I just finished claying/detailing my car. What is the proper way to care for a clay bar after use? It's a little dirty now after its first use so do I just put it in a ziplock bag and leave it with all my other detailing stuff? Can I leave it in the garage (it gets pretty hot here in socal summer)? Thanks for your help.
 
I put them in a baggie with a squirt of QD just to make sure it stays pliable. You can keep in the garage but they will get very very soft and sticky.



PS - Your sig is too long, someone will nag you aout it.
 
Make sure you throw away the dirty part! Break it up in pieces so you don't waste it. DOn't use the whole bar, break it into 1/4's depending on size of bar. Put the good clay into a ziploc bag and spray some lube on it so it won't dry out and it makes it easier to break apart next use.
 
I put my good clay in one jar and my mildly dirty clay in another. Mildly dirty clay gets used for rims, glass, etc. Just keep em in a plastic jar, squirted with a little bit of QD. If its wrapped in plastic, and it gets hot enough, it'll stick to the bag. And that's no fun.
