Clay bars are literally clay with some abraisive compounds added in. It functions like a polish, removing surface oxidants etc.

Don't clay too much. It's an abraisive.

After you clay, you should protect with a wax.

Its really not an all day thing, Clay should take about 20min, then use some cleanr/polish, then wax about another 2 hours...

Thanks again everyone

Black is the best color when it's clean but after going out a few times. It just gets dirty too damn quick.
