Cleaning a clay bar

[Bexupnorth]

Anyone know how to get the damned things clean again after you've used them?

They are a one use bar.

Damn, that was expensive then! I only got the car done once, it was in a bad way though...

[spanishfly]

I retire old ones to wheel clay bars

[Jasovanooo]

you used a WHOLE bar in one wash? did you not clean the car first?

[Benn]

Spilt the bar up in to 3bits, each bit with last afew months of normal car cleaning.
Work the clay in your hands and the dirt will sink away from the surface.

ooops lmao

[Dexy]

eh, run it under a hot tap and knead it with your hands, the way ive always done it, i dont think clay bars are only for one use lmao

[Elite force1]

The clay bars are good for about ten uses. You just fold over the dirty bits a knead into the palm of your hand each time you use it on each panel.

As Benn says. Use smaller pieces & knead it as you use it so the contaminants disappear. My bar is 2 years old & only got 2/3rds of it left.
