Chemical Guys Medium Duty Clay Bar & Luber Kit CLY_KIT_2

In the competitive world of mobile auto detailing, staying ahead means constantly seeking out innovative products that not only improve efficiency but also elevate the quality of work. The introduction of Chemical Guys WAC_CLY_100_16 Clayblock and Clay Synthetic Lubricant and Detailer into our service offerings has been a game-changer, transforming how we achieve that coveted sleek, showroom finish on every vehicle we touch.

Chemical Guys’ reputation for quality and effectiveness is well-known in the detailing community, but the Clayblock system has exceeded even my high expectations. The combination of the synthetic lubricant and detailer with the innovative Clayblock has streamlined the clay barring process, making it faster, easier, and more effective than traditional methods.

The genius of the Clayblock lies in its ease of use and durability. Unlike traditional clay bars that can be tricky to handle and degrade quickly, the Clayblock’s design allows for a firm grip and uniform application, ensuring that every inch of the vehicle’s surface is treated. Paired with the synthetic lubricant and detailer, it glides over the paint, effortlessly lifting and removing contaminants that washing alone can’t address.

What impressed me most was the versatility of the Clayblock system. It’s effective on a wide range of contaminants, from industrial fallout and brake dust to bird droppings and tree sap, without the risk of marring the paint. This versatility has allowed us to offer our clients a comprehensive detailing service that restores the smoothness and shine of their vehicle’s exterior, regardless of the challenges presented.

The feedback from our clients has been overwhelmingly positive. Many have remarked that their vehicles have never looked better, noting the glass-like smoothness of the paint and the depth of the shine achieved. This level of client satisfaction has led to increased loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals, driving the growth of our business.

Sharing our experiences with the Chemical Guys Clayblock system through social media has also garnered attention and interest. Demonstrations of the product in action have highlighted its effectiveness and efficiency, sparking conversations and engagement from both enthusiasts and professionals in the auto care industry.

In conclusion, the Chemical Guys WAC_CLY_100_16 Clayblock and Clay Synthetic Lubricant and Detailer has become an indispensable tool in our detailing arsenal. Its innovative design, combined with its effectiveness in removing surface contaminants, has not only enhanced the quality of our work but also contributed to our reputation as a leading mobile auto detailing service. For anyone looking to elevate their detailing game, I cannot recommend this system highly enough. It’s not just a product; it’s a cornerstone of professional detailing excellence.

I have to say that this is one of the best clay lubricants out there. There a lot of people who think it unnecessary to use a product like this when claying your car, but this keeps your clay wet for even large areas. That’s what you want so you don’t create scratches.
The clay bar itself works well. Holds its shape and lasts for a good amount of time before you need another piece of clay. I would highly recommend this product

This clay bar and lubricant kit works great. It easily removed surface paint contaminants from my car. It is simple to use and does the job well. Would recommend.

This made quick work on a big 3/4 ton truck! I bought a new truck that sat on the lot for 10 months. Had to clay bar it a couple times and wax it a couple times to really get it back looking best. The residue came up quickly and thanks to the lubricant spray I was able to do the entire truck in 35-40 minutes. Then wash and wax and the shine and finish were much improved.

Fantastic product, BUT you MUST know how to use it. So many negative reviews are “user error”, because this stuff requires skill and a lot of patience (not to mention an arm/shoulder workout).
The clay is the perfect composition, easy enough to work, but it doesn’t break up or disintegrate even with aggressively working at my windshield (I wouldn’t work that hard on the paint).
I have not tried the “heavier” versions as I have a newer vehicle and the paint is well maintained (my family would say “obsessively” or “babied”), I just don’t know about the “black” one, you want the clay to have a color where you can see it is dirty.
The luber is good, but just about any detail spray will work, just DON’T do a “quick wax” or “wash and wax” with clay, you gum up the clay and lock the contaminates into the paint instead of lifting them off. Not a fan of the bubble gum smell, but there are worse smells out there (I’m looking at you Turtle Wax).
Clay has 2 purposes: 1. Full decontamination or 2. Spot removal of tar, sap, etc. I’ve used it for both now with great results. My most common use is removing tree sap from paint and glass without resorting to a harsh cleaner.
After taking delivery of my new vehicle, I expected there to be some amount of “rail dust” and other contamination from the shipping process. I wasn’t wrong and this worked wonders.
Before doing any kind of sealant on the paint, you want to make the clay bar part of this process: 1. Deep clean wash (something like “Clean Slate” or Dawn or a De-greaser), 2. Chemical decontamination with an iron remover, 3. Clay bar to mechanically remove any remaining contaminants. Finish up optionally with mechanical polishing (new car so I’ll do this next year), then a sealant, wax, or coating.
Working with a clay bar: 1. Tear or cut off a small piece (1/4 of the bar) removing ANY plastic wrap, there are plastic sheets on BOTH sides of this bar, absolutely be sure it is gone and it is very sticky so this isn’t easy, 2. spray the clay and your fingers with the luber, 3. work the clay into a half dollar size disk, feel for any odd textures (pieces of plastic left over, I found one once), 4. spray luber on a 1-2 foot section of paint, 5. working in small circles over that section a couple of passes, add more luber as needed, it should ALWAYS be gliding across the paint or glass, never sticking or dragging, 6. wipe off with a microfiber towel and inspect visually and tactility it should be a tad shinier and be incredibly smooth, 7. the clay should now have some amount of discoloration (love the yellow color as it shows this VERY well), fold it over, knead it back into a disk so a clean surface shows again, go back to step 4 and repeat over the entire vehicle paint and glass. IF the clay has become dark to the point you can’t get a clean surface OR you have dropped it on the ground, DISCARD IT and get another piece. That last bit is critical, if the clay itself gets contaminated too much it will start to scratch the paint.
