"best" claybar? So i went on a little vacation with my gf, gone for a week no big deal right?
yea except for that my SS was suddenly moved to the driveway becuse my sister came and stayed wiht us and her god damn mustang needed grage space....
so ive got hard water spots covering pretty much every inch of my car... and washing it about 5 times didnt get 1/4 of them off
so im going to break down and clay it tomorrow but what setup works best? ive never really done this before so any help would be appreciated...
thanks

just make sure you use lots of lube, work with only a cool surface, and DON'T drop the clay bar ..

That's fine and dandy, but you can't buy claymagic at any auto parts stores here (that I have seen). I stick to Meguiar's because its readily available. I'm not going to pay to ship a damn claybar.

Now it's sold at Auto Zone, and it's all I use.

Be sure to wrap it in a plastic bag afterwards.

I bought the Mother's package that came with some spray, and the spray sucked. Just use soap+water with the bar. The stuff they sell is supposed to wipe clear w/o washing the car after you've barred it, but that crap left a layer of film that was a pain to get off. The bar stuck to my hands, but to me thats good because I tend to drop only things that I should not drop.
Claybars are supposed to take off water spots, can't say I've had that problem myself though. For a few $ it couldn't hurt, and even if it didn't get all the water spots you're finish will still be nicer.

One thing that works nice w/ clay bar is using quick detailer by meguiars instead of using soap&water. Keeps the bar moving nicely and when it comes time to get the clay off, its as easy as heck. Just thought I'd add that tip. Enjoy
