Much easier and more economical than throwing away a dropped clay bar.
I much prefer these the rinseless type washes instead of regular car soap.
Add three to five drops and that s it of liquid dishwashing detergent.
Making a wet and smooth surface perfect for claying.
So i ended up using both bottles of quik detailer when i clayed my gti.
These companies also happen to sell specific clay bar lubricants as well they claim the soap will degrade the clay bar.
The one that i use is dp no rinse.
Any substitute for clay lubricant.
So i bought meguiar s smooth surface clay kit which contains 473ml quik detailer inside the box and also purchased a 650ml bottle of meguiar s ultimate quik detailer because i know one bottle of 473ml is not enough.
You can use blackfire wet diamond rinseless wash or optimum onr as a clay lubricant.
Add 4 oz of rubbing alcohol to a cleaner 1 quart spray bottle.
You simply apply some lubricant and wipe the surface with the autoscrub towel.
Most clay bar lubes are synthetic and will work on every surface and color car that you want.
Most of the time i ll just use the leftover soapy water from washing the car.
Dilution ratio is on the bottle.
If you drop the autoscrub towel on the ground no big deal just rinse it off.
