Chemical Guys, Clay Bar & Luber Kit, Medium Duty, Paint Prep, 2-Piece Set

My car care experience started in the Rain Dance/Simoniz era of the 70s, where all you knew was hours of hard labor. Wax on wax off, rub rub rub, get another towel, check it again oh crud there's still more wax to remove, you know the drill. Fast forward to the modern era... I ventured into using clay bars about a decade ago, a spray detailer/clay bar kit from Mothers impulse buy at Walmart. I repurchased the same product a couple of times and though was happy with it I felt it was time to try something new. The reviews on this product were enough to tip me away from Mothers and the results are tremendously different. Application and usage is generally the same with all of these products. Mist an area, rub with light pressure back and forth. Microfiber towel dry. Smash the bar and flatten. Repeat. I could tell a *noticeable* difference in the feel of the car surface but I wasn't sure it was real or my imagination. I was planning to wax both cars so I did a quick test. I had some Mothers left over so I used that on the hood of one car and Chemical Guys on the other. Sure as heck it was different! The CG application felt smoother and more glossy. I did another test gently gliding a clean and dry microfiber towel across both surfaces. The Mothers surface glide did ok but had some resistance. The CG surface glide resulted in the towel sliding right off the hood and onto the floor! I'm sold! I use Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Spray Wax 2.0. I know... it's not ceramic but for me it's easy without the PTSD memories of the 70s. Just wipe a very thin layer on and let 'er dry. It worked great over the top of the CG clay bar application. Easy on and easy off. The results are amazing. Both cars just sparkle! The best part was that I did both cars (Outback and Forester) in about 4 hours, and most of that time was waiting for the wax to dry. And I'm not wiped out! With less labor and a reasonable time commitment, I find that I wax the cars more than once a year. Anyway... thanks for reading my review this far. So here's a little present for you... a dad car joke: What do you get when dinosaurs crash their cars? Tyrannosaurus wrecks. YUK YUK Have a blessed day!

Every once a while one would come across a product that makes them feel money well spent, this was one of them. I was blown away by the results. It was my first time using a clay bar. I thought it was complicated but that was not the case. It was as easy as spray, rub the bar of clay on my car, wash off the residues. I watched 14 years of dirt and grime deposit on the paint of my car rub off right before my eyes. Thanks Chemical Guy for making this amazing, user friendly, and affordable product. I'm a long time fan.

Makes Your Paint Feel Like Glass Again The Chemical Guys Medium Duty Clay Bar and Luber Kit is one of those products that really delivers on its promise. I used it on a daily driver that sits outdoors year-round and had years of built-up grime and fallout baked into the paint. After washing, I could feel the roughness on the surface—almost like fine sandpaper. One careful pass with this clay and lubricant combo changed that completely. The paint became slick and smooth to the touch, the kind of finish that makes water bead effortlessly once waxed. The clay bar itself has the perfect balance—soft and pliable, yet dense enough to pull contaminants like tree sap, tar, and brake dust without falling apart or sticking. The included Clay Luber works very well; it provides enough glide that the bar never drags or mars the surface. The kit smells pleasant (a clean, synthetic scent), and a single bar is plenty for multiple vehicles if you keep folding it to expose fresh surfaces. I used it on paint, glass, and even chrome trim—all came out smooth and clean. It’s an excellent prep step before polishing or applying ceramic sealant. For older cars, the difference in gloss is immediate once you finish a panel. Tips: Always use generous lubricant and work small sections. If the clay gets dropped, discard it immediately—it’ll pick up grit from the ground. Store the bar in a resealable bag with a light mist of lube to keep it soft for future use. Bottom line: an essential detailing kit that removes years of embedded grime and restores that “new car” smoothness. Easy to use, great value, and a noticeable upgrade for anyone serious about maintaining their vehicle’s finish.

This is my first experience with a clay bar and lube, so take this for what it's worth. This product did a really could job of salvaging an old single stage paint job. I used Chemical Brothers Butter wax right afterward and my truck looks maybe the best it has ever looked since it was new. The instructions were clear and straightforward and I was able to get my money's worth out of this combo. My only complaint is that, about halfway through my job, the clay bar became laden with the lube. The result was that the bar's consistency changed to very tacky, and would stick to my hands very easily. It took serious effort to unstick it from my hands, and I had to do this often and regularly. Simply pulling it off my hands would stretch it out in to a very web-like state, that required even more effort to reform it. My truck of course is bigger than the average vehicle or a little sports car, so perhaps the bar was used for longer than it was intended to be used. I'm not sure. Still, it continued working just as well as it did in the first place. I used the lube very liberally and still have about half left. Good for cleaning my car at least. I just hope that the clay bar is good for multiple uses after it has dried out.

