Clay is one of the primary staples of a detailer's arsenal. A perfect paint finish cannot just look amazing; it needs to have amazing texture as well. Believe it or not, texture has a huge impact on the overall look and durability of a paint's finish; clay is the key to that critical end result.

Clay rubs the paint finish by gently lifting bonded contaminants from the paint surface. Simple washing with products like Lumiere Auto Bath can easily remove most contaminants from the paint surface, but for contaminants that are heavily bonded like tree sap, tar, fallout, acid rain, and rail dust, you need to rely on clay to get your paint texture back to its virgin state.

Liberally applying Lumiere Lube to the surface, the clay is rubbed over the paint surface with moderate pressure. The areas that have been cleaned with the clay will be very obvious as you skim over them with the clay since they will have a drastically different texture and sound.

Like all Lumiere products, Paint Clay was designed with environmental impact in mind. We use Paint Clay daily to remove all bonded contaminants with confidence in its ability to deliver spectacular and consistent results without risking any possible damage to fragile paint finishes.

Use the mildest clay to get the job done. For newer vehicles, our Fine Grade Clay is ideal. For the average vehicle, and newer vehicles, our Medium Grade Clay is perfect. We use the Medium Grade on all our details. For the advanced detailer only, our Professional Grade Clay was developed to quickly clean the paint surface. This clay will leave behind small micro-scratches which will need to be machine polished. The advantage of this clay is it decontaminates neglected paint quickly and effortlessly.

No matter which clay you use, you can trust you're using a quality product that will last many years. Each of our containers has 3 clay discs that total 150 grams of clay. Each disc is designed to be used 3-5 times. An excellent value!
