The purpose of a clay bar lubricant is to allow the clay bar to move easily across the surface of the paintwork.It is not a good idea to bring anything in contact with the paint which could potentially cause surface marring or scratches. Rubbing a dry paint surface with a dry clay bar (or anything else for that matter) could potentially cause more harm than good. As well as the issues with marring, not using lubrication can also leave small, difficult to remove, pieces of clay behind on your car's paint. And trust us, this is an absolute nightmare!
We designed Lubed specifically to combat this problem. It contains lubrication surfactants designed to aid glide and lubricity when used in conjunction with any clay bar, plus advanced cleaning agents to help the decontamination process.
