner fluid is used next to clean surface contaminants and remove old wax. claying is not needed as paint surface were smooth and was groomed 2 months back at the dealership. amazing feel of the cleanerfluid . squeaky clean feeling , and it smells kinda like hazelnut.
and finally... the Zymol ital.
interior is then cleaned with poltrona frau's care kit , the pelle frau with cleaner and conditioner.
interior shots
no sun shots yet... will do it tommorow :2thumbsup:

OMG Terry, the way you detailed your ride is superb man!!! I have not seen even pro groomer did such detailed work!!! This is love and passion man
I am using Zaino products for washing and waxing, I need at least 3hrs+shag out+backache already... Btw, where did you get the EZY detail wheel brush??? I can't find such long brush in the market...
