Where to purchase clay bars locally (not in a kit)?

rrandyy · 12-28-2006, 08:59 PM

I have tried pep boys, kragen, autozone, target, kmart and walmart. Either they dont sell clay bars or they only sell it in a kit with stuff I dont need and dont want to spend money on. Any retailer that sells just the clay bars?

unfortunatly NOT!! ive gone through the same thing u are just a couple weeks ago! I have all the other shit why do i need the kit AGAIN!! i just wanted the clay! NOPE..u gotta pony up the 20$ for the detailer/towel/clay.
the only way u can buy clay alone is from boutique stores.

O'Reilly auto parts has Meguire's QD and a clay bar packaged together for $9.99.

You know you can't just use a clay bar on the car, you need some type of lubricant to do it! like a QD or some people use soap. If you don't use a lubricant you can REALLY mess up your car!!

Couldn't you just buy a clay bar online? No QD with that.

Yeah, locally is what I wanted. I understand I need a QD, but I have a bunch of the QD, just need more bars.... thanks guys!

Edit: The kit it is, I guess.

If you live in socal, you can visit the Chemical Guy's store. Its near LAX on Century Blvd and has individual clay, amongst other things.

I go to a Wesco auto paint supply store. They carry a pretty full line of Meguiar's professional products. As far a a lubricant goes I use QEW (Quick and Easy Wash by Protectal) in a slightly stronger solution than I use for washing.

I feel like I'm their sales guy (I'm not affiliated with them at all) but if you're in LA, then www.lazaino.com is what you need.
