The Best Clay Lube Ever - It May Shock You!

[@memnoch1974]

Scott. When I saw your video using this product on engine bay cleaning, I immediately ran into Wally World and bought me 2 cans. I have used it to clean my engine bay, remove scum from the underside of the hood, clean door jams, clean door trim/rubber, clean seat surfaces, clean the jams of the rear lift gate, clean rubber seals...you name it. Now I can use it as a lube. We are blessed to have an out of the box critical thinker on this world! Thanks!

[@xx.girl.slay.girlxx]

These hand gestures are just super silly

[@davidbee8178]

Thanks Scott! I'm a pro detailer in the Montreal area and was using ONR Wash and (Carnuba) Wax as a lubricant along with a Nanoskin "clay bar" foam pad scrubbier (lasts for literallyDOZENS of applications BTW and can be washed if dropped UNLIKE a clay bar : ) with absolutely fabulous results but definitely will use the Armor All Spray Wash - looks like a great idea! Thanks again and happy detailing !

[@petertruong4244]

Thanks!

[@Dudemanbro1577]

Haha I love Scotty and everything he does but we all know he can be a bit long winded.

[@thePorsche911Steve]

Appreciate the clear and simple logic behind this tip. You’re the man Scott!

[@patb74]

I've this twice and it has worked beautifully! There's is tons of lubrication with little product used. Great tip! Thanks!

[@Dudemanbro1577]

That’s awesome. The very reason why I hate Armor All products is because it sticks and leaves behind a film... but that’s exactly what makes it a PERFECT clay lube! Great thinking!

[@trashpanda2396]

I thank you sir for using your brain, thinking outside the box and sharing it with us! Best channel I have found on the tube.

[@chrismic4835]

Scott, the product doesn't seem to be available or is discontinued. Do you have a second recommendation?

[@redveiner]

DP you're the best. Been searching for the right clay lube-just found it! You are the ALEXANDER HAMILTON of car detailers. THANKS!

[@NPaulBears]

Yuck

[@gsmac66]

Hey Scott just spent the day claying and polishing my Lexus! Thanks for all your help!

[@num1driver]

Good job sir...Thank you

[@jeffreygibson8253]

Hi Scott I can’t find this Armorall product anywhere. Have you found any other foaming product that would substitute? Thanks!

[@realrajiv]

Thanks Scott. Looks like this is no longer available. Any alternatives?

[@charlesdavaro8554]

Armor All Ultra Shine Spray Wash - 22 OZ Spray Can is out of stock everywhere online

[@cfm17hellcat11]

Scott another great suggestion. You have some amazing techniques for detailing. Your lively hood depends on your timesavers and your reputation depends these working for customer satisfaction. Thanks for sharing these tips with the do it yourself crowd.

[@fredrickwillis6767]

Scott you and your videos are awesome!!!! Thank you for educating us.

[@pballer2005]

we used to live near railroad tracks and i discovered that using that meguiars ultimate all wheels cleaner is kinda slimy and stays in place really well for a clay lube, also really helped get that metal fall out lose.

[@maxforever26]

Love your honesty and candor. Keep up the good work!!

[@NDNGearhead]

Scott its been 3 years since this video. I know you have your own product line now. Have you incorporated any of this advice into your own product line? Would love to know if you have your own foaming clay lube....or a window cleaner wth the ability to fill im the glass? Love the videos, please keep em coming

[@pwrshots]

the more that runs off, the more you use. the more you use, the more you buy.they are thinking inside the cash box.

[@nikeflight17]

YOU ARE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Your knowledge has been invaluable to me--THANK YOU!!!

[@davidmartins4666]

Everytime I need a solution I come to the detail goat

[@leewhite4092]

Thanks Scott. I’ve learned so much from your videos

[@petercarey6883]

Loved this video and your "thinking outside the box" theme. I will try using the Armorall as you suggest. But I have one suggestion, maybe on future vids such as this, don't use a white car. We really can't witness what each product is doing, or not doing.

[@leespeyrer8424]

yes, maybe a chrimson red tricoat

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Ditto on the White Car or even Lite Silver, etc.. Use a Black or Dark Gray

[@92F0XBody]

Would you guys be able to see any bonded contaminates being removed? It doesn’t matter what color the car is

[@Maxx61]

@@92F0XBody But they would be able to see how the product being touted sits on the surface. Difficult to see the clinging properties of white foam on a white vehicle.

[@92F0XBody]

Maxx61 true and i understand that. But trust him and try it out 😊 It works incredibly well. For a few bucks it’s well worth it.

