how much difference will the clay bar make on my car
I recommend the clay bar highly. Everything that has been said is true.
I got a 98 camaro and the previous owner didn't wash the car on a weekly basis, I assume. Because the car had developed tiny brown dirt spots. At one time I thought it was rust.
I then hear about the claybar in this website and I try it on the bumper where it feels like sandpaper and it removed the brown spots and left the bumper very smooth. I just haven't gotten around to do the whole car to fully remove the other brown dots.
Mothers clay bar is awsome.

Took the clay bar to mine a month ago. The car is dark blue so it made a huge difference. I did half the hood and did the "before and after" reflection check. Even without wax, my reflection was more crisp after removing the dirt, and then once I got it waxed I couldn't even set my polishing cloth on the hood because it wanted to slide off. It is also much easier to wash and it looks cleaner longer because the dirt doesn't have anything to stick to. After washing and drying your car, run your hand over your hood and it doesn't feel like clean glass (don't use your sandblasted windshield as a reference!), it needs clayed. You will be amazed at the results.
claybar is freaking amazing... we did it on my buddies white car... white cars benefit the most from clay barring.. if you look real close you can usually see little rust mark things... which if you didnt know is rail dust and metal shaving that lodge themselves into yur paint and then rust.. clar bar will take it ALL out.. my buddy also had some dingy shady spots on his paint on his door and stuff.. as well as under his gas door... surprisingly enough the clay bar also took those out!!
