Lots of people want their vehicle to look beautiful on the inside and outside, but not everyone is willing to put in the work. At Steve Schmitt Auto Group in Florissant, MO, we're always looking out for ways to help our customers maintain their vehicles, so take a look at these tips that you should use when you are detailing your car with a clay bar.

One of the best ways that you can maintain the outside of your vehicle is by using a clay bar, but it does require some elbow grease. You should have a comfortable place to sit while you're rubbing because it's going to be a while.

When you are rubbing the clay bar across the surface of your vehicle, understand that you're going to have to go over the same spot for a while. With most clay bar kits, you'll be able to use a clay bar for a very long time, but you can run out of the spray that comes with the kit. That's why you shouldn't be too hasty to rub off excess lubricant before you have all of the metal filings out of the clear coat.