[@MariaWalker-qo3vi]

Now what do we do Scott! We can’t buy it at Walmart or Amazon or anywhere!!!? Do you have another substitute!!!? 🤗

[@robertswift6101]

is this howard stern? lol

[@lizard944]

Dammit, you beat me to it..lol

[@torodaman]

lol..... i just asked him the same question...he does sound like howard...lol

[@drpepper3726]

I listen to stern obsessively everyday for hours and I didn’t get that.

[@von44]

Hey now!

[@aaronfuksa2047]

No its Ray Ramond.

[@PorkChop700]

cant find that product anywhere must be discontinued, Scott your video's are great,

[@heydude4532]

Check out Optimum no rinse wash & shine

[@jdisdetermined]

God damn, we think alot alike!! I've always felt the exact same way about traditional clay lubes. So I've been using Ammo Frothe as my clay lube for a long time. Since it's release. That ArmorAll waterless wash is literally Frothe in a can. Frothe has maybe a touch more lubrication. Frothe is one of the only Ammo products that is priced right. It's super concentrated so one bottle lasts forever. It's cheaper than buying the ArmorAll cans.

[@TraumaChaplain]

What about the bathroom quality foamy tub bubble scrubbies? Does that have enough lubricity?

[@xr500t]

Would you recommend using the Arm.All Spray even thought the plan is to use a ceramic coating afterward? will it affect the adhesion of the ceramic coating?

[@dennisthemenance5433]

Should of used a Darker Paint Guy! Like Red or Black..can't see the foam or Water for that matter

[@machoboy95]

I feel ya...I know as a detailer I couldn't understand why no companies hasn't made a clinging lube

[@amerlin388]

Sounds like just what I need and you convinced me to give it a try. Unfortunately, it appears to be discontinued. I only found it at napa online for ship to store, but I half expect to be told it is 'out of stock'; I'll find out in a few days. Any alternative you wish to recommend?

[@kelkilkat]

This video is now 7 years old, so I do not see it on Amazon. I wonder what people are using now that is still a foam and doesn't drip off and also doesn't cost a fortune?

[@Jeff_Seely]

What successes in life ever happen without experimenting and taking some risks? I keep a wrecker panel out back just for experimenting and I've thrown over $1000 worth of products on it. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but it is a lot to a "weekend hack" like me. I love trying new stuff because I want the best results on my rides. We spend too much time detailing our cars to NOT go at it this way! Good videos Scott. They are very informative and entertaining!

[@EliteChingon]

can't find it anywhere, has it been discontinued?

[@jmecillakennedy7102]

Yes sir it works awesome,Ive been using it a coule of years now..Love using it on black too,Black is usually a pain to clay but not with this method.

[@michaellevenduski7263]

I cannot find that anywhere, its all ultra shine spray wax, I can't find spray wash. Any recommendations

[@elenahernandez7089]

As always Scott looking for quick and innovative ideas to help the pro as well as novice !!!!!!! That's why your the Best Buddy you actually use your head not just for putting on a cap. Great job Scott !!!!!!! Love it , keep preaching to the choir my man that's the way to go saving time is the name of the game as well as getting great results!!!!!!!!! Les from Louisiana.

[@jerealms]

I just clayed my 10 year old Infiniti g37 with mothers clay bar kit. Was really alot of fun & I definitely removed som crud. Here's my question to you. How often do you recommend someone to clay their car? I drive 68 miles a day, mostly highway but some city. Work 6 to 7 days a week in the fall & winter, not as much in the spring or summer. Once a year, or once every 2 years? What's your recommendation?

[@steveshields2293]

Hey have they changed the name of the product? They do not sell armor All ultra shine spray wash foam anywhere anymore. 🆘

[@matthewtrice3605]

I love your videos and I really have learned a lot from you.You definitely have made my world as a professional detailer a lot easier.Much love love and respect Scott.

[@RaptureReady7494]

I need that!! No one on the internet sells it!!!! Help!

[@aaronfuksa2047]

I was looking for a alternative wet sanding lubricant. Use this, or recommendations? Trying not to use dish soap.

[@markshane2686]

Cool video, what about using just a cheep quick detailing spry? Or is that the same thing as O&R.

[@dtail4u]

Scott I can't c the foam on the car but I definitely believe you. Tks!

[@miguelalcantara4229]

is there any other alternative? in my country they do not sell this product

[@kevincampbell8298]

I tried something like this before I saw it and I totally agree! keep it wet with out a fore arm workout! I used a different make but worked great!

[@robkoons2100]

Scott you nailed it and anyone that laughs or has a problem with this has issues. This is a great idea and great advice for professional detailers

[@deanlol]

You tube likes to suggest a lot of old videos to me. Does your opinion of this product still hold in 2022?

