Clay barring is an essential step for ensuring a clean surface before applying PPF (Paint Protection Film).
Here are the key points discussed:
Clay barring removes contaminants from the surface, ensuring a better finish for the PPF.
It can also remove waxes and polishers.
The kit includes a clay bar and a lubrication solution for easier application.
It's crucial not to drop the clay bar, as any picked-up debris can scratch the paint.
If the clay bar gets dirty, it should be folded in on itself to reveal a clean side for further use.
Each panel of the car should be clay barred, including areas where PPF might touch, like the front edge of doors and wheel arches.
An additional inspection is done after clay barring to ensure the surface is ready for PPF application.
After clay barring, the car is rinsed and dried, preparing it for the next step of applying PPF.
