Auto Detailing Clay Bars are important tools for professionals in the auto detailing industry as well as car enthusiasts who want to keep the exterior of their vehicles in the best condition possible. Today?s clear coats are very susceptible to environmental elements and clay is capable of removing these pollutants before they become embedded in the clear coat. Detailer?s clay can be used once the vehicle has been washed to cleanse the paint before it is buffed and waxed. Clay is used to remove paint over-spray, industrial & environmental pollutant fall-out, rail dust, fresh bird dropping stains, and light tree sap. The Japanese were the first to use clay in the auto-body industry as part of the surface-repair process. It was brought to the US market in 1993 and caught on slowly at first by detailers. Now, many detailers use clay on every vehicle that they service. Detailing clay shears off any foreign material above the level surface of the paint. Any debris that sticks out past the flat surface of the paint is captured by the clay bar and will not scratch the paint as long as the clay bar is properly lubricated. The clay bar will grab even the smallest debris and hold onto it as it is slid across the paint. While gliding across the paint, the clay bar removes the pollutants on the paint before they have a chance to be embedded into the clear coat. The clay bar is most effective when it is applied with a clay lubricant to help it glide or hydroplane across the paint. The clay lubricant is what allows the clay to slide over the paint without scratching it with the debris that it is picking up. Once the vehicle is clayed, the smooth, contaminant-free surface that the clay creates allows for better wax or sealant application. Detail King?s clay will not remove protection if the car had been waxed prior to the claying of the paint, so there is no need to re-apply wax after claying.