[@edsmale]

Have you ever tried plumbers putty? Softer then clay bar, but some people swear by it. Less chance of paint marks

[@Hallowsaw]

When I'm detailing and I use clay I go over the paint to see if it needs to be polished or just waxed. Would you want to use this prior to polishing if you are trying to get to bare clear? Would it ruin a polishing pad?

[@ratagris21]

Good info to know. I like Malco quick retailers. One of them that is purple in color actually lifts the contaminants up, so the clay bar to pick it up on a pass.

[@mikeyknights2769]

Do you wash the car again after using armorall ultra shine?

[@tulsibeepat3453]

I've used a low dilution of chemical guys honey dew snow foam and it works pretty well what are your thoughts?

[@silkysixx]

Have you tried other waterless washes in their undiluted form and do they perform close to the same?

[@danielbell9779]

Would CG waterless wash work too?

[@Fee.1]

What qualifies as synthetic clay? Which would you recommend trying for a home user?

[@specopsbrat5130]

A squirt of DAWN and the rest water in a 32 oz bottle. You have to wash it again anyway after claying. 29 years of detailing. I used to use Auto Magic #49 Body Shine until I learned about Dawn and water. Lubes and cuts grease and grime.

[@marvelousscents.191]

What do you think of mothers synthetic clay vs the real clay bar. Is there a big diff

[@shealaking8557]

Nice idea, thanks. I have a little bit of Simoniz brand (aerosol, foam waterless wash) may just give it a try.

[@tammyforbes2101]

Dude just clay after you wash the car with soapy water it’s free and works perfect then dry and buff.

[@MadMan_123]

Oh my god thank you for this comment 2 years ago I'm halfway through my car spent my last 25 bucks on a kit and ran out of lube

[@wilwiljames1]

The soapy water won't stick like Ultra shine

[@jpmcfrosty]

Your ONR bottle looked really light for the actual Clay Lube dilution. How much did you put it in

[@Endoftown]

If you are going to ceramic coat won't you have to strip this wax after claying?

[@lonestar2222010]

Can this be used on glass? Also can this be followed up with your soy based dupli color wax and grease remover?

[@divinereflections8222]

I like to use Sonax Glass Cleaner. It foams up very nice. It has a long working time. Most important it has some alcohol in it. So when I wipe it off. It leaves a clean surface ready for polish.

[@ericsweat9917]

Love your videos, very informative. I have learned so much watch them and numerous questions have been answered. I now have confidence working the paint on my 1 1/2 year old truck. I must be doing it right cause everyone keeps asking why my paint is so shiny and wet looking. Thank you

[@Surferguy09]

Whats the best water spot remover Mcguires ultimate wheel cleaner for the price using clay bar

Is vinylex safe for your dash? This is what I have been using to protect my dash. Thanks. Kelly.

[@daneeckhardt411]

I can’t find this anywhere online

[@johnemmel8220]

Hey pal John from Carefree Auto Detailing in LongIsland I agree if it was optimum or CarPro it wld fly off the shelves. The ppl that will poo poo this are the same ones that will scream bloody murder at using Costco towels for detailing. They are 80/20 and the plastic in a Nissan and the plastic in a viper doesn't know the difference lol. At 44 cents per towel best value out there. I'm gonna give this a try think of all the garbage we try that doesn't work that costs more. Keep on keeping on brother and if you make it back to the island let me know kk

[@dattdude6077]

Cool….I can use rinse-less wash in a foamer. GREAT idea 😃

[@bigred575]

Thinking outside of the box Scott...Brilliant!!!

[@ElTorro76]

I’ll definitely try that out. Thanks for sharing bro

[@perrypyle9011]

Loved the video. They don’t make a clay lube because they don’t detail cars. Very simple. They follow they don’t lead!

[@yafois988]

AHH! I have a 1978 Jeep with oxidized paint and will us Armorall spray now and the clay. I was wondering what I can use instead of a $12 bottle of 'more clay MFG lube'. Thx

[@anthonyferencjr1130]

Can you use this with the clay bar on a windshield?

[@gunnermoore4529]

hello scott. what is your opinion on just using water when you clay. i have heard people say you can do that. thanks for the great tips

[@armedferret]

I've used water on previous cars and it worked okay, but i did notice the clay would start to drag a lot more quickly. Even ONR (which runs pennies for a 32-oz spray bottle) seems to prevent that a lot better than water alone.

[@calvinwong365]

what do you use as lubricant for clay barring?

[@luckycharm2258]

Scott ive been seeing alot of videos of people making their own spray wax and detailer using concentrate products. Can you make s video on your opinion on that topic?

