What is the difference between a clay bar and a paint cleaner?

Here`s a couple of article that will help, written by the Mayor Of Autopia, David B.

Basically, claying removes surface contaminents from your paint (stuff you can feel by rubbing your hand lightly over the paint). "Cleaning" your paint is the same as polishing; you`re removing oxidation, swirl marks, stains, etc. Some polishes/paint cleaners use a chemical action to dissolve crud and improve the finish while other polishes use a mechanical action (abrasive) to do the same thing.



Hope this helps.
