Step by Step - How To Use
Steps
SELECT THE RIGHT CLAY:
Light Clay: For cars less than 1 year old or recently clayed within the past year.
Medium Clay: For cars 2–3 years old with moderate contamination.
Heavy Clay: For cars older than 3 years or with heavy contamination and visible roughness.
PREPARE THE CLAY BAR
Unwrap the Clay Bar: Remove the clay from its packaging.
Knead the Clay: Flatten and knead the clay into a disc-like shape (about the size of your palm). This ensures even pressure during application.
LUBRICATE THE SURFACE
Apply Lubricant Generously: Spray a clay lubricant or quick detailer onto a small section of the surface (e.g., 25% of the hood).
Key Tip: Lubrication prevents the clay from sticking to or scratching the paint.
GLIDE THE CLAY BAR OVER THE SURFACE
Apply Light Pressure: Hold the clay bar flat in your palm and gently glide it back and forth over the lubricated surface.
Feel for Resistance: The clay will pick up embedded contaminants. Resistance will reduce as the surface becomes smoother.
BUFF THE SURFACE
Rinse with Water: Thoroughly rinse the treated area with clean water.
Remove Residue: Use a clean microfiber towel to wipe off and dry the surface.
Inspect Thoroughly: Check each panel from multiple angles to ensure a smooth and even finish.
FINAL INSPECTION
Using a clean wash mitt, sponge, or foam applicator, dip into the shampoo solution.
Start cleaning from the top of the vehicle (roof and glass) and work your way downward to avoid dragging dirt to cleaner surfaces.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
Always use plenty of lubricant — never clay a dry surface to avoid scratches.
Replace the clay bar if it becomes too dirty or worn to prevent reintroducing contaminants.
Follow up with polishing to refine the surface and achieve a flawless finish.

Made my wife’s Beamer shine like a diamond in a goat’s ass Definitely impressed with how easy it is to use this product. Goes on easy and buffs out with ease. Great value for the money. Would definitely recommend and I would buy again!
Fantastic Product I applied 2 applications within a week after 10 months my X1 is still sparkling and dirt doesn't stick to the paint. Fantastic👍🏻
Producto de calidad Aplicado posterior a la pulida y abrillantado, buenos Resultados en la aplicación con buena repelencia al polvo y al agua , facilitando las próximas lavadas
Graphene Product works Graphene products are great. Bonds and produces protection for your car
Money well spent I have tried tons of products and by far this has been the best ever, money well spent, very easy to apply, wait until it hazes and wipe off
It's ok-ish for this price I gave some time to review the product, I wanted to see how it would perform over about the month.First thing that I notice, that the water repellant quality isn't that great. I primarily was looking for water repellant. After 1 application, the water drops were consistently forming and there were a lot of water sheets on the windows(when droplets do not form). I did 2 more application (spread in time) and only after that it somewhat worked.It's hard for me to say how long it will last, it's been about the month and the main challenge for it is regular car washes, so far it holds.I covered the entire car, not just windows, I don't see much difference with the dirt, dust and water droplets.Overall for the same price there are more better solutions, even some of them will require longer application time (but it's worth it from my experience, since it lasted for almost 2 years. Doubt that this one will last as long, but I might be wrong here).TLDR: It's ok-ish for this price, may require multiple apllications to work.
A hard shell, and an easy sell! Applied a week ago (as 2 coats over 2 days) to my 20 year old Toyota. Easy to apply and quick to finish with a clean microfibre cloth, no buffing required. Half the bottle is left after 2 coats. The shine and depth of gloss is incredible, better than any other product I have used. A coworker commented on "how fresh" the paint looked. The surface is smooth and buttery. I replaced my wiper inserts after doing the car, and the surface was so slick that I almost slipped and fell while leaning against the front fender!A quick wash yesterday to remove some bird droppings (which came off with just hose pressure anyway) and the whole car was dry in about 10 minutes. Water does not want to be there. Morning dew became millions of tiny tiny beads rather than larger droplets. I applied it to all the glass too, however for the front windscreen, it did leave a faint haze that catches sunlight in a streak after using the wipers. Glass cleaner should remove any of that residue though.I have used "Testudines Wax" and "Megs" ceramic spray-on detailers, both were OK but only lasted for several weeks before they were noticably deteriorating, which put me off using them all over again. If you're going to be doing that every 2 months, you may as well stick to a regular wax.I would recommend this and would buy it again.
Unbelievable, shine and protection This stuff works amazing. It’s phenomenal. Water beats up like nobody’s business and beats up like crazy on my truck. Use it on the glass also the same results. Talk about a shame is unbelievable better than a new paint job. I will be back to get more.
Super shiney! Less noticeable dust. TBD how long it lasts and UV protection holds up Comes with gray cloth. Sprays with a grayish tint makes it easy to see where it lands. No scent which is great. Minivan paint color is Honda grayish white and clear coat looks super shiny! Cannot really tell if the paint itself is brighter or looking better. Did a double layer after letting 1st dry on the sunroof/top of windshield area, and hood. Also works well on the black trim around the windshield. Extra layer also at corners of van, door handles and bumpers. We live in dusty California and Constuction nearby is kicking up a ton of extra dust. While i can see some dust particles after touching the van i cannot tell by looking at it there is a dust layer, very little if any. Hoping to mostly protect clear coat from oxidation and feathering. Time will tell how long it lasts in hot dusty climate. Will update.
Great Stuff! Mrs. Approved I have put a couple other products on my 2022 BMW Black, it has always been clean and shiny, however this product gave it the extra touch to give car a glass/mirror shine. Very easy to apply and buff off. Overall can’t wait to apply second coat next weekend after washing it. Even the Mrs. said Wow! that looks Great!

My wheels were caked in brake dust that wheel cleaner wouldn’t touch. I used a piece of the heavy clay bar on them. It pulled the brake dust right out of the finish. They look silver again instead of grey.
I have a black BMW 5 Series, so I’m terrified of scratches. I used the Yellow (Light) bar with the GlideTech spray. Zero marring. It just lifted the dirt and left the paint perfect. Highly recommend for soft clear coats.
The lubricant bottle is huge (16oz)! I did my whole SUV and barely used half of it. You don’t need to be stingy with the spray.
The spray nozzle arrived in the “off” position and was a little hard to twist open, but once it started working, it misted fine. The clay bars are excellent, very pliable once you knead them a bit.
Easy instructions on the box. 1. Wash. 2. Lube. 3. Glide. 4. Wipe. Even my teenage son figured it out and detailed his first car. It looks brand new.
