Clay bar too harsh?

[Doozer]

Hi Folks

I have the older adams blue clay bar. It worked fantastic on my Superduty truck. However my wife's Infinity's CC is a lot softer and the bar dulls it up pretty bad. I had heard there are different degrees of harshness. Is there a less harsh bar then the blue? Trying to remove severe water spots.

 

Thanks

Mike

The new Adam's Made in the USA clay bar is what you need!  It is a little milder than the previous clay they were allowed to sell.

Mike, You may have to polish to remove your water spots....... however clay is your first step.

The blue was still a fine grade bar so lots of marring would be very unusual. That being said, the bar had to be pretty old... we haven't sold a blue one for some time now. Theres a good chance it was old/dried out or just past its useful life (contaminated) and ready to be replaced.

Possibly. It worked very well on my Ford Truck but caused a dullness on my wife's car. It was old but the portion I used on her car was still unused and still wrapped in plastic. In any case I ordered a new one and expect that I still will have to polish out the remaining water spots. But man does her paint have a contaminant issue. It needs to be clayed bad!

 

I think she will be pleased when it's completed. Better then when she bought it.
