Clay bars are the most traditional and widely used type of clay product. They are made from a soft, malleable material that is designed to pick up and remove contaminants without damaging the paint. Clay bars come in various sizes and grades, fine to coarse. They are easy to use, but can be time-consuming, as you have to knead the bar to expose a clean surface as you go along. Furthermore, if a clay bar is dropped it must be trashed, as the contaminants it picked up from the ground could scratch your paint. 

CLAY MITTS
