Clay bars quickly remove overspray and paint contamination leaving the cleaned surface "smooth as glass". To work properly, all clays require a lubricant. Soapy water will work in a pinch but it provides only minimal paint protection and the detergents in some soaps can break down the clay causing it to disintegrate.
Pinnacle Miracle Clay Lubricant is specially designed to work with all clay bars, natural or synthetic (new Poly-clays). Clay Lubricant creates a microscopic barrier between the paint and the clay cleaning material. The high lubricity formula prevents loosened contamination from scratching delicate clear coat finishes yet it will not break down or degrade the integrity of the clay.
Directions: Mist a small area (2 sq. ft.) of the vehicle and rub clay cleaning material over the surface. The clay will "grab" at first. Continue lightly rubbing the clay over the surface until it moves freely. When the bar moves freely, the surface is clean. Wipe off any residues with a towel and proceed to the next area. If clay residues resist easy wipe off, re-mist the cleaned area with Pinnacle Clay Lubricant and wipe with a clean towel. Even stubborn residues will wipe off easily.
