Collection: Clay Bars, Clay Mitts & Car Decontamination

Professional Car Detailing Clay Bars, Mitts & Lubricants

Remove bonded contaminants and restore a smooth paintwork finish with our professional car detailing clay bars, clay mitts, clay towels, clay pads and clay lubricants.

Even after a thorough wash, your vehicle’s paintwork can retain embedded road grime, industrial fallout, overspray and other stubborn contamination. Clay decontamination helps lift these deposits, leaving the surface feeling cleaner and smoother before polishing, waxing or applying ceramic protection.

Our collection includes traditional detailing clay bars, reusable synthetic clay mitts, clay towels, clay sponges and dedicated clay lubricants from trusted detailing brands including Maxshine, Autobrite Direct and Alchemy.

Why Use Detailing Clay?

  • Removes stubborn bonded surface contamination
  • Helps restore smoothness to paintwork
  • Prepares surfaces for machine polishing and paint protection
  • Ideal for seasonal detailing and deep cleaning
  • Available in convenient clay kits and reusable synthetic alternatives

How to Use Detailing Clay

  1. Thoroughly pre-wash and shampoo your vehicle.
  2. Remove tar and iron contamination using suitable chemical decontamination products first.
  3. Apply plenty of dedicated clay lubricant to the surface.
  4. Gently glide the clay bar, mitt or towel across small sections without excessive pressure.
  5. Wipe away residue with a clean microfibre cloth.
  6. Inspect the paintwork before applying polish, wax or ceramic protection.

Important: Clay decontamination can cause light marring, particularly on softer paint finishes, so polishing may be required afterwards.
