Clay bar
Anyone know where can I find some good deals on them & lubricant to use with them?
Most places I've found are freaking expensive. And Mother's kit is too small to do couple cars
Thanks

You can order a kit through us. The major difference is the size of the bar. Ours are 200g and are good to cut up into 4-5 pieces to use at different times. Typically what you'll see in the store are 50g or 80g bars so you get a lot more with our kits. We also have different grade bars, fine and medium.
200g Clay Bar + 16oz Clay Lube
200g Clay Bar alone
Let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

1. When used once, the surface of the clay will be contaminated, should I shave that up afterward?
2. What ELSE can be used as clay lube? Any quick spray on detailer? How about soap suds?

1. You can shave it or turn it "inside out" until the dirt on the surface disappears.
2. I use a soap/water mixture which I think works better than any spray wax out there.

You can use any quick detailer for the most part or a mix of shampoo and water. Generally speaking (referring to the post below yours) spray waxes are not good clay lubricants. There are many variations of "quick detailers".
- Ones with lots of cleaning power (which I like for clay use)
- Gloss enhancing quick detailers with no protection
- Carnauba based quick detailers for minimal protection and a wet look
- Polymer based quick detailers for more protection and a slick surface
Hope this helps.
