The Rag Company Ultra Clay Mitt | Fine Grade Clay Decontamination Mitt
The Ultra Clay Mitt puts a fine-grade synthetic clay face on a microfibre mitt, so you decontaminate paint, glass and trim by hand the way you wash it. It does the job of a clay bar in a fraction of the time, and unlike a bar it can be rinsed and reused if you drop it.
The polymer clay surface shears bonded contaminants off the clear coat — industrial fallout, rail dust, overspray, tree sap residue — when used with a proper clay lubricant. Use it after an iron remover and before any polishing or coating step.
Why we stock it
- Mitt format: one pass per panel, both hands free of a bar.
- Fine grade — safe on soft clear coats when the panel is well lubricated.
- Lasts for dozens of cars with care; rinse between panels.
- Drop it, rinse it, keep going. A dropped clay bar is finished.

How to use
- Break in on clean glass first: lubricate and rub for 30–60 seconds.
- Wash and iron-decon the car. Lubricate a section generously with a clay lube or rinseless wash at clay dilution.
- Glide the mitt in straight lines with light pressure until it moves without drag. Wipe dry, inspect, move on.
- Rinse the mitt in clean water between panels. Never use it dry.
- Store flat, clay side up, in its packaging. Do not fold with the clay face touching itself.
Common questions
Will it mar? Fine-grade synthetic clay can leave light marring on very soft paint. Keep lubrication high and pressure light; follow with a polish if you are preparing for a coating.
Mitt or towel? The mitt is faster on large flat panels; the Ultra Clay Towel folds into tighter spots. Many detailers keep both.