[@MUJHOOL]

*I can't find it anywhere?!*

[@danielk0106]

So I need to get rid of paint overspray and was told to use 3M perfect it cleaner clay but should i use that Armorall for the lube and when I finish should just wax it or polish then wax? IDK but I can't afford to pay $150-$300 to have someone do this.

[@EdVanderslice]

Great information, I'll try ir out on my wife's car..

[@darrellhoward9755]

so when you clay bar using this product (Ammor All Ultra Shine Spray Wash) followed by an application of Wolfgang Sealant, does it reduce the effectiveness of the sealant?

[@gjdewald]

Amateur here so please go easy if this is stupid. Can I use SprayWay 050 aerosol (foamy) as a clay lube? It's cheap and I already have it.

[@MrCreamlover]

Thanks from England

[@stevecadigan6906]

Nice tip Scott works great only problem I had was can kept slipping out after half car I was laughing cause it was makings my hands so slick thanks for videos

[@lockergr]

So you say this is good for light to medium contamination. What about high contamination? I'm trying to find that bit out. I've already decided on regular clay as opposed to a towel based on reviews and videos like yours.

[@BLACKzj52]

Scott, have you ever used Garry Dean's Infinite use Detail Juice that Junkman2000 recommends? Just curious if you have any input there. It's difficult sometimes with so many different recommendations going around from multiple different people that seem to know what they're doing.

[@billygreenhorn9275]

is it ok to use dish soap and water?

[@dallaspaintcorrectionautod8343]

as a clay lube?..it wouldn't be my first pick but i know a lot of guys that do it..but they would only do it if they were doing paint correction after

[@TechGorilla1987]

Dude, your rock! I have listened to Michael Savage on talk radio for years, and his accent and direct manner of speaking is quite unique to NYC. IF you're NOT from there, I will use Blu-Tac to clay my 1983 Chevrolet Caprice with this Armoral. (Hint: IMA do it anyway...)

[@rosendomendoza535]

Can you polish after with this armor all spray wash?

[@diamondcomfort7]

Great channel , subscribed. Can i ask you a question please? I have a lease vehicle and i really do not want to go through the hassle of waxing my whole car with traditional paste wax. Would you recommend just clay barring the car, then removing the grease / tar and finally applying a simple spray wax as a sealant ?

[@jeremys8360]

Remove iron, tar, bugs and then wipe with a panel prep. Turtlewax ice seal n shine is amazing for a spray on, wipe off

[@diamondcomfort7]

Jeremy S Thank you , i appreciate it. That is what i will do.

[@tylerbesuyen6889]

I've recently started to use dawn dish soap diluted in water as a clay Lube. I completely understand that dish soap will strip wax and protection but it works great after a wash before a correction. I fill up a small pump sprayer from home Depot and I have plenty to do a whole car Unfortunately it doesn't stay on the panel very long but it's cheap, works great and I've yet to find a problem with it

[@cameroncrane3770]

tyler besuyen well I believe the clay bar itself also starts to remove wax anyway so

[@armandoresillez5364]

dawn soap will ruin your clay bar....

[@cameroncrane3770]

armando resillez I wouldn't know I've never tried it

[@Conqueef-tadoor]

Dish soap will DEGRADE the clay bar!! Don't use dish soap!! I tried it once, never again! The clay starting breaking apart and leaving tiny sticky pieces all over the panel. Was hell to get it all off.

[@nicksanders8840]

Thank you for all you're help. you have helped me a lot.

[@jenny1671]

what about heavy contamination of paint? do you still clay bar it?

[@danmacmillan88]

i just use the car soap from my wash bucket and squeeze the wash mit on the paint and use those suds and that is more than enough lubrication

[@Nathan-wn5mc]

Exactly what I do..

[@grassyfieldz4578]

I do this too but I have to rewet the surface probably 10 times just on a small door because it drips off so easy.

[@anthonyromero47]

Lmaooo after 6:00 "HOW LONG U PLAN KEEPING THIS" scott u the man.

[@byronvalencia1462]

does it work with Nanoskin?

[@jacklo2801]

I have been enjoying your videos. Where do you buy your Magic Clay Bars????

[@MrJonDamzyn]

Just curious, but I’ve used both clay lubricant and car soap as an inexpensive way to clay my cars and decided to just use car soap 16:1.. I have wheel brighter, express wax, wash plus, and super clean to do a whole car with. Why can’t we use super clean as a clay lubricant? What makes the clay lube so special? It seems it would not only make things easier to remove but also still be lubricated wouldn’t it?

[@Airpaycheck]

Have you tried a IK Foam Sprayer with Rinsless wash/ONR type products? I wonder if it would do the same thing.

[@ScoobyDrewski]

I use car soap and water the clay starts to break down but when it drys its fine i got 2 cars and a truck and still have the bar!!
