Love the video. The format. The added graphics, excellent sound. Great video, Sandro. This towel looks like, as others have said, the Rag Company towel, which was derived from Optimum's Ultra Clay Towel. If similar to those, I absolutely agree with you. Such a great towel. Foaming is good. I also like spraying iron remover (Ferrex) into it directly. Saves me a ton of product that way vs spraying the paint.

Optimum and The Rag Company have been selling a similar kind of soft, perforated clay for a while. I still find quality traditional clay the more effective considering a single job, but in other regards the clay cloth is a worthwhile investment. And sometims you have intricate places. It's good to have both.

These clay towels are much quicker than traditional clay but I still prefer using old-school clay

[@KK001]

Why is that?

[@Gnetbird]

For me, the clay mitt removes the big and looser dirt. Clay removes smaller and tighter dirt on the paint. Actually, I use both, with the car shampoo, I use the clay towel, and the clay bar I use a lubricant when dry.. Both together in the same car, if the car is a very dirty detail.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Yes I’ve done the same in the past many times, and depending on the specific fallout or contamination on the vehicle it sometimes be a great way to go.

Have you tried the Bowden's Own claying rubber? It's got a similar surface, with void spaces, but not actual 'air holes'. It's on a foam backing layer and is just a claying pad essentially. It's definitely not as aggressive as the Waxit Clay Mitt (which is sometimes good for heavy contamination), but leaves much less marring.

I can’t be certain they will be or work the same but there’s a few comments here that are posting about similar towels in the US.

[@CornettoGospel]

Hi Sandro, great vid again. I agree with you about the "you get what you pay for" aspect of clay bars. First bar I bought was some dodgy thing from Amazon that had all the bad characteristics you mentioned. Did it's job to a reasonable standard, but I noticed the difference between it and the Bilt Hamber bar I bought afterwards and it was night & day. On a side note, I've seen a flurry of new Nano polishers being released, and I was wondering if you had any thoughts on them? They all seem to be licensed versions of the Rupes iBrid

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I really haven’t tried any of those Nano polishers but it would be interesting to see if any of them are any good!

[@ecurb10]

How does the Bowden's Own Claying Rubber Pad stack up? I've just bought one, but want to use up my Bowden's traditional clay bar first, which I find great.

[@JYD_esign]

Hey Sandro, thanks for sharing this awesome product. While maintaining a ceramic coat over time, would you recommend using this, perhaps before applying CarPro reload?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

No, it’s really best just to stick chemical decontamination to clean and reset your coating periodically as clay of any form will mar the coating to some extent.

[@Ken-sl4um]

It would be great if we could get any of these products in California

[@tonyjoe5707]

Nice review, perhaps a part of the detailing scene that's moving forward at a pace now. I use Bilt Hamber soft clay bar and so far (touch wood) I've been ok with it. What clay lube are you using in the vid?

[@bluecent]

Looks like the NV Purify.

[@Ozzcaddy]

Hi Sandro, thanks for demonstrating the different types of clay medium and their results. I fell into the eBay 3M clay bars trap a few years ago before becoming a bit more knowledgeable on claying. Was any of your testing on any long term ceramic coated cars, if so, did it cause any marring? If not, what marring affect could be caused? Cheers, Ozz

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

My pleasure mate, and generally you really want to stick to chemical decontamination when it comes to ceramic coatings as mechanical claying will always to some extent scuff the coating and potentially compromise it.

[@PixelBravo]

Why do I always discover these things when it's too late. Just bought a clay bar from EZ

[@wesoakes]

This is the same webbed pattern as the optimum ultra clay mitt. I still find myself using traditional clay because it tends to still leave some contamination on the paint. It’s far better than the solid clay towels and mitts though.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I’m not sure if it’s the same but is does look similar

[@Kopte3]

Hi Sandro, your videos are exceptional! I learned a lot from watching them as you’re not just a great teacher but also a great video producer. Additionally, your style of presenting and your calm voice are like a chill therapy for me. Thanks for creating this content. I’m not a detailer, i just enjoy taking care of my car. I don’t have a knowledge nor conditions to do polishing. I wonder would you recommend claying to someone like me? Would that produce damage to the car paint which would require polishing? Or is this best to go to someone who does it professionally? Thanks!

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

I appreciate that and it’s my pleasure mate. Periodic claying is vital to remove contamination that would otherwise degrade car paint, it also has the advantage of allowing car waxes and sealant to bond more successfully and last longer to protect your car paint better. In most cases clay marring is quite minimal if done correctly and no more visible than light washing swirls or haze. I would say try it yourself, worst case scenario is that it does cause some minor marring that a very fine polishing stage will easily remove - any pro detailer with even minimal polishing experience can address that easily.

[@Kopte3]

@@CarCraftAutoDetailing thanks for your detailed response! I feel more confident to try it on my own now. I could only find Scholl eraser clay, I hope that's okay for a beginner.

