Default Intensive clay bar

Hello, I haven't clayed my car for awhile now, and my rear bumper/trunk is covered with exhaust particles. I'm looking for a medium-intensive clay bar for my car. I would take it to a pro detailer, but they themselves don't put enough elbow grease into claying the car. Thanks in advance.

I recommend the Clay Magic medium grade clay bar if the contamination is very heavy. I have used the product on my truck with amazing results. It is a large bar so you will need to cut it in 4-5 pieces to work with. I use the Poorboy's S&W as a clay lube. GL

also remember that if you use a more aggressive clay bar, you are most likely going to have to polish the area afterwards. even with lots of lube, more aggressive clay bars WILL mar the surface. so keep that in mind
