All three grades in one kit. The complete set of Bilt Hamber Auto-Clay bars – Soft 200g, Medium 200g and Regular 200g. These clay bars are designed to effortlessly restore the factory smooth finish to paint finishes, and have received critical acclaim in the detailing industry for being the most durable, cost-effective and well-designed clay bars available today.

Auto Express Best Clay Bar, year after year. Auto Express magazine has awarded Auto-Clay its Best Clay Bar Award every year for five years running. In one test comparing clay cloths to clay bars, they concluded that bars were better, and that Auto-Clay was the pick of the bunch once again.

Which clay bar should you use?

• Regular – if the vehicle is heavily contaminated, has never been clay-barred before, or it's hot summertime. All clay bars become firmer when cold and softer when warm.
• Medium – for paintwork in reasonable condition. The easier folding of the clay to expose a fresh working surface is very beneficial.
• Soft – if the paint is in good condition, if you like to clay your vehicle frequently, or if the weather is cold.

Why use a clay bar? Assess the degree of embedded metallic and brake dust debris that has entered the surface of your paint film by gently rubbing the paint with your fingertips, and feel for the grittiness these damaging particles impart. Auto-Clay effortlessly removes these particles, leaving the paint glass-smooth, and discolouring road film is gently lifted too. Claying makes a world of difference when lubricated with plenty of water and hardly any pressure – the bar glides like an ice hockey puck and is pleasant and satisfying to use. Not only does the paint feel and look a lot better once clayed, but the next stages of paint care progress far more smoothly, as cleansers, waxes and polishes glide across the surface far more easily.

Pre-treat with Korrosol. It is highly recommended that before using a clay bar the paint is pre-treated with Korrosol Fallout Remover. This high-activity cleaner removes embedded metallic particles in a simple spray-on, rinse-off action, so the Auto-Clay bar lasts longer and concentrates its action on the remaining contamination.

How to Use

1. Check the paint. Run your fingers over freshly washed and dried paintwork. A rough, gritty texture is caused by embedded particles – bonnets are often the most contaminated.
2. Prepare. Thoroughly wash the car to remove any loose dirt. Keep the car out of direct sunlight; it's best if the work area is relatively cool, but not cold.
3. Lubricate. Mist clean tap water over a small area (2–3 square feet) using a plant mister. Keep the surface thoroughly wetted – Auto-Clay must not be used dry.
4. Clay. Rub the bar back and forth with light pressure. At first you will hear the bar pulling particles away from the paint – keep moving until the noise and friction disappear.
5. Check and wipe. Feel the area with your fingertips and keep going until all contamination is gone, then wipe off the clay residue with a soft terrycloth towel. Work in small areas.

Pro tip: as a bar becomes soiled, fold it over, squash it out and keep going. Never use a bar that has been dropped on the ground. Once the paint is clean, apply Double Speed Wax or your chosen protection immediately.
