Ever wondered if you should be using a clay mitt or a clay bar when detailing your car? In this episode, I break down my experience with both and share what I personally use today — and why.

We cover:

  • Why claying is essential for a smooth paint surface

  • The pros and cons of each method

  • Which one is faster, safer, and more effective for most jobs

  • My exact claying process from start to finish

  • When a clay bar still has its place

  • The perfect products to pair with either tool for the best results

Whether you're just getting into detailing or you're a pro looking to save time and get better results, this episode will help you make the right decision.
