Labocosmetica LUBRIFICA | Silane-Free Clay & PPF Lubricant | Coating-Safe
Labocosmetica LUBRIFICA — Clay & PPF Lubricant
Lubrifica is the lubricant that makes claying, sanding and film work safe. Its anti-adherent formula lays down a slick cushion so a clay bar, mitt or block glides over the paint instead of dragging grit across it — which is exactly where claying marks come from. It works with aggressive clay media without losing that cushion, and it leaves no residue, so there's nothing to rinse off afterward.
The detail that matters for your coating and film work: it's silane- and pigment-free. No silanes means it won't interfere with the polishing cycle or a coating going on afterward; no pigments means it's safe under PPF and dark glass film without altering colour. It also doubles as a pad primer to extend working time with abrasive compounds, and as a clean-up between polishing steps.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Anti-adherent cushion. Lets clay glide safely, preventing the scratches and swirls claying can cause.
- Silane-free. Won't interfere with polishing or coating adhesion afterward.
- Pigment- and residue-free. Safe under PPF and glass film without altering colour; no rinse needed.
- Multi-use. Claying, sanding, pad-priming to extend compound working time, and post-polish clean-up.
DIRECTIONS
Ensure the surface is clean and cool. Spray Lubrifica generously onto the surface to be clayed or sanded, or onto the pad before polishing, and keep the surface lubricated throughout. Glide the clay bar, mitt or block over with light pressure — never press. Avoid use in direct sunlight, which dries the lubricant too quickly. For PPF and dark glass film, apply to both the surface and the adhesive film. Wipe clean after use; no rinsing required.
Lubrìfica — questions we get asked in the studio
Do I dilute Lubrìfica?
Labocosmetica gives these spray ratios: 1:5 with a clay block, 1:10 with a clay bar, 1:15 for PPF, and 1:20 for window tint, stickers and small PPF pieces.
Do I need to rinse after claying?
No. Wipe it off with a cloth — Labocosmetica says there is no need to rinse.
Will it affect a coating or polish I apply afterwards?
Labocosmetica says it contains no silanes and no coloured pigments, so it won't interfere with the polishing step or a coating that follows, and it is safe under PPF and glass film.
How do I clay safely with it?
Keep the panel visibly wet, use no pressure, work out of direct sun, and throw away any clay that hits the floor. For film installs, spray both the surface and the adhesive side of the film.
