Clay Bars & Decontamination
Achieve a smoother, cleaner and better-prepared paint surface with our range of clay bars and vehicle decontamination products. Designed for enthusiasts and professional detailers, our range provides effective solutions for removing bonded surface contamination that regular washing alone cannot eliminate.
Our clay bars are available in a range of grades, including Super Fine, Fine, Medium and Heavy, allowing you to select the most suitable option for the level of contamination on your vehicle. Whether you're carrying out routine paint maintenance or preparing a vehicle for polishing, waxing or paint protection, clay decontamination helps leave the surface feeling smooth and ready for the next stage of detailing.
To support the clay bar process, we also supply clay lubricants and clay mitts, with clay towels being added to the range. Using the correct lubricant alongside your chosen clay product helps provide a smooth, controlled application and makes the decontamination process easier.

Clay Bars & Vehicle Decontamination
A thorough vehicle detail starts with properly prepared paintwork. While washing removes dirt and grime from the surface, it does not always remove the bonded contaminants that can leave paintwork feeling rough, uneven or less refined. Our Clay Bars & Decontamination range provides the products you need to safely and effectively prepare your vehicle's paintwork for polishing, waxing and paint protection.
Clay Bars for Effective Paint Decontamination
Our range of car clay bars is available in different grades to suit different levels of surface contamination. From regular maintenance through to more heavily contaminated vehicles, selecting the appropriate clay grade allows you to achieve effective decontamination while using the right level of cleaning power for the surface.
Our clay bar range includes:
For best results, start with the finer grade where possible and move to a medium or heavier grade only when the level of contamination requires it.
Why Use a Clay Bar?
Even after a thorough wash, paintwork can retain contaminants that are bonded to the surface. These can include industrial fallout, road film, environmental deposits and other contamination that cannot always be removed through normal washing.
Clay bar treatment helps remove these bonded contaminants, leaving the paintwork noticeably smoother and cleaner. A properly decontaminated surface can also provide a better foundation for subsequent detailing processes.
Clay decontamination is particularly useful before:
Clay Lubricants
A suitable clay lubricant is an essential part of the clay decontamination process. Lubrication allows the clay to glide smoothly across the paintwork, helping to minimise friction while the clay lifts bonded contamination from the surface.
Our clay lubricants are available in different options to complement your detailing routine and can be used with suitable clay bars and other compatible clay decontamination products.
Always ensure the surface remains well lubricated throughout the process and avoid working on dry paintwork.
Clay Mitts
For detailers who prefer an alternative to traditional clay bars, clay mitts provide a practical and convenient way to carry out paint decontamination. Their larger working surface can make them particularly useful when treating larger areas of a vehicle.
Clay mitts can be incorporated into a regular detailing routine alongside a suitable clay lubricant, providing an efficient approach to removing bonded surface contamination.
Clay Towels
Our range will also include clay towels, providing another option for vehicle paint decontamination. Clay towels are designed to offer a larger working area than traditional clay bars and can be particularly useful when working across larger panels.
As with clay bars and clay mitts, appropriate lubrication is important when using a clay towel to help ensure smooth movement across the paintwork.
Choosing the Right Clay Decontamination Product
The best product depends on the condition of the vehicle and the level of contamination present.
For lightly contaminated or regularly maintained vehicles, a Super Fine or Fine clay bar may be all that is required. Where contamination is more noticeable, a Medium grade may provide the additional cleaning power needed. For heavily contaminated surfaces, a Heavy grade can be considered where appropriate.
If you're unsure which product to choose, it is generally best to begin with the finer option and progress to a stronger grade only when necessary.
A Smoother Surface for the Next Stage of Detailing
Clay decontamination is an important stage between washing and more advanced paintwork treatments. Removing bonded contamination helps create a cleaner, smoother surface that is better prepared for polishing and the application of protective products.
Whether you're maintaining your own vehicle, preparing paintwork for a new wax or carrying out a complete professional detail, our range of clay bars, clay lubricants, clay mitts and clay towels provides a choice of products to suit different detailing requirements.
