Clay comes last, and only before polishing

Clay is mechanical: it shears off whatever chemistry couldn't dissolve. Even with plenty of lubricant it can leave light marring, so we only recommend claying when the paint will be polished afterwards. For a maintenance wash, alkaline, acid and iron steps do the job without touching the paint.

Always lubricateChemistry first, clay lastPolish afterwards
Clay bars

Classic bars, mild to heavy

Start with the mildest grade that does the job: heavier grades work faster but are more likely to mar. Knead to a fresh face often, and if a bar hits the ground, bin it.
Towels, discs & reusable clay

Faster on big panels

Synthetic clay on a towel, block or machine disc covers large areas quickly and can be rinsed clean instead of thrown away.
Clay lubricants

Slip is everything

The lubricant keeps the clay gliding instead of dragging. Keep the panel wet the whole time and re-spray before it starts to grab.
Clay kits

Bar and slip together

A clay bar paired with a 4.5 L LUBRIFICA PLUS concentrate, so you never run out of slip halfway round the car.
