Carbon Collective Exfoli-Block Interchangeable Clay Pad Refill Medium (Red)

Carbon Collective Exfoli-Block Interchangeable Clay Pad Refill Medium (Red)

The replacement polymer pad of medium hardness is designed for effective mechanical decontamination of paint within the Exfoli-Block system. This red clay pad is the ideal choice for removing common road contamination, airborne rust or tree sap residues. With its help you can easily restore the body's original smoothness and prepare it for subsequent application of protective layers.

Mechanical decontamination of paint is a key step before applying any waxes, sealants or ceramic protections. Traditional clay bars are often impractical, easily ruined if dropped on the ground and have limited lifespan. This innovative polymer disc, which serves as a refill for the Exfoli-Block system, completely eliminates these drawbacks. Modern polymer technology effectively captures contaminants from the paint surface without deeply embedding them into the material. If the pad falls on the ground during work, you can simply rinse it in a bucket of clean water and continue working without worry, which is not possible with classic clay.

The red medium-hard version (Medium) offers a universal solution for most everyday vehicles. It is designed to handle light to medium contamination that ordinary car shampoo washing cannot remove. The polymer surface gently yet thoroughly lifts fallout rust, industrial fallout, insect remains, tree sap and fine limescale deposits from the paint. The result is a perfectly smooth surface that maximises the adhesion of subsequently applied protections, extends their lifespan and significantly improves the final gloss. Thanks to its medium hardness, you achieve an optimal balance between high cleaning efficiency and safety for the paint.

Using interchangeable pads brings significant cost and time savings for professional detailers and enthusiastic amateurs alike. Instead of buying an entirely new block, you only need to replace the polymer pad itself, which attaches to the ergonomic holder with hook-and-loop. This system ensures a secure connection and even pressure distribution during work, minimising the risk of localised scratches. Regular decontamination with this tool ensures your vehicle's paint remains in perfect condition, free of microscopic contaminants that could eventually cause oxidation or degradation under protective layers.

How to use

• Before using the polymer pad, thoroughly wash and rinse the vehicle.
• Use the decontamination pad only on a clean and well-lubricated paint surface.
• Prepare a washing solution with car shampoo in a bucket to serve as a lubricant.
• Soak the pad in the prepared solution and, with light pressure, glide it over the bodywork to mechanically remove contaminants.
• After cleaning each panel, rinse the pad in the bucket and clean its working surface by hand.
• Repeat the process across all panels until the paint surface is completely smooth to the touch.
• After finishing, rinse the pad thoroughly with clean water and let it dry naturally.

About the brand
