Detailing Clay and Paint Contamination
Every car finish shares a common enemy: pollution. It relentlessly pursues your car from the second it leaves the factory until your car meets its ultimate demise. It's in the air we breathe, it's on the roads we drive, and it attaches to your car's paint, where it bonds and begins a process of oxidation. So where does detail clay come in?
When contaminants get a solid grip on your car's paint, washing will not remove them. Pre-wax cleaners will remove some of the paint contamination, but not all. To completely rid your paint of contamination you have two choices: use a car polishing compound, which removes layers of your clear coat, or use a detailing clay bar.
Detail clay isn't a polish or a compound. A detailing clay bar is a surface cleaner that smoothes the paint and removes bonded contamination that harms your car's paint finish.
Uses for Detailing Clay
Detail clay is not a cure-all or meant to replace car polishing. It's a great detailing tool for quickly and easily removing surface paint contamination.
One of the many reasons for using a clay bar is paint over-spray, though you may want to get guidance from a car detailing professional if the over-spray is particularly heavy. Tree sap and tar specks can also be safely and effectively removed with a clay bar.
Another great use for detail clay is the removal of brake dust, also known as brake dust contamination. This brake dust attaches to painted rear bumpers and adjoining surfaces but can be removed by using detailing clay.
