Car Detailing Clay, Lubricants and Kits: Tackle Embedded Contaminants in a Breeze!
Car exterior surfaces accumulate industrial chemicals, protein and mineral deposits from hard water. Over time, they settle on painted surfaces and develop yellow spots, ruining the gloss. While some are prominently visible, others are felt in the form of roughness. At Auto Finesse, we introduce a dependable solution—clay bars, clay lubricants and clay bar kits. Curated into a collection of essentials, the items are ready to restore the silky smooth finish on your rides. Here are the best-selling car detailing clays and associated products to render a contamination-free surface:
- Clay Bar: The one we feature is natural a kaolin clay bar, weighing 200 gms and targeting bonded contaminants. Now, deal with organic and inorganic contamination like a professional detailer with our detailing clay without the fear of damaging sensitive paintwork. An upgrade over polymer clays, we guarantee an advanced detailing treatment. Shop online from Auto Finesse and handle bonded contaminants and embedded particles on all surfaces, including paint, gloss-finished plastics, trims and alloy wheels.
- Glide Clay Lube: When purchasing clay bars, remember to shop for Glide, a clay lubricant that lowers friction during the treatment. It's a gentle formula and we advise all a liberal application on the paintwork. Our intention is to make sure there is no resistance between the paintwork and the clay bar by keeping the area well-lubricated. The presence of silicone in it safeguards cars from UV radiation.
- Clay Bar Kit: Why shop car detailing clay and lubricants individually when you can get them packed into a bundle? Save money and the hassles of shopping by adding Clay Bar Kit to your cart and tackle soot, tar deposits, road grime and tree sap more effectively. Get a 500-ml Glide and a 200-g clay bar, packed nicely into our bundle.

Clay Bar Treatment: The Process We Recommend for a Smooth and Glossy Car
Here is a step-by-step instruction for beginners to nail the clay bar treatment:
- Break off a small piece of your Clay Bar and flatten into a pad of 2-3-inches.
- Working over a square of approximately 12x12-inches, or a manageable section, lubricate the surface and your clay pad thoroughly with Glide Clay Lube.
- Rub the clay bar over the surface with light pressure, moving the clay in overlapping straight lines.
- Continue the clay treatment until the pad slides smoothly across surface. You'll feel the difference in resistance as the contamination is removed and the surface gets smoother and smoother.
- Periodically check your clay for contamination. As and when it gets dirty, fold and kneed the clay to reveal a fresh portion.
- Use a microfibre towel to gently wipe away any lubricant and move on to the next area.
- Rinse the whole vehicle down to remove any remaining lubricant residues. Dry the vehicle as normal with a suitable microfibre drying towel.
- Once you are done with claying, you can move onto the polishing and protection stages.

Expert Tips to Achieve a Professional Finish with Car Detailing Clay and Lubricants
At Auto Finesse, we recommend clay bar treatment once a year or quarterly before polish and sealant treatment. Determine the frequency based on the average daily drive. When purchasing a clay bar, get ultra-fine natural kaolin clay to improve its effectiveness against contamination. The one we feature on our site is exactly so and accompanies a clay bar lubricant to eliminate the risks of marring. Club the two together to achieve a glass-like finish on your ride. We also suggest working in small sections and spraying the lube liberally onto your vehicle surface for the clay bar to maximise the effectiveness of the treatment.
