Chemical Guys Clay Bar Kit, Medium Duty with Luber Synthetic Lubricant – Removes Embedded Dirt, Restores Smooth Paint, Preps for Wax and Sealant - Safe for Cars, Trucks, SUVs, 16 oz, 2 Items

My car care experience started in the Rain Dance/Simoniz era of the 70s, where all you knew was hours of hard labor. Wax on wax off, rub rub rub, get another towel, check it again oh crud there's still more wax to remove, you know the drill. Fast forward to the modern era... I ventured into using clay bars about a decade ago, a spray detailer/clay bar kit from Mothers impulse buy at Walmart. I repurchased the same product a couple of times and though was happy with it I felt it was time to try something new. The reviews on this product were enough to tip me away from Mothers and the results are tremendously different. Application and usage is generally the same with all of these products. Mist an area, rub with light pressure back and forth. Microfiber towel dry. Smash the bar and flatten. Repeat. I could tell a *noticeable* difference in the feel of the car surface but I wasn't sure it was real or my imagination. I was planning to wax both cars so I did a quick test. I had some Mothers left over so I used that on the hood of one car and Chemical Guys on the other. Sure as heck it was different! The CG application felt smoother and more glossy. I did another test gently gliding a clean and dry microfiber towel across both surfaces. The Mothers surface glide did ok but had some resistance. The CG surface glide resulted in the towel sliding right off the hood and onto the floor! I'm sold! I use Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Spray Wax 2.0. I know... it's not ceramic but for me it's easy without the PTSD memories of the 70s. Just wipe a very thin layer on and let 'er dry. It worked great over the top of the CG clay bar application. Easy on and easy off. The results are amazing. Both cars just sparkle! The best part was that I did both cars (Outback and Forester) in about 4 hours, and most of that time was waiting for the wax to dry. And I'm not wiped out! With less labor and a reasonable time commitment, I find that I wax the cars more than once a year. Anyway... thanks for reading my review this far. So here's a little present for you... a dad car joke: What do you get when dinosaurs crash their cars? Tyrannosaurus wrecks. YUK YUK Have a blessed day!

Makes Your Paint Feel Like Glass Again The Chemical Guys Medium Duty Clay Bar and Luber Kit is one of those products that really delivers on its promise. I used it on a daily driver that sits outdoors year-round and had years of built-up grime and fallout baked into the paint. After washing, I could feel the roughness on the surface—almost like fine sandpaper. One careful pass with this clay and lubricant combo changed that completely. The paint became slick and smooth to the touch, the kind of finish that makes water bead effortlessly once waxed. The clay bar itself has the perfect balance—soft and pliable, yet dense enough to pull contaminants like tree sap, tar, and brake dust without falling apart or sticking. The included Clay Luber works very well; it provides enough glide that the bar never drags or mars the surface. The kit smells pleasant (a clean, synthetic scent), and a single bar is plenty for multiple vehicles if you keep folding it to expose fresh surfaces. I used it on paint, glass, and even chrome trim—all came out smooth and clean. It’s an excellent prep step before polishing or applying ceramic sealant. For older cars, the difference in gloss is immediate once you finish a panel. Tips: Always use generous lubricant and work small sections. If the clay gets dropped, discard it immediately—it’ll pick up grit from the ground. Store the bar in a resealable bag with a light mist of lube to keep it soft for future use. Bottom line: an essential detailing kit that removes years of embedded grime and restores that “new car” smoothness. Easy to use, great value, and a noticeable upgrade for anyone serious about maintaining their vehicle’s finish.

Over a period of time, my car developed a sticky residue and no matter what I did, it would not get better. I washed, stripped, and waxed but nothing worked. I finally ended up buying this clay bar kit and as I was using it, I could feel the surface getting smoother. After waxing the car, it looks brand new and no more sticky feel. It is quite labor intensive, but well worth it.

This is my first experience with a clay bar and lube, so take this for what it's worth. This product did a really could job of salvaging an old single stage paint job. I used Chemical Brothers Butter wax right afterward and my truck looks maybe the best it has ever looked since it was new. The instructions were clear and straightforward and I was able to get my money's worth out of this combo. My only complaint is that, about halfway through my job, the clay bar became laden with the lube. The result was that the bar's consistency changed to very tacky, and would stick to my hands very easily. It took serious effort to unstick it from my hands, and I had to do this often and regularly. Simply pulling it off my hands would stretch it out in to a very web-like state, that required even more effort to reform it. My truck of course is bigger than the average vehicle or a little sports car, so perhaps the bar was used for longer than it was intended to be used. I'm not sure. Still, it continued working just as well as it did in the first place. I used the lube very liberally and still have about half left. Good for cleaning my car at least. I just hope that the clay bar is good for multiple uses after it has dried out.

Their products are top notch. I have used them on new vehicles and old rods. Excellent products.

Helps take out the water spots

Easy to use and works like a charm, definitely wash the vehicle before using though!

Tengo un Suzuki swift blanco y unos inconcientes pintaron una estructura de color rojo junto a mi auto,, quedó todo brizeado de rojo siendo blanco mi auto, compre este producto viendo unas reseñas en Youtube de como quitar la pintura,, compre el kit con la arcilla gris o media, porque la negra o heavy, se tardaba más en llegar,, pero me sirvió bastante bien, quito todo a excepto del vidrio que no quito del todo pero eso pudo haber sido por mi nula experiencia,, solo dos advertencias, usen guantes porque mancha la arcilla, y segunda si tienen un auto sedan grande o camioneta consideren comprar un líquido lubricante extra, ya que a mí me quedo 20 ml de líquido, alcance muy apenas, eso sí de arcilla me quedo 1/4 y guarde el resto para un futuro. Excelente marca

Facile d utilisation , le lubrifiant est très efficace . Un peu sur la surface et sur l argile fait le travail L argile Enlève bien les résidus et uniformise la surface avant le polissage

Lo compré para retirar unas gotas de pintura que estaban incrustadas sobre la superficie de mi vehículo, Estaba un poco incrédulo sobre la eficacia del producto pero quede maravillado al ver el resultado final. No solo retiro la gotas de pintura, también le dio a la superficie un acabado suave y brillante.

Le lubrifiant fait super bien le travail et sent très bon, j'ai fait u voiture entière et le niveau dans la bouteille a baissé de 10% grand max. La clay bar est aussi très efficace et une belle tenue en main, ne tombe pas facilement même lubrifiée. Je recommande.

I would totally recommend this product it worked very well , the only reason for 4 stars I'd that the clay bar is much smaller than it looks otherwise it's a great product
