Hi-Tech Industries 8oz JB Gray Clay Bar (HT-21GR)

The Hi-Tech Industries 8oz JB Gray Clay Bar (HT-21GR) is an essential tool for achieving a truly clean and smooth vehicle surface. Designed as a light-cut detailing clay, this product effectively and safely removes bonded surface contaminants that ordinary washing simply cannot. Over time, your vehicle's paintwork accumulates microscopic particles such as industrial fallout, brake dust, tree sap, road tar, and environmental pollution. These contaminants embed themselves into the clear coat, making the surface feel rough and gritty. The JB Gray Clay Bar works by gently lifting these impurities from the paint, glass, and metal surfaces, leaving behind a remarkably slick and refined finish. This crucial decontamination step is vital for preparing your vehicle for subsequent detailing processes like polishing, waxing, or applying ceramic coatings, ensuring these protective layers bond properly and deliver their full benefits for enhanced shine and longevity.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Effective Contaminant Removal: Specially formulated to lift and trap a wide range of bonded surface contaminants, including brake dust, rail dust, industrial fallout, tree sap, and road grime.
• Light Cut Grade: Provides a gentle yet effective cleaning action, minimizing the risk of marring or scratching the paint when used correctly with a lubricant.
• Smooth Surface Restoration: Transforms rough, gritty paint into an incredibly smooth, glass-like finish, which is essential for optimal detailing results.
• Prepares for Protection: Creates an ideal surface for the application of polishes, waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings, allowing them to adhere better and provide superior protection and gloss.
• Versatile Application: Safe and effective for use on automotive paint, glass, chrome, and other smooth exterior surfaces.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Weight: 8oz (approximately 210 grams)
• Color: Gray

HOW TO USE:

• Wash Your Vehicle: Thoroughly wash and dry your vehicle to remove all loose dirt and debris. This prevents scratching during the claying process.
• Prepare the Clay: Remove the clay bar from its packaging. If it feels stiff, knead it gently in your hands to make it more pliable. Flatten it into a workable pad, about the size of your palm.
• Lubricate the Surface: Work on one small section at a time, approximately 2x2 feet. Spray a generous amount of a dedicated clay lubricant or detailing spray onto the surface you are about to clay. Do not let the surface dry out during this step.
• Glide the Clay: Gently glide the flattened clay bar back and forth over the lubricated section using light pressure. You will initially feel some resistance as the clay picks up contaminants. Continue until the clay glides smoothly without resistance.
• Inspect and Knead: Periodically check the surface of the clay bar. When it becomes discolored with contaminants, fold and knead the clay to expose a fresh, clean surface.
• Wipe Away Residue: After claying a section, use a clean microfiber towel to gently wipe away any lubricant residue from the surface.
• Repeat and Finish: Continue this process, section by section, over the entire vehicle. Discard the clay bar if it becomes heavily contaminated, tears, or is dropped on the ground.
