@mhammarq it is the ONLY correct way of saying it… english-english!
@ilovevideos1992 Tyre is the British English way of spelling the word.

you spelled (TIRE) wrong
nice one bud
Best rim/tire clean video. 5/5
Right
agreed
These guides are so superior to a lot of the rubbish on youtube. Finally car tips that are to that point and easy to follow.
@SammerJammer No you want to use the spray detailer (spray wax) as your lube, not water.
In the beginning you say that the paint surface should be dry, why does that matter? Wouldn’t a little water left over from washing help with lubrication?
@Ripzta13B Yes you can use smaller pieces. It depends on how much contamination is on the paint as to the size of area you can clay. If the car is pretty good and you are not getting much dirt/grime on the clay I would clay a med/large bonnet in 4 sections, if it is pretty bad and your clay is turning very brown & dirty then I would divide the bonnet into smaller areas maybe 8 sections and turn the clay much more frequently

@Ripzta13B A large clay 200g can usually be split into 2 or 3 pieces so 60 to 100 grams. It depends how contaminated the bar gets and how much it changes colour. Once it looks dirty and older use it for clay barring your glass, sills or rims and then take a new piece the next time you need to clay the paint
Is it ok to split the clay into smaller pieces for individual panels?
How much grams of clay is enough for a whole car and when should you use a new piece?
You just need to wash the car with a good shampoo and dry as normal.
When claying the car you will need to spray on a quality clay lube. After you can simply wipe this off using a microfibre cloth
What do you use to clean the car before applying the clay bar?
