Great tip! I’ll definitely try that. Can I use the clay bar on plastic surfaces too, like bumpers?

I’ve used a clay bar before, and while it does a good job at cleaning the surface, it doesn’t quite remove scratches effectively. You might want to try a polishing compound for deeper scratches.

Totally agree! I had amazing results using a dual-action polisher with some quality compound. It really brought my paint back to life!
Clay bars are more about decontaminating rather than scratch removal. For serious scratches, look into scratch removers or even trying a mix with polishing compound.
I’ve seen decent results with scratch remover products, but they can be hit or miss. Anyone tried the turtle wax scratch repair? Would love to hear your thoughts!

I haven’t tried the turtle wax one yet, but I found that sometimes the simplest products can outperform complex ones. Anyone else experienced this?

That’s so true! I had a friend who used just a simple polish and some elbow grease and got fantastic results on his car.
Can a clay bar alone handle everything? I’m curious if using it alongside polishes could actually improve results. Any tips on specific products?
Absolutely, a combo of clay and polish usually works best! Just don’t forget to follow up with a good wax for protection.
Haha, yes! Protecting your hard work is essential. I once forgot and had to redo my whole car!
In the end, it’s all about experimenting with what works for your specific scratches and paint type. Don’t be afraid to try different methods!
