The Surface Detailing Clay Kit removes all bonded contaminants from your paintwork allowing for a deeper, more durable shine and is an essential step if you are serious about paintwork preparation.


Some paintwork problems can’t be washed away with shampoo, we refer to these as bonded contaminants. You can feel the rough areas with your fingertips. They require detailing clay to safely remove them from your paintwork.


Once the car is fully clayed it will be very smooth to the touch and ready for High Definition Cleanser or a coat of polish and wax.


The Surface Detailing Clay Kit contains Rapid Detailer, Clay bar, Super Resin Polish 100ml, Perfect Polishing Cloth and a microfibre cloth.


Pro Tip: Look at the clay as you use it. As it becomes dirty knead it thoroughly and fold it back in on itself to present a clean surface.


How to use:

1. Wash the vehicle with Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner and dry.

2. Pull off a piece of clay and knead into a pad about the size of a large coin.

3. Ensure the vehicle is cool. Spray a generous amount of Rapid Detailer onto the clay and onto an area about 50 centimetres square. Gently move the clay over the surface with a backward and forward motion using only light finger pressure.

4. Once the area feels smooth to the touch, wipe away any excess Rapid Detailer with the blue microfibre cloth and repeat the process on a new area, overlapping slightly with the previous section.


FAQs:

Q: After using the Surface Clay Detailing Kit is it still necessary to use Super Resin Polish?
A: After using the Surface Clay Detailing Kit, once the vehicle is contaminant free, we would recommend applying Super Resin Polish to remove any haze or light scratches that may remain on the paintwork. Not only is it good practice, but if you are taking the trouble to clay the vehicle in preparation for waxing, polishing beforehand is a worthwhile step that will improve the final result. That is why we included a small bottle in the kit for you.

Q: Can you use the Surface Detailing Clay Kit on GRP to help restore the shine?
A: You can use the Surface Detailing Clay Kit on GRP to remove bonded surface contaminants that can't be removed by normal washing. The Super Resin Polish in the clay kit will restore the shine.

Q: What is the difference between the Surface Detailing Clay Kit and High Definition Cleanser?
A: The products are both different in their use and function. The clay kit will remove bonded surface contaminants that are not removed by washing. These can be felt by running your fingers over a washed and dried car, often it will not feel smooth. Use the clay kit and then feel the difference after. The High Definition Cleanser will remove previous applications of polish and wax, leaving the perfect surface to apply High Definition Wax.


Q: How do I know when my clay bar needs to be replaced?
A: A small piece of clay can go a long way, however when you remould and are unable to achieve a clean flat surface with the clay, it is time to discard the clay and begin using a new piece.


Q: What kind of contaminants will Clay Detailing Kit remove?
A: The clay bar removes bonded contaminants, the stubborn deposits that stick to paintwork, dulling the finish and affecting the gloss. The Clay Detailing Complete Kit will help you achieve an incredible silky finish.
