DP Universal Detailing Clay

Clay your way to a silky smooth finish with a bright glossy shimmer!

(With free Wolfgang Clay lubricant for limited period)

Clear coat automotive finishes were created in the 1980s as a more attractive alternative to single stage paint finishes. This new type of finish was more prone to airborne contaminants and industrial pollution, so a new way of cleaning was in order. Contaminants become embedded in clear coats and the only way to remove them is by pulling them out rather than washing them off. Clay was invented in 1987 in Japan, and soon after an American company created its own version and began marketing it to detail shops and car dealers. Now clay is a widely available, mainstream cleaning option that professionals and hobbyists rely on to get their vehicles completely clean.

DP Universal Detailing Clay is a special clay compound that safely and quickly removes contaminants that lie below the clear coat surface. Clay works by grabbing foreign particles and pulling them out of the clear coat as you rub the bar across the paint surface. Washing only removes surface contaminants, but your vehicle may still have microscopic particles embedded in the clear coat. These particles are hard to see individually, but together they can cause dull, rough patches that detract from the paint’s appearance. DP Universal Detailing Clay will remove these contaminants and restore a glassy smooth finish to your vehicle. Once wax is applied, the paint will feel silky smooth and have a bright, glossy shimmer.

If industrial pollution, brake dust, bugs, tar, and sand are allowed to remain lodged in your vehicle’s paint, they create tiny openings in the protective clear coat. Over time, air and water can enter these openings and cause the paint system to fail. Claying your vehicle periodically will prevent paint system failure and enhance the performance of your favourite wax by creating an ultra-slick surface.

DP Universal Detailing Clay requires the use of a lubricant to ease the clay across the painted surface. Use Pinnacle or Wolfgang  Lubricant. Its high lubricity formula allows loosened contaminants to easily absorb into the clay. The clay material will glide, not stick and pull, if the bar is kept well lubricated throughout the claying process.  . Motorgeek.co.uk stocks both Pinnacle and Wolfgang clay lubricants

Clay can also be used to remove stubborn debris from wheels. Wash them first using DP Gel Wheel Cleaner. Spray Lubricant over wheel surface and clay your wheels just as you would clay the paint.

Since its introduction, detailing clay has been priced according to its limited demand. Now that the use of clay is more widespread, DP Universal Detailing Clay can be offered at a price that professional detailers and at-home perfectionists will enjoy. Experience the difference clay makes on your own vehicle with DP Universal Detailing Clay.

To use:
Use DP Universal Detailing Clay on a freshly washed vehicle. Spray area to be clayed with Lubricant. Gently rub the clay bar back and forth across the wet surface. Clay will grab initially. Continue moving the bar until it glides freely. Wipe off clay residue with a Microfibre Towel. (See motorgeek.co.uk accessories section) Reshape bar often to reveal clean clay as you work. Professional detailers know the secret to preserving and extending the life of the clay material is to spray the clay bar with lubricant prior to storing it in its plastic case.
