Description
Regardless of how clean you think your paint is, there are still contaminants stuck on the paint that you need to remove before waxing or polishing your paint. Paint cleaning clay leaves behind an ultra-smooth surface that will make your wax adhere better and last longer. It also makes the wax much easier to remove, reducing your elbow grease substantially. Clay is safe for all paint and also works great on glass to get it squeaky clean. To use, just remove the clay from the wrapper, spray the paint's surface with Speed Shine (acts as a lubricating fluid), and rub the clay back and forth until there is no drag. This means your paint is clean. Unlike other cleaners and polishes, no buffing or hard circular motions are necessary. Takes literally one fourth the time as it would using paint cleaner. Follow up with best of show wax and your paint will look stunning. The large 8 ounce (226 gram) bar cleans about 7 vehicles, depending on the amount of surface contamination. Try this clay - the results are amazing. For paint that’s super smooth, there is no substitute for Griot’s Garage Paint Cleaning Clay. Even if you think your paint is clean, there are sure to be contaminants embedded in the surface that need to be removed before polishing or waxing. Remove these embedded contaminants and prepare your paint to look its best. The results will amaze you.Why Use Paint Cleaning Clay?Oils, dirt, brake dust, tar, and acid rain deposits form tiny particles that stick to your paint. You can’t always see these contaminants, but you can usually feel them by running your hand gently across the painted surface.How Do You Use Paint Cleaning Clay?Paint Cleaning Clay and Speed Shine work together to remove embedded contaminants, preparing your paint for polishing and waxing. Speed Shine loosens debris and lubricates the surface, Paint Cleaning Clay grabs and holds the contaminants, lifting them safely away from your paint.Four Steps to a Smooth SurfaceStep 1 – Making sure the surface is clean and cool, first wet a small, kneaded piece of clay with Speed Shine, then wet a 2’x 2’ section of your paint with Speed Shine.Step 2 – Move the Paint Cleaning Clay back and forth on the surface. You don’t need to press hard, just let the clay do the work for you. If the clay begins sticking, you can add more Speed Shine.Step 3 – Wipe the area dry with a clean micro fiber or 100% cotton cloth.Step 4 – When the piece of clay appears dirty, fold it into itself and knead again. Now you’re ready to move onto the next section.Key Kit FeaturesEssential to properly preparing your paint for polishing and waxingPaint Cleaning Clay will not strip wax and is safe for all paintsUsing Paint Cleaning Clay a few times a year will help prevent paint oxidationGreat for removing sap, dried bugs, and stubborn bird droppingsKit saves you money over purchasing items separatelyCompanion Products (Sold Separately)Many Griot’s Garage car care products are available in environmentally-friendly refill sizes.
