Clay bar lubricant substitute.

Fill up the rest of the bottle with distilled water. Most of the time i ll just use the leftover soapy water from washing the car. This is a lubricant that s specifically formulated to increase the lubricity of your car and reduce friction from the clay bar. Making a wet and smooth surface perfect for claying.

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. Any substitute for clay lubricant. Much easier and more economical than throwing away a dropped clay bar. The autoscrub towel is a clay bar alternative that consists of a special rubber impregnated towel.

Add three to five drops and that s it of liquid dishwashing detergent. You can use blackfire wet diamond rinseless wash or optimum onr as a clay lubricant. So i ended up using both bottles of quik detailer when i clayed my gti. It s not much so it becomes a good bang for the buck.

Dilution ratio is on the bottle. These companies also happen to sell specific clay bar lubricants as well they claim the soap will degrade the clay bar. You have your very own clay bar lubricant. Certain product manufacturers recommend against this but remember what i said about taking their motives into consideration.

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. I much prefer these the rinseless type washes instead of regular car soap. If you drop the autoscrub towel on the ground no big deal just rinse it off.

The one that i use is dp no rinse.