[@OzzCyrus]

Hi Sandro, another great video as usual. Can you please help me? What is the grade of this clay cloth ? My car is coated with artdeshine nano graphene and after a year im experiencing loss of performance of the coating on the roof and bonnet unless i use a topper. According to the aftercare it says to use a fine grade clay bar to remove contaminants. i have tried washing with carpro lift and descale. did a iron decon and water spot remove but didnt restore the hydrophobicity of the coating.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks and this cloth isn’t graded - synthetic clay typically isn’t - but if it helps I have found it be the most gentle synthetic clay I’ve ever used in terms of minimising clay marring, but like most clays it will marring to some extent and especially on softer car paints. I’m not sure if you’ve tried working in your iron and water spot removers physically in smaller section by section applications, but it will dramatically increase their effectiveness. Claying a coating isn’t something I’d typically recommend but if the brand recommends it then they hopefully have the first hand knowledge that it’s fine and helpful to do so. Maybe this video will also help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIi8qqpjrrCAaaMsi=GEjoinRLW_OvB18r

[@allandekoning4734]

Unfortunately they only ship to Australia and New Zealand….. I’m stuck using traditional clay in the US. Great information as always Sandro!

[@cs2-llc]

Just got mine yesterday

[@deanricketts2984]

I’ve never used the towels because a fear of trashing the paint. I’ve always stuck to Meguiars clay. On average, how long does it last? And are you washing the cloth out between each panel? What happens to the collected contaminates? Looks like you’re getting great results.

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

With synthetic clay, the particles don’t so much bond to the clay, they get suspended in the clay lubricant so you rinse them off the car along with the panel, but yes you can also just rinse the clay in a bucket or with a hose or pressure washer to remove any particles on the actual clay.

[@ThatAussieBloke1]

I clayed my SSV yesterday with an older style bar, was awful. My hands still hurt!

[@nasdoc1]

Great video. After claying the car, is it necessary to polish the car? I don't have the tools to polish the car so should I just skip the claying?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

Thanks, and claying can cause some micro marring especially if you have a soft paint which is why a light polish is recommended afterwards but also not mandatory. If I couldn’t polish I’d still tend to clay because it is very beneficial to the paints health to remove that contamination which degrades car paint over time. If you don’t have a machine polisher, try using something like Autoglym Super Resin Polish by hand, it’s very easy to use and should clean up any clay marring and improve the look of the paint. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zma7fIOjmbGJq5I

[@russmaf101]

The Rag Company has an almost identical Clay towel.

[@jonesy9744]

Few questions: How big of a section do you clay with that towel at a time? And would it be better to rinse each section off as you go like in the video, or can you save the rinse for after you've gone over the entire car? I have hard well water, so it's typically a race against time between rinsing and drying my car off so I'd most likely have to dry each section a bit as well if the clay lube can't sit on the car. Also, do you do anything special with the towel other than rinsing it off between panels?

[@CarCraftAutoDetailing]

The less contamination on the vehicle the larger sections you can clay, but if its quite heavily contaminated I’d stick to a square or half meter square at a time. You should rinse before your clay lube or chemical starts to dry on the paint, so that will depend on your lube and weather conditions, and yes I just rinse the towel off - mist of the particles will actually be suspended on the car panel as they don’t stick to synthetic clay as much as they do to traditional clay

Still i wonder how bowdens 3 in 1 products will be reviewed as that is supposed to be a iron and wax remover and decon all in the one product? Also sandro just asking i think checkered or weave type clothes are great for cleaning glass and also any glass cleaning towels must be new even if you wash then the soap used still leaves a residue thus you have minor haze in the glass, i remember using metho and newspaper to clean the glass on my VB SLE and also the XB GT?

My biggest complaint with synthetic clay is I can't see what I'm pulling off. I like being able to look at the clay and visibly see what's coming off the panel and how much.

[@frandanco6289]

Keith Olsen, I know, it;s been a year.... :) What you have to do when you have no "visual" like the claybar surface, is to work that section of the panel, carefully wipe it or blot the moisture off, and run your clean, dry, hand over that section.. Do you feel the little irregularities on it?? If so, you need to over it again.... I posted at the top of this video some other info that will also help you do this most essential step before paint correction, and then your LSP, etc...

[@jdisdetermined]

@@frandanco6289 I hear you. Don't get me wrong, I like synthetics and they're definitely more efficient all around. And yes, you can certainly feel the panel and tell if it's free of contaminants. It's just not as satisfying as looking at the clay and seeing all the junk you're pulling off. It's more of a pleasurable thing for my OCD than it is necessary to make the process effective. Just like cleaners and soaps that make alot of foam are usually more fun and satisfying to agitate than those that don't. 😁👍
