Product Description

Bilt-Hamber: auto-clay soft


Manufacturers Say:

auto-clay soft provides a method of removing harmful contamination from vehicle paint finishes, improving its durability and increasing the gloss level of subsequent waxes. auto-clay soft is excellent for frequent use, less contaminated paint and winter / cold climate use.

Contamination can consist of tiny metallic particles from rail dust, brake dust and industrial fallout; or non-metallic substances such as tree sap, bird droppings or insect residue. It affects all paint finishes and can cause serious damage when left untreated. Surprisingly, even brand-new cars and trucks can suffer from paint contamination.

Metallic contamination is perhaps the worst offender; whilst stuck into the paint surface it corrodes and expands leading to the onset of paint film destruction. Paint contamination can be felt as a rough or gritty texture on the freshly cleaned paint's surface. To assess the degree of contamination on you car's finish simply rub your fingers gently over the freshly washed paint - to magnify the sensation place a piece of cellophane beneath your finger tips and gently rub back and forth - if your paint needs to be clayed you will feel the gritty texture. It is usual to find that horizontal panels such as bonnet roof and boot lid are the most affected.

auto-clay removes these particles effortlessly from contaminated surfaces leaving a glass- smooth ultra-clean finish perfectly prepared for the application of auto-balm, finis-wax, hydra-wax or micro-fine A clay prepared paint surface is not only free of damaging particles but will provide better shine and durability when treated with waxes etc.


Useage Guidelines:

Before using Bilt Hamber auto-clay thoroughly wash your car to remove any loose dirt. Direct sunlight should not fall on your car’s surface, and it’s best if the work area is relatively cool, but not cold.

To use Bilt Hamber auto-clay spray water with a plant mister on a small area of your car and rub the bar back and forth with light pressure. auto-clay should glide across your paint, keep the paint surface wetted thoroughly. auto-clay must not be used dry. Listen carefully - at first you will hear the bar as it pulls the particles away from the paint, the noise and friction will disappear quickly.

After a few passes with auto-clay, rub your fingers over the area to feel if the contamination was removed. Keep rubbing until all the contamination is gone. Finally, wipe the clay residue off with a soft terrycloth towel. Just like waxing, work in small areas.

What you should see coming off of the car and depositing itself on the clay bar is a reddish brown residue, this is what you want to see. As the clay bar becomes soiled, simply fold it over squash it out and keep going. Under no circumstances should the clay bar be used if dropped on the ground, inside or out! The clay bar is good for about 4 or 5 cleans on the average sized car. Once the paint is clean, wax your car immediately. 


Our Comments:

Bilt-Hamber auto-clay soft will safely and effectively remove contaminents and light overspray from your vehicles paintwork without the need for a clay lubricant. By all means, you can use a lubricant if you wish, but water alone applied through a spray bottle will do the job fine. Ideal for cleansing before re-waxing. For stubborn contaminents and overspray try Bilt-Hamber auto-clay regular.
