I just bought a 3 part system from mcguire’s at Farm and Fleet. I bar clay all my cars once a year too.

What is involved when using the bar clay system?

I bought a bottle of the new Tech Wax and it’s awesome!

bar clay is easy. Spray on some detail mist (which works like a lubricate), form the clay into a pancake and then rub down the area like you are putting wax on the pannel. Then wipe down with a towel. The bar clay will pick up a lot of the junk that sticks to the paint that you can’t remove with water and your wash bucket rag.

Here is a nice big writeup:

I’m also a big fan of the California Water Blade. It is a squeegee for your panels. I have a knock-off one I picked up from Walmart for under 10 bucks.

I have a mix of Meguiars and Mothers stuff, I really like the Meguiars Gold Class wax though.
However I need to clay my car so I’ll be picking up some clay soon.
