Clay Bars & Lubes

Bilt Hamber Auto clay-bars are designed to effortlessly restore the factory smooth finish to paint finishes. They have received critical acclaim in the detailing industry for being the most durable, cost effective and well-designed clay-bars available today.

Auto Express Magazine, a giant in the car magazine world, has awarded auto-clay with their Best Clay Bar award every year for the last 5! Also they compared the clay-cloths to clay-bars in one recent test, where they concluded that bars were better, and that auto-clay was the pick of the bunch once again!

Regular –

If the vehicle is heavily contaminated,  has never been clay-barred before, or it’s hot summertime then use Regular.  All clay bars become firmer when cold and softer when warm.

Why use a clay-bar?

Assess the degree of embedded metallic and brake dust debris that has entered the surface of your paint film by gently rubbing the paint with fingertips.

Feel for the grittiness that these damaging particles impart to paint films.
Using Bilt-Hamber Clay-Bars - regular, medium or soft - you will effortlessly remove particles, leaving the paint glass-smooth. Discolouring road film will also be gently lifted.
Claying will make a world of difference when lubricated with plenty of water and hardly any pressure. The bar glides like an ice hockey puck, and is pleasant and satisfying to use.
Not only does the paint feel and look a lot better once clayed, but the removal of these objects sticking to the surface allows the next stages of paint care to progress far more smoothly. As now cleansers, waxes and polishes glide across the surface far more easily.
It is highly recommended that before using a clay bar the paint is pre-treated with korrosol.
This high activity cleaner actively removes embedded metallic particles in a simply spray on rinse off action.
By removing these particles before the clay-bar is used, the bar will last longer and concentrate its action on the remaining contamination.

Alchmey Qube Clay removes stubborn, bonded contamination that washing alone won’t shift. Qube is a soft clay that grabs onto the bonded dirt and pulls it safely away from the paint surface.

Alchemy Car Care Qube is a spray clay bar Lubricant that provides a slick, smooth surfacer enabling clay bars to glide without sticking and marring the surface. Alchemy Qube is best used in conjunction with Alchemy Qube soft clay bar.

Directions- work on a small area on clean paint work, spray Alchemy Qube lubricant liberally onto the vehicle surface so your clay can pass smoothly without pressure.

ValetPro offer three different types of contamination removal bar, essentially they all do the same thing. They remove bonded contamination from paint surfaces that can’t be removed by normal washing. Tar spots, fall out, bonded traffic  film and tree sap. As the bar glides over the paint surface bonded contaminates stick to the bar and are gently removed from the paint work. If your paint work feels rough after washing, try a contamination removal bar and feel the difference.

The Nanoskin Autoscrub System works fast and achieves professional results with the new advanced rubber polymer technology, which replaces the use of clay bars. It safely and easily removes paint over spray, water spots, fresh tree sap, rail dust and other bonded surface contaminants from the surface of automotive paint, glass, moldings and plastic.

Unlike the clay bar, the Autuscrub can be cleaned by simply rinsing off the accumulated contaminates with water. If you drop the Autoscrub on the ground, no worries, just rinse the sponge pad clean and you're ready to keep using it. Easy glides allows for sturdy and controlled handling, unlike clay bars where constant reshaping is required.


NOTE:
Sufficient lubrication is crucial to the Austoscrub application.
Plain water is NOT an adequate lubricant.
Autoscrub is not solvent resistant.
Remove tar & grease before application

Helpful Tips:
The Autoscrub has a protective coating to ensure stability within transportation.
To break in the pad, moisten the Autoscrub with desired lubricant.
Moisten a portion of window glass or other glass surface. Rub Autoscrub in circular motion against the glass for 30~60 seconds. You may see a white soapy foam. This is the protective sealant coming off. Don 't use until the polymerized rubber is soft and slightly tacky.
Cold temperatures may stiffen pad. Warm surface before using.
