The Future Of Automotive Clay Is Here… And It’s GOOD!

The Future Of Automotive Clay Is Here… And It’s GOOD! Claying is an important decontamination step to remove harmful particles and dirt from your car’s paint. Clay bars remove contaminants that a regular wash leaves behind. But there has been an evolution to the traditional clay bar, and you’ll learn everything about it in this video!

Most cars and trucks have tiny contaminants embedded in their paint’s clear coat and a regular car wash will not remove those. Those contaminants can include dirt, grime, brake dust, rail dust, industrial pollution, paint overspray, tree sap and more.
A clay bar will gently pull and lift the bonded contaminants off the surface and leaves the paintwork feeling smooth like glass, ready for polishing or the application of a wax or sealant.
These days, we use synthetic clay media, which isn’t as abrasive as traditional automotive clay, to decontaminate your car’s paint safely and quickly. Synthetic clay lasts much longer, you don’t have to throw it away if you drop it. Just rinse, and reuse. And it’s much gentler on the surface, as it doesn’t contain any abrasives, so less chances of marring the paint’s surface when claying using a synthetic perforated clay media.

[@neilwalker5041]

This video was informative and worth watching again. I have been using the DIY perforated synthetic decontamination towel for a year and wow does it work. Only once did I have to bring out the Rag Company clay bar for a heavily contaminated vehicle. A fun fact about the DIY iron remover is how well it cleans too. On a job once I was on the platform ladder and noticed heavy contamination where the windshield and glass meet as this had not been cleaned in over ten years. I did not want to get down the ladder so I sprayed DIY iron remover into a detail brush and this instantly cleaned the heavily contaminated paint. Ceramic Gloss used with the clay n seal along with DIY rinseless wash is money. I do like the smaller clay mitt from the Rag Company for cleaning the glass on the interior side and I need to pick one up. Thank you for another cutting edge video Pan!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback Neil! I hope you'll have a great weekend!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you 😊

[@TheCarDetailingChannel]

These synthetic clay products make the process so much quicker. I don’t reach for a traditional clay bar very often anymore. I use TRC clay scrubbers.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Same here! I pretty much have no need for traditional clay bars anymore.

[@mikev1766]

EXTREEEMLEY informative; thank you! I was taught how to clay bar almost over a decade ago by my uncle (but didn't know about micro-marring from it till much much later). Saw some of these coming out recently...but was stuck in my ways a bit (also b/c had a fresh clay bar in package still). This video has converted me for next year when I clay my car and the family car; these just sound like the best of most.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lindavent9490]

I've been waiting for this topic to be covered in detail. I'm not comfortable using a clay bar and wasn't sure about using a clay mitt or towel, or which one's to use. This has clarified things, so thank you Pan.

[@theredscourge]

If you use a clay towel, do not forget to prime it by scrubbing a wet windshield with it first! Then remember that you are NOT supposed to apply any pressure at all against the paint.

[@jngtruong]

Thank you for the detail explanation. I like the last part of the video where you mentioned about claying and sealing. This would really help motivate me to take care of my car and not feel bad spending hours away from my family.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jngtruong]

Just watching another past video of yours on the P&S Bead Maker…. How would you compare P&S Bead maker to Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray? I had watched your previous vide and learned about Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray and have used it since. But after watching your yesterdays video, i am curious about P&S. I’m a weekend DIYer and by no means an expert but LOVE to keep my car shinny smooth, water beading results and of course gain time back.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can’t compare both products. Bead Maker is just a regular paint sealant. Not ceramic. It doesn’t last that long (3-4 weeks in general). Where it excels is for gloss and slickness. So we use it as a maintenance topper over existing protection. The Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating is a long term ceramic based protection. If you apply two layers, 24 hrs between layers, it can last 8-9+ months. So you don’t use the Turtle Wax for regular weekly washes. But you could use Bead Maker after each wash as a drying aid if you wanted.

[@jngtruong]

Excellent breakdown and explanation of all these new perforated clay towels and how they can be used. Most comprehensive video I’ve seen so far on this topic. Lots of good tips. I’ve become a big fan of using the new Rag Company clay blocks and towel with DIY iron remover as per this video. Works amazing and huge time saver. Haven’t tried clay & seal yet so will try that next. Once Carzilla gets the DIY towel in stock I’ll for sure be purchasing.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@diydetailofficial]

Thank you

[@shadowviper957]

So will these allow more often claying/decontamination without removing paint protection without needing to polish or compound after use like traditional clay media? I know you mentioned it some but some clients cars always have tons of new tar or the little fallout dots that still stick to the ceramic coating

