Your Wash Got The Dirt. Not The Stuff Stuck To Your Paint.
You washed it. You rinsed it. From a few feet away, the paint looks clean.
But run your hand across the hood and you may still feel that rough, gritty texture.
That is bonded contamination. Road film, fallout, sap residue, light tar, overspray, and other grime can stick to the surface instead of washing away.
The Clay Towel lifts that stuck-on contamination, leaving the paint clean, smooth, and ready for your next detailing step.
A Tiny Clay Bar Makes A Simple Job Feel Slow.
A regular clay bar can remove bonded contamination. But its small working surface means more passes, more kneading, and more time spent on every panel.
Drop it on the ground and it may pick up grit that makes it unsafe to keep using.
The Clay Towel gives you a much larger working surface with an easy, full-hand grip. If it gets dirty during use, rinse it thoroughly, inspect it, and keep going.
Same detailing job. Less stopping and starting.
Wash. Lube. Glide. Rinse.
Use the Clay Towel after loose dirt has been washed away.
- Wash the car first. Remove loose dirt and rinse the paint thoroughly.
- Add plenty of lubrication. Keep both the panel and clay surface wet.
- Glide with light pressure. Move in straight lines and let the towel do the work.
- Listen and feel. The towel will begin to glide more quietly and smoothly as the contamination releases.
- Rinse and move on. Rinse the towel often, then continue to the next panel.
When the paint feels smooth, dry it and apply your preferred wax, sealant, or coating.
WHY THE SIZE MATTERS
1 Square Foot Of Clay Covers More Paint In Every Pass.
The 12 x 12 towel uses a textured synthetic-polymer surface to lift bonded contamination from the paint.
Its flexible shape follows the panel while the microfiber backing gives your hand a stable, easy grip.
The larger working area helps you cover doors, hoods, roofs, and other full panels with fewer passes than a small clay bar.
When the surface gets dirty, rinse it clean during use. When the job is done, rinse it again and let it air-dry for your next detail.
