Clay Bar treatment
I tried one of those clay bar treatments yesterday and I have to say it works great and it was also easy to do!

Yep, I do it once a year on my daily driver and the paint looks fantastic. Follow it up with some Zaino and it will be amazing.

No better way to smooth the paint before carnuba.

The product works great. I'm a auto body/painter, so be careful.
1- choose a known company as there's cheap knock-offs.
2- make sure you wash the car first, to get most debris off the paint.
3- use good microfiber towel's.

Clay bar with water/ little Dawn blue dishwashing soap.
Then Zaino.
You will never go back, ever.

I have excellent results using Griot's Speed Shine with their clay bar. Be sure to stop swiping the clay across the surface as soon as you feel the slightest drag. Re-lubricate the surface and continue. Repeated swipes over an area rarely make the surface smoother-one is usually enough. Work small areas at a time and always wipe the surface free of lubricant before moving on.

I agree, that you can also use a spray detail wax for lubrication, instead of water.

I'm another Zaino fan. I use a squirt bottle with a cap full of car wash soap, then fill to the top with water. This solution works well to keep the paint surface lubricated while using a clay bar. And it is a cheap solution to make...

I don't care for the use of car wash soap, as it can dry unless you're working fast and keep the surface wet. The spray instant wax is not an issue, fast & safe. Especially if you have hard water, as it will put on some of the chemicals you're trying to get off with the clay bar.
