A clay bar is a clay that is used in conjunction with a lubricant (eg. Meguiars Quik Detailer). Might sound like an abrasive product to use but actually pulls/lift/cuts surface contaminants out of the paintwork. It can however still cause marring if used improperly such as without sufficient lubricant. It gives the paintwork a mirror finish.

It can even be used to cut away fresh pain overspray.

Here's the debadge... needs cleaning...

claybar should work with it. as stated by EuroAccord13

just beware that if you have no lubrication you will just scratch your paint.

Will get the panel beater to clean it up for me... since I need to bring it in for repairs because some idiot from my work car park hit the driver's front quarter panel!!!! and just took off.
