How to Remove Bonded Surface Contaminants
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA]
Claying is the process of removing bonded surface contaminants from your car that cannot be removed by washing alone and that need to be eliminated before the polishing process, using synthetic poly clay.
It works by gently pulling and lifting the bonded contaminants off the surface which then become encapsulated in the clay.
A detailing spray, or designated clay lube is used to lubricate the surface to prevent the clay bar from inflicting damage as it is drawn across the surface.
The Process
One panel at a time is worked and once the clay has picked up contaminants it can be folded and remolded to reveal a fresh, clean surface and prevent any contaminants being drawn over the surface.
Claying is primarily used to remove bonded contaminants from the paintwork of your car but can also be used on glass, metal and other parts of your car depending on the grade of the clay being used.

You should clay your car if you are looking to achieve the best possible results. The depth of shine and reflection of a polished and waxed vehicle may be compromised if bonded surface contaminants have not been removed. It is important to clay your car before polishing because if the contaminants are picked up during the polishing process they may be drawn over the surface inflicting light scratches and swirl marks.
It is also important to ensure bonded contaminants are removed because they will act to attract and accumulate other dirt and debris and if left bonded to the surface for a long enough period of time may even weaken the paintwork underneath.

Should you try pay-as-you-drive insurance?
Dr. Marcinko – I really enjoy your visibly impactful automobile posts.
And, did you know that there are good arguments for – and against – usage-based car insurance?

Working at the Carwash – Nay!
Dr. Marcinko – I always avoid the gas station car wash. Why?
An automatic car wash may seem quick and convenient, but it’s unlikely to look after your Jaguar or other luxury vehicle.
Some car washes may actually damage your car’s paint work, and at a comparably cheap price, they cannot use products that are good for your luxury auto.
Washing and detailing your car carefully by hand is always going to give you the best finish and protection.

Wax the car’s paint work – and seal it!
Protective wax provides a barrier between the paint work and any dirt or grime. Good wax can also help avoid paint chips from debris on the road.
There are lots of different types of wax on the market, but many dealers recommend carnauba wax, which produces a deep shine. You will need to re-apply the wax every eight to twelve weeks, but the finish is truly outstanding.
Other products include sealants, which offer more protection, but do not have quite such an attractive, shiny finish. Sealant lasts much longer than car wax, however, and you need only apply it once every six months.
