Detailing Clay Bars
Pull bonded contaminants off paint for a glass-smooth finish
A clay bar removes bonded contaminants like overspray, rail dust, and road grime that washing alone leaves behind. Gliding clay over lubricated paint pulls those particles out, leaving a smooth surface that wax and sealant can grip better.
We curate top-rated clay bar kits on Amazon, many of which include lubricant and sometimes a towel to get you started. Always keep the surface well lubricated and fold the clay to a fresh face as it picks up dirt.
