When to Use a Clay Mitt After Washing Your Car

Wash and rinse the panel first. A clay mitt is useful when the clean surface still feels rough from bonded contamination. Work on a cool panel and follow the finish manufacturer’s guidance, particularly for matte paint, wraps or protective film.

What to check on the product

Microfiber and clay mitt, approximately 8.7 × 5.7 inches. Select a single or two-piece option as labeled. See the Clay and Microfiber Detailing Mitt for Paint Decontamination for the available options and additional photos.

Putting it to use

Lubricate a small test area and move the mitt with light pressure. If it drags, stop and check the lubrication and working surface. Wipe and inspect that section before continuing. Remove the mitt from use if debris is embedded in it.
