The global automotive detailing industry continues to grow rapidly, driven by rising vehicle ownership, professional detailing services, and consumer awareness of paint protection. Among surface preparation tools, the clay bar kit has become a standard product for both professional and retail markets.
However, successful OEM brands do not design one universal clay bar kit for every country. Instead, they customize product formulation, packaging, compliance, and positioning according to different regional market needs.
As an SGS, ISO, and BSCI certified manufacturer specializing in clay bar and surface preparation products, Brilliachem works closely with OEM brands worldwide to develop clay bar kits tailored for specific markets.
An OEM clay bar kit refers to a clay bar detailing product designed and manufactured by a factory but branded and marketed under a client’s own brand name.
A typical OEM clay bar kit includes:
Clay bar or clay mitt
Clay lubricant spray
Microfiber towel
Instruction manual
Custom packaging
OEM design focuses on:
Performance consistency