[@nomad509]

I wish I would have thought about the folding method when I first got my UCT. I recently picked up the scrubber back in June when was visiting TRC and absolutely love it but you definitely have a point, the towel is still a crucial tool for those hard to reach spots because of the flexibility.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

👍🏻

[@ashc3765]

A local Australian company Bowden’s Own has a claying rubber block that also works pretty well 👍🏻

[@CENSOREDFORSPEAKINGTRUTHS4380]

I bought a Maguires clay sponge recently and they are amazing,i clayed my whole car in around 2 hours and it came up as good as using a traditional clay bar. The best thing about these clay sponges is the contaminants wash straight out and you get many more uses out of one than a clay bar.

[@nicholosk7280]

Yasou Pan, Thank you for another great video! I have a 2014 Chevy Malibu which has Never been decontaminated. I did the “plastic baggie “ test and it feels like sandpaper after I washed it. I started using P&S Absolute rinse less car wash after watching your videos along with the laser cut sponge, etc. I am confused about which DIY products to use with the DIY clay towel and have the following questions: 1. Which is the order to use the DIY products - do I use the DIY Iron Remover first and/or instead of or I do I use the DIY Ceramic Gloss? 2. What is the difference between the DIY Quick Beads vs the DIY Ceramic Gloss? 3. Would it be possible if you do a demonstration on these products? I learn so much watching you and explaining your expertise “tips and tricks!” Thank you, NIKOS

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

I use the clay and seal method in my shop all the time using beadmaker and a clay mitt. Pan's advice on the mitt in terms of speed is spot on. You can go a lot faster and not sacrifice the quality of the outcome.

[@marshprofessionaldetailing9794]

@@JohnReynolds123 p&s have a great video with Pan showing how to use beadmaker as a clay lube but essentially you spray the clay mitt or panel, then glide across the panel with light pressure until it feels smooth. Then use your drying towel to dry the area you've worked on.

Pan, thanks for the great information! I will be getting the DIY clay towel to use on my vehicles. I purchased the traditional clay bars and tried it in an inconspicuous area and messed it up. So I did not clay bar my truck. I had to get the buffer out to correct the spot! I really do value you and appreciate all the awesome information you give us. I am not a professional and only work on my personal vehicles. I just like them done right. I have tried several detailers, but was never satisfied with their work!

Hello Pan!! Thank you for all the content you have created, it has been a great help for my project to start my car detailing business in the coming months, I have a question, using the clay towel and iron remover to decontaminate the paint together is not a process abrasive right? So it is not necessary to use a polishing machine before applying any spray sealant or ceramic coating?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

In theory, quality synthetic clay towels and mitts like the ones linked shouldn’t cause any marring. But test on an inconspicuous area first.

[@Cronff]

What a useful video! Thanks Pan 🙂 I did no detailing for several years... Great to see that claying has been made way easier and versatile. As it avoids scratching the clear coat, I guess if I want to renew a wax, there is no more need of polishing after mechanic decontamination, right? For a ceramic, it's a very simple prep to maintain it every 2 or 3 months. Thanks 🙏🏻

I myself, like the clay bar because I can "feel" the paint better and know when it's really working or if I need a heaver clay. Note: I only use a bar when used with a stripping wash soap and not once the car has been protected, then use a clay towel once a month after the whole car was protected. "Me and my clay bar are one with the car". It's also nothing for me to use 2 bottles of clay lube on a car, just so I know I'm getting enough lube.

[@ctsvmapper]

Agree that one advantage of a bar is that the clay bar gives you a true feel. Another trick is to cut small working bits so you dont rrash a whole or larger piece if it hits the floor

[@matthewwoolf8039]

PAN! I have a question!!! I’ve been spraying cars for years in a professional bodyshop in the UK. It gets very dusty in the Workshop from sanding. I want your opinion on the BEST way to remove the dust that collects on the car while it sits there waiting for the customer to collect. A quick air blow off, and a light wipe over with a California duster or? A detailer and clean lambs wool cloth perhaps? I do not want to wax or seal the car in anyway, or apply any detailer that requires moderate buffing or may cause smears. I just want to remove dust without causing scratches. And adding a super glossy deep slick shine, is secondary, and I only want that if it’s super easy and quick, otherwise, extra slickness doesn’t bother me, just want dust removal in that case. I want to do something that takes just 5 minutes and no effort, to clean dust off an entire car. I would consider a detailer that’s super fast to use and takes next to no effort to buff smears off nicely. I love Meguires detailer but still don’t know if what I do, puts tiny swirls in or not. What would you suggest? Worst part about detailers I find is getting it on the edges of windows ever so slightly, then trying to wipe it off cleanly, and the black sticky dirt on the rubber seals and plastic trims, rub along the edges of glass making it super hard to get the spray off nicely.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Never dry wipe a vehicle with California dusters. Those are not good for the paint! If there's only a VERY light layer of dust, you could use a plush microfiber towel and quick detail spray to lightly mist and wipe the surface. But ideally, I would always prefer a proper hand wash. There are no real miracles to avoid scratches unless you are using proper washing and drying methods.

