Clay Bar Life span?

[CWBowen]

How do you tell when it's time to pitch the clay? I just started using it and I tore off about 1/3 to use so how much life should I expect?

When you fold it in on itself a few times, stretch it out, work it back to a pancake and the bar still looks dirty, its time to pitch it.

I know it depends on how dirty the car is, but in your experience how long have you been able to use the same piece?

Just depemds probably 4 to 5 cars i am guessing.

After I stop using the clay on my paint (I agree - probably 4 -6 vehicles), I save a piece or two and use it only on the wheels. I just keep it in a zip-lock baggie (for wheels only).

That's a good idea. An older bar can also be put to use around the house, too, for things like cleaning glass shower doors. Your spouse will love you.

If you use the old used claybar on shower doors, do you just use soap and water as a lube?

You can also use APC.

Not saying a clay bar doesn't work, but hands down the best thing for glass shower doors............a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. And if it's real bad, spray a little CLR on the glass beforehand. Be sure to rinse after use though.

I go by looks. Whenever it is looking dingy or has dirt in it it goes down the line. It ether becomes glass clay or wheel clay.
