The 10-second bag test
After washing and drying, place your hand inside a clean plastic bag and lightly glide it over the paint. The bag amplifies tiny bumps, revealing bonded contamination a normal wash leaves behind.
Match the grade to the job
The safest approach is the least aggressive grade that removes the contamination. Test a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on soft or dark paint.
Controlled claying
Clay should glide, not grab. Work in the shade on cool, freshly washed paint and keep the panel generously wet with a compatible clay lubricant.
Choose your configuration
Both options include light, medium and heavy clay grades. Choose the complete kit when you also need dedicated lubrication and a microfiber towel.
Three 100 g clay grades, 16 fl oz GlideTech lubricant and a microfiber towel in one ready-to-use setup.
Three 100 g clay grades for detailers who already have a compatible dedicated clay lubricant.
Build a better foundation
Claying is the mechanical step. For best results, remove loose dirt and chemical contamination first, then finish with the protection of your choice.
Remove loose dirt and road film.
Dissolve embedded ferrous particles.
Lift remaining bonded contamination.
Polish if needed, then clean the surface.
Apply wax, sealant or coating.
What washing leaves behind
A normal wash handles loose soil. Clay targets the bonded residue that remains attached to the surface, helping restore a cleaner, smoother foundation.
Protect the finish while you work
The clay traps the contamination it removes. Inspect it often, fold the dirty face inward and keep unused clay sealed so every pass starts as clean as possible.
Safety first
Choose the complete kit if you need both clay and a dedicated lubricant. Choose the Triple Clay Bar Pack when you already have a compatible clay lubricant.
Yes, poor technique or an aggressive grade can leave light marring. Start with the lightest grade that works, use generous lubrication, test first and apply only light pressure.
Clay when clean paint still feels rough or before polishing and protection. It is a decontamination step, not something required at every wash.
Inspect the paint under good light. Polish if needed, wipe the surface clean, then apply your chosen wax, sealant or ceramic/graphene protection.
Choose your kit above, then add it to the cart.
Wash away everyday dirt and road film before drying the car or moving on to the preparation steps it needs.
Three practical benefits for weekly maintenance and pre-coating preparation.
A balanced formula cleans without aggressively stripping waxes, sealants, or ceramic protection.
Graphene and SiO₂ help the surface feel slicker and look freshly detailed after rinsing and drying.
Dense foam, easy rinsing, and a clean finish reduce the need for extra gloss products after every wash.
Use on a cool surface out of direct sunlight. Never allow shampoo to dry on the vehicle.
On properly maintained paint, the wash removes traffic film and residue that mute reflections. The result is a cleaner, slicker surface with more visible colour depth.
The pH-neutral formula is designed for coating-safe maintenance. Follow the dilution and washing directions on the label.
Yes. It works in a foam cannon or a traditional wash bucket. Adjust the dilution to your equipment and the level of soil.
No. It is a maintenance shampoo that supports gloss and hydrophobic performance; it does not replace a bonded ceramic coating.
Yes. It can be used on clear-coated paint, waxes, sealants, glass, wheels, and exterior trim.
Use a dedicated tar remover or iron remover for heavy bonded contamination, then wash the vehicle normally.

Remove leftover polishing oils and residue, then inspect the surface before coating. This is the final wipe after the preparation work.
Spread with a clean microfiber, finish with a dry towel and inspect the panel. No rinse is needed afterward.
Clears lubricants and fillers left after paint correction so the true finish is exposed.
Removes lingering protection that can prevent a new coating from meeting the paint evenly.
Lifts light handling residue and oily film before the coating applicator touches the panel.
Work in the shade on a cool, dry surface. Use clean towels and change sides often.
Each step has a different job. Prep Spray is the final cleaning stage immediately before protection.
Dissolve embedded metallic fallout and brake-dust contamination.
Shop Iron Remover →Lift bonded surface contamination that washing and chemistry leave behind.
Shop Clay Bar Kit →Remove oils, wax residue, and final surface film before coating.
Choose a bonded ceramic coating or an easy-to-use graphene spray coating.
Shop Graphene Coating →Follow the product label. Work with ventilation, keep the bottle away from heat and flame, and test an inconspicuous area when you are unsure about a surface.
No. Wash and decontaminate the vehicle first. Prep Spray is the final wipe that removes remaining oils, wax residue, and light surface film before protection.
Use it after paint correction or decontamination and immediately before applying a ceramic coating, graphene coating, sealant, or wax.
It is designed for exterior paint, glass, chrome, and wheels. Always work on a cool surface and test first when the material or finish is unfamiliar.
No. Work one small section at a time and wipe before the product dries. This gives you better control and helps prevent streaking.
No. Use it in the shade on cool, dry panels and follow all instructions and safety warnings on the label.

Normal washing removes loose dirt, but bonded contamination can remain attached to paint and glass. A properly lubricated clay bar lifts that embedded grit so the surface feels smoother before polishing, sealing, or coating.
Good clay work is controlled and gentle—never dry, rushed, or forced.
Lift embedded grit and airborne contamination that settles into the surface over time.
Remove small bonded particles and stubborn surface film after the vehicle has been washed.
Address rough spots that remain after chemical decontamination and contact washing.
Work in the shade on cool, freshly washed paint. Keep the surface generously lubricated.
Always test an inconspicuous area first. Softer paint may require polishing after any mechanical decontamination.
For well-maintained finishes, soft paint, and light bonded contamination.
For routine decontamination when a light grade does not fully smooth the panel.
For stubborn contamination. Test carefully and expect that follow-up polishing may be appropriate.
Chemical and mechanical decontamination do different jobs. Use only the steps your vehicle needs.
Dissolve metallic fallout before using mechanical clay treatment.
Shop Iron Remover →Lift the bonded contamination still attached to paint or glass.
Remove oils and residue before applying your chosen protection.
Shop Prep Spray →Apply wax, sealant, or a bonded graphene ceramic coating.
Shop Graphene Coating →Clay must glide over the surface on a film of compatible lubricant. Stop if it drags, keep the working face clean, and discard any clay that falls onto the ground.

After washing, place your hand inside a clean plastic bag and gently feel the paint. A gritty or rough texture indicates bonded contamination may still be present.
Incorrect use can cause marring. Always work on a washed, cool panel with generous lubricant, light pressure, and a clean clay face. Test first, especially on soft or dark paint.
Only when bonded contamination is present. Many vehicles need it seasonally or before polishing and coating, but usage depends on storage, climate, and driving conditions.
Clay can be used on suitable exterior glass and coated wheel surfaces with proper lubrication. Use separate clay for dirtier areas such as wheels and test unfamiliar finishes first.
Inspect the finish. If protection will be applied, use Prep Spray for the final surface wipe, then apply the chosen wax, sealant, or coating.
Choose the complete kit or triple clay pack above.
Keep your selected Clay Bar option and add the products that handle loose dirt and metallic fallout. Your saving is applied automatically in the cart.
Customers notice the difference before they even step back to admire the shine: bonded grit is gone and the surface feels ready for polishing or protection.
“This is the most satisfying step in detailing. Seeing the white clay turn brown lets you know it’s working. My car shines so much brighter now because the surface is truly clean.”
“I have a black BMW 5 Series, so I’m terrified of scratches. I used the Yellow bar with GlideTech spray. Zero marring—it lifted the dirt and left the paint perfect.”
“The spray nozzle was a little hard to twist open, but once it started working, it misted fine. The clay bars are excellent—very pliable once you knead them a bit.”