Over a period of time, my car developed a sticky residue and no matter what I did, it would not get better. I washed, stripped, and waxed but nothing worked. I finally ended up buying this clay bar kit and as I was using it, I could feel the surface getting smoother. After waxing the car, it looks brand new and no more sticky feel. It is quite labor intensive, but well worth it.

Been using these two products as a tandem for years on clear coats, headlights, and windshield glass. Work great together.

It worked GREAT! We are impressed!

We had our screen door painted and the painters got overspray on my van as they spray painted 6 feet away from it. Went to multiple auto detailing place and they charge $300 and upwards. So decided to doing the job myself. I look up how to clay bar a car in youtube and chemical guys how to clay bar your car came up. Watched it and was blown away about the video and the company's attention to detail. Look it up and you'll know what I'm talking about. That's the reason why I went with them. Went to their website and found all the products but since I live in Hawaii it was gonna cost me like $50 for shipping alone. I was ecstatic when I found it on Amazon and also found a tech bargain deal. I bought this along with the Chemical guys Jet seal, Silk Shine Dressing, Microfiber Applicator, Microfiber Mitt, and Citrus Wash and Gloss (the best wash ever). I guess you can say I went all out! I give all these products five star. I wash my van really well with the Citrus wash dried it and clayed in small sections and wipe it with microfiber cloth before I starting another section. The clay bar and luber was just enough for my honda odyssey. I half the clay bar and used it on one side then I used the other half for the rest of the car. You really gotta take your time doing this and preferably indoors. This is my first time doing it and I love the results. It removed all the overspray effortlessly. It exceeded my expectation. After claying I again wash the whole van with the citrus wash as recommended in their video. Dried it and applied the jet seal which seals your paint and supposedly protect you paint for twelves months from overspray, water spots, and makes it harder for dirt and grime to stick to the car. Only time will tell. I was also very impressed with the Jet seal. It left my van unbelievably shiny. I used the Silk shine for my tires and your can also used it on interior dash board and trims but I haven't tried yet. I recommend watching their video or a video if you have never clay bar your car before. All in all, all the products met and exceeded my expectation and I highly recommend it.

Tengo un Suzuki swift blanco y unos inconcientes pintaron una estructura de color rojo junto a mi auto,, quedó todo brizeado de rojo siendo blanco mi auto, compre este producto viendo unas reseñas en Youtube de como quitar la pintura,, compre el kit con la arcilla gris o media, porque la negra o heavy, se tardaba más en llegar,, pero me sirvió bastante bien, quito todo a excepto del vidrio que no quito del todo pero eso pudo haber sido por mi nula experiencia,, solo dos advertencias, usen guantes porque mancha la arcilla, y segunda si tienen un auto sedan grande o camioneta consideren comprar un líquido lubricante extra, ya que a mí me quedo 20 ml de líquido, alcance muy apenas, eso sí de arcilla me quedo 1/4 y guarde el resto para un futuro. Excelente marca

Great kit. Used it for my first time claying a car so I have nothing to compare it against. The lubricant really made the clay glide with ease and was easy to clean up with a microfibre cloth. There is plenty of clay to do several vehicles several times if you don’t drop any. I used about 1/3 for a civic and it was plenty. However, I used over half of the bottle of lubricant just doing the civic and I probably wasn’t using as much as I should. This kit is good to do any 1 vehicle but you’ll have to buy more lubricant to do any more than that.

Le lubrifiant fait super bien le travail et sent très bon, j'ai fait u voiture entière et le niveau dans la bouteille a baissé de 10% grand max. La clay bar est aussi très efficace et une belle tenue en main, ne tombe pas facilement même lubrifiée. Je recommande.

excelente producto para descontaminar la pintura de nuestro auto. Es un buen de trabajo no voy a mentir, pero lo vale. Rocien suficiente lubricante sobre la superficie, sobre sus dedos, y sobre el pedazo de arcilla y a descontaminar! Recuerden usar movimientos rectos, y no circulares. Utilicen abundante lubricante, si no lo hacen podrian rayar la pintura. Si llegan a rayarla mucho, podrian usar un glaze para rellenar esas rayas, o si es demasiado y su pintura ya lo amerita, podrian pulir.

Lo necesite para eliminar briseado de pintura y se elimino de una manera muy fácil
