Bilt Hamber Auto-Clay-Soft paint cleaning clay (200 g)

Bilt Hamber Auto-Clay-Soft

Soft decontamination clay designed for the gentle and effective removal of embedded contaminants from your car's paint surface. This product helps easily restore a perfectly smooth body surface, which is essential before applying waxes or sealants. Thanks to its specific formulation, it is an ideal choice for regular maintenance or for working in colder weather.

Regular car washes often cannot remove deeply embedded contaminants such as fallout iron, asphalt spots, insect remains or brake dust. These microscopic particles lodge in the pores of the paint and create a rough surface that reduces gloss and shortens the lifespan of protective layers. Using this decontamination clay gently and safely releases all bonded contaminants, restoring the paint's original glass-like smoothness and preparing it for the next care step.

Choosing the right hardness depends on the condition of the paint and the ambient temperature. For heavily contaminated surfaces or when working in summer temperatures, the hard Auto-Clay Regular is suitable. The medium-hard Auto-Clay Medium represents a balanced choice for normally maintained paint. This soft variant Auto-Clay Soft is the gentlest on paint, ideal for frequent cleaning of well-maintained vehicles and remains sufficiently pliable even at low winter temperatures.

Before mechanical decontamination, chemical decontamination of the paint is recommended. An ideal helper is the highly effective fallout remover Bilt Hamber Korrosol, which dissolves metallic particles before using the clay, significantly extending its service life. The mechanical decontamination process itself requires sufficient lubrication; in this case plain clean water is enough, after which the clay glides smoothly like a hockey puck on ice and leaves the surface perfectly clean and ready for polishing or waxing.

How to use

• Thoroughly wash the car with a suitable car shampoo before starting decontamination.
• Do not work in direct sunlight and make sure the body panels are cool to the touch.
• Tear off only a small piece from the whole block and shape it into a flat pebble.
• Apply clean water as a lubricant to the surface being cleaned using a spray bottle.
• Gently move the clay back and forth over the lubricated surface without pressure. The clay must never be used on dry paint.
• At first you may hear a slight rustling, indicating contaminants being captured. Once the sound stops, the surface is clean.
• Continuously check the smoothness of the paint with your fingertips.
• After cleaning a section, wipe away residual water and loosened contaminants with a microfiber towel.
• Regularly fold the dirty side of the clay inwards so you always work with a clean surface.
• If the decontamination clay falls on the ground, discard it immediately—there is a risk of scratching the paint by embedded dirt.
• After finishing, treat the paint with wax or another paint protection product.
