Using a clay bar is one of the most important steps in professional auto detailing.
Whether you run a car wash business, a detailing center, or you are a global distributor, understanding how to use a clay bar properly will dramatically improve your polishing, waxing, and ceramic coating results.
Brilliachem — China’s largest automotive cleaning product factory (SGS, ISO, BSCI certified) — manufactures premium clay bars and full clay bar kits for global brands, distributors, and detailers. Our Carwashcn sales division delivers high-performance clay bar products to customers worldwide.
A clay bar is a specialized detailing material designed to remove embedded contaminants that washing cannot remove, including:
Industrial fallout
Brake dust
Road tar & asphalt
Paint overspray
Tree sap & mineral deposits
Oxidation particles
Even a perfectly washed car may feel rough to the touch.
A clay bar restores the paint surface to a smooth, clean, ready-for-polishing condition.

Clay bars remove micro-contamination that settles into the clear coat. This is critical for detailers who want flawless finishing results.
A clean, smooth surface allows coatings and waxes to bond longer and last longer.
Using a clay bar gives the surface a “glass-like” feel and maximizes gloss performance.
Removing contaminants first ensures that polishing pads do not drag dirt across the paint.
Remove loose dust and dirt to avoid dragging particles on the paint.
Brilliachem provides factory-made, high-lubricity clay bar spray to prevent scratching.
Knead the clay until soft, then flatten into a small pad for easy grip.
Move in straight lines, not circles.
If you feel resistance, add more lubricant.
Expose a clean section after each panel to avoid re-introducing contamination.
Use a microfiber towel to remove excess residue.
After claying, the paint is in perfect condition for protection and finishing.
