Applying the Final Touch



Wrap up the process by polishing or waxing the Dodge Charger's body - this will give your car a sleek look and make it shinier. It also helps to fill in small pores on the Charger's body that were previously occupied by dirt particles.

Where Can You Use a Clay Bar, and Where Not?

A clay bar is not a universal tool that can be used on any part or surface of the Dodge Charger. To avoid damage, it's important to know exactly where a clay bar can be used for cleaning and where it shouldn't.

A clay bar CAN be applied to:

• Paintwork;
  
• Glass;
  
• Clear optical plastics (headlights/tail lights);
  
• Polished metals (stainless steel, aluminum, chrome, etc.);
  
• Wheels;
  
• Carbon fiber;
  
• Exhaust tips;
  
• Clear bras
  

A clay bar CAN'T be applied to:

• Matte paintwork/vinyl wraps;
  
• Textured plastic trim;
  
• Rubber (door/window seals, tires)
  

Wrapping it Up

Clay barring your Dodge Charger isn't a complicated task, but it does require some care and attention to avoid potential damage to your vehicle's paintwork.

When picking out a clay bar, consider its type, size, and brand, and remember to have additional lubricant at hand.

If you follow the steps correctly, you'll achieve the desired outcome, keeping your striking Dodge Charger looking pristine and shiny for a good long while.

FAQs

Can I Use A Piece of Clay Bar After Dropping It?

No, you shouldn't. Clay bars are sticky, so when dropped, they'll pick up any contaminants and dirt from the surface it fell on. Rubbing such a piece of clay against your Dodge Charger's body could potentially damage it.

Particles of dirt, sand, and debris will act as abrasive materials, possibly causing scratches on your Charger's bodywork. So if you drop a piece of clay bar, dispose of it right away.

What Should I Do After the Clay Barring Process?

Once you're done with the clay barring, you'll need to protect the body of your Dodge Charger. Waxing or polishing is highly recommended in this case.

This step will not only make your Dodge Charger look dazzlingly fresh, but also protect the body's pores from any sort of contamination.
