Mothers Clay Bar

I got some overspray from painting going on at my work so I bought the Mother's clay bar pack.

 

OH, MY GAWD! My truck is so smooth, it's sexy smooth. I never knew paint could be so smooth.

 

Now I'm clayed and waxed and telling everyone to CLAY YOUR TRUCK! - IT WILL THANK YOU!

 

Just my $0.02

I know what you mean....did mine about 3 weeks ago. The hood, roof and tops of the bed were the only thing that I could really tell a big difference on.

 

Makes you wish more things in this world could be that smooth! :seeya::seeya:

You guys think it'd be worth it to clay a 1994?

 

My paint is in good shape, and with a good wax job, it comes out pretty glossy.

I say sure...it doesn't so much help the shine, just makes it smooth...which I guess would help the shine. :chevy::jester:

You should definitely try it at least once. I did it on my 10 year old car and it blew my mind how much it smoothed out. Doesn't do a lot for shine. But it will make you grin as you lay down the wax. I kept feeling up my truck's paint every time I walked by it!

I did mine about a month ago for the first time and was blown away with the results and ease of use of the clay.

 

It is so smooth it's just hard to believe. I find myself touching it everytime I walk past it too.

Did mine last night and i couldn't stop touching it as well! you've got to love the clay bar, plus its not too hard if you keep up on your paint. I found this out once i tried my dads 99' rado which has never been waxed. that thing took forever!!

I clay My 90 and the guy before me had only the silver painted and since my truck is red/silver the red comes out like the day it rolled off the lot... :D

When you use the clay bar do you have to remove the old wax first or do you go right over top of it?

 

 

 

The clay bar takes it off. Just make sure you apply a coat of wax after you clay your truck.

 

 

Wax on, wax off. :fume:

I know that this is an old thread, and since I know that everyone will tell me what clay bars work best and then I prob. won't end up any better off, can you tell me what to stay away from, and what method works best?

I have only tried Mothers and TurtleWax ICE and I didnt like the ICE.

I did my wifes truck with the Mothers and LOVED it, saw the infomercial on the ICE and

thought it would be good or better than the Mothers....WRONG.

 

I did half my hood with both and you could feel the difference easily, Mothers is way better.

 

Was easy to use and I did 2 cars with it, well one small truck and car.

 

Just follow the directions and it included the wax for after claying it....VERY NICE.

I think it was wash truck, spray on liquid and rub with clay bar, wipe off and wax....very easy

I apparently have some clear coat over spray on my Yukon windshield. What is the best way to remove the over spray? Will the clay bar do well on glass also?

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
