How to Use
Wash and Dry: Thoroughly clean the vehicle before starting the decontamination process to remove loose dirt and reduce the risk of scratching.
Chemical Decontamination (Recommended):
For best results, dissolve ferrous contamination first using Good Stuff Iron Remover, which reacts with embedded iron particles before the mechanical claying stage.
Prepare the Clay: Mold the clay bar in your hands until it becomes soft and flexible.
Lubricate the Surface: Always use proper lubrication to minimize friction and prevent marring during the claying process.
Clay the Surface: Glide the clay bar gently over the paint using straight-line motions with light pressure.
Final Step: Wipe the surface clean using a microfiber such as the Work Stuff STORM Wash Mitt to safely remove residue and remaining lubrication. For precise cleaning around badges, trims, and tight areas before or after claying, use the Work Stuff DETAILING BRUSH BLACK ULTRA SOFT.
