Is it necessary to wash after claybaring my car? (before I wax)

Wash first then clay bar then wash again if desired.

Take your time doing the clay bar so you don't need to do an extra step.

i'll wash the car.

i'll have two buckets of soapy water.
-one I use for claybar
-the other is for a mitt

i'll do a panel with clay and soapy water, then wash the panel with the mitt after.

i do a panel at a time, and rinse it off. try not to do it in direct sunlight. if you do get some water spots, they should come out during the polishing process.

I usually use really, really soapy water, like 4 times the regular amount of soap. I lather up the panel with the soapy water and mit, then go over it with the claybar, then rinse. Afterwards I dry the car, then go over it with detailers spray or finishing spray to clean up any clay residue. Wax afterwards is optional.

great for a clay lube. I then use Adams BSG or if tis been a while jeffs werkstatt.

Use a solution of car wash liquid and water as the clay lube, then just rinse.
