:scratch: I was wondering, should I clay bar my mustang when it comes in, or are clay bars more for cars that have been around a while? Being a brand new car, would the mustang really have that many contaminants on the paint? Thanks.

 

Clay bars are for any car. Just make sure its been thoroughly washed before you use it. Most new cars have some form of rail dust on them.

 

:bang: You'd be suprised how much "rail dust" and other crap is on a NEW car. I clay'd after the car was only 3 weeks old and made a HUGE difference. I say Clay early and you know where you are.

Here's a quick test. Wash and dry the car. Put a cheap sandwich bag over your hand and lightly rub the surface of your car. If it's smooth you're O.K; if it drags and feels rough ... clay. Then use your favorite product to protect. I prefer Zaino system; but Meguiar's is good, less expensive and readily available.

 

Mine was less than 45 days old and I was totally amazed at the amount of stuff the clay bar removed. And boy was it worth it.

Used Mothers bar as it was all they had. It will be a once a year event for sure...

 

Same here, I used it on mine. I had it for a couple of months. But I still got a lot of crap on the bar when I was done.