[@chabaneouali1955]

Great video as usual! , I have a question for you Pan: Can these clay towels remove waterspots? Thanks

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks. For water spots, it really depends on how bad they are. You can certainly start by washing and claying and see if that works. From there you can also use a water spot remover. See if those work. If the spots are still there, it means the minerals started etching through the clear coat and you’ll need to step up the level of aggression to machine polishing. Beyond that it’s wet sanding or a panel respray. It’s a case by case scenario. Do testing and see what works.

Thanks for all your videos! all of them are awesome! Quick question, can i use Meguiars iron remover with DIY Clay Mitt?

Hey Pan. Great video as allways. Can you use the rag company towel on your vehicle as a maintenance after applying 2 coats of Turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray without removing or damaging the coating?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

With a true coating (glass bottle) no problem, but I haven't tried with just spray products. In theory, the perforated synthetic clay media should be to pull contamination without damaging the protection. But do a test and you'll see. The good thing is that if there is no beading left and the product seems removed, it takes just a few minutes to reapply a fresh layer. It's just a spray.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It depends how bad the water spots are. Always try the less aggressive methods first, and move up the ladder as needed until the spots disappear. If left unattended, water spots can start to etch through the clear coat and cause permanent damage. Levels of aggression: 1) wash the car 2) use a water spot remover 3) use a clay bar 4) machine polishing 5) water sanding 6) full panel respray

[@rajendrasiv1171]

Timely and very useful! I am new at this and not a pro detailer. When you clay and seal using the paint sealant recommended, does this mean you may not need to do a follow-up polish? I guess this is related to what @barneychamorrow asked earlier.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You got the steps reversed. You would machine polish (paint correction) before applying the protection. If you are claying and sealing, you are not correcting the paint. Paint correction is made to remove defects like swirls, scratches and oxidation. Then you apply a protection afterwards (wax, sealant or ceramic coating). A “clay and seal” is a different procedure, an accelerated method of simply decontaminating the paint and applying a small protection at the same time.

Hi Pan! Thanks for the video. Now I understand that I need clay pots on the car. It's feel like sandpaper as you call it. The car is 10 years old, mazada 2. it was clayed 7 years ago and 3 years ago. How many times can you make clay on a car? There are also a lot of swirls and scratches so I will have to do a heavy campaound polish and then a polish and then a wax. I can't get a ceramic coating at the moment.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

There are no limits as to how many times paint can be clayed, especially not with these new perforated synthetic clay media, as they don't have any abrasives in them. But you only clay a paint that needs it. When you wash the car, feel the paint. If it feels glass smooth, you can skip claying. If you feel contamination, grit or sandpaper like texture, it's time to clay. Typically, for a daily driver, claying once every six months is a good practice. In your case, you would wash the car, use an iron remover (brake dust), then clay, then machine polish, and apply your wax or paint sealant at th end of the process.

[@ThaWang]

Never used a clay bar/mit/etc thus far. However what is now confusing me, you stated after claying your car you follow up with a polishing step. doesnt the polishing step mess with the P&S bead maker as well? or is the polishing step only required for the bar and not the synthetic media? Thank you for the information, great video, kind of opens the claying option for me (synthetic towel)!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I think you are confused. The polishing step is recommended after the traditional clay bar is used, as clay bars are abrasive. But even after a clay bar, look at your paint. If it looks good to you, you can skip polishing. It's just that traditional clay bars can cause marring on the surface (microscratches) and if you do see that, and want to make the paint better in general, and also remove oxidation and other scratches and swirls that were in the paint, you do machine polishing steps. These new perforated synthetic clay media on the other hand are not abrasive (the ones mentioned in this video) and shouldn't cause marring if used correctly (i.e. with appropriate lubrication and no pressure while claying). Of course, test on an inconspicuous area first. So machine polishing isn't required after these new clay media. However, even if they don't cause marring, you paint potentially already had swirls, scratches, oxidation or needed some level of correction to increase gloss, clarity, etc, so you could still polish if you wanted to. You decide what you need.
