Product Information

CARPRO Polyshave Decontamination Towel is a simple and fast method to remove contaminants from the surface of exterior automotive finishes and glass. With advanced Rubber Polymer Technology bonded to a 12" x 12" Microfiber towel you have another excellent option from CARPRO for eliminating the need for detailing clay. Make sure your clay towel stays lubricated as you continue working on the vehicle. Once you have finished every panel, your vehicle is properly decontaminated. If your hands easily cramp and you regularly clay bar your car, we think you’ll love this innovative tool! The vast majority of customers are over the moon about this clay combo, but a few complain that it is not harsh enough to remove heavily contaminated surfaces. We completely get that: we advise to start with a medium grade clay bar if your car paint has been neglected, then switch to the fine grade. If it’s been a long time since clay has touched your car paint, maybe Adam’s Medium Grade Clay Bar is the better choice. It’s a little more abrasive and handles heavier contamination and even overspray much better. With this medium grade clay bar however, polishing afterwards is advised to remove possible light marring, especially on soft or dark-colored car paints.

Gently rub the Ultra Clay Towel or Mitt over the lubricated area until contaminants are removed and surface is smooth. Wipe area with a Microfiber Drying Towel. Continue in sections until the vehicle is fully decontaminated Easier to inflict marring on large areas –If you are not careful and don’t provide enough lubricant when using a clay towel, you can do a lot more damage in a shorter space of time to the paintwork of a car First wash your car very thoroughly and park it somewhere in the shade. Hot car paint is too soft to clay bar and would easily scratch. Always work with an abundant amount of clay lubricant to prevent scratching up your car surface. Don’t use soap of any kind as a lubricant, it’s not as effective and it will make your clay bar brittle and fall apart.

Maybe it’s because our test car’s paint was really rough, but it took several passes to get the car coating right. Guess we should’ve bought the medium grade towel for this car… The final result was very good however. The car’s paint wasn’t perfect to start with but there didn’t seem to be any more marring than before using this towel and the surface was smooth as silk. What we liked most about this towel is that it can reach places a bar or mitt can’t. Compared to the other clay towels we tried, we liked this one best because of its handy 12”x12” size and high-quality grippy clay surface. Reusable –Unlike Clay bar, Clay towels are reusable. If you drop the towel on the floor you can just rinse it off with water before returning to the paintwork.

Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. However, in your hurry don’t forget to always first spray a generous amount of lubricant as an extra layer of scratch protection between the mitt and your paint. In our experience, doing a cleaning procedure more extensively in one go saves time compared to doing it less extensive twice. Just to be clear: we doubled the initial number of passes, we did not apply more pressure. Afterwards, it felt smooth as butter, awesome result! The Atomiza Clay Towel should be used out of direct sunlight, on freshly washed bodywork and glass that is cool to the touch. For best results, wash and rinse your car as usual and then, working on one panel or window at a time, spray both the surface to be treated and the polymerised rubber face of the towel with a suitable lubricant (we recommend using Auto Finesse Glide, although other clay bar lubricants may also be used). Next, fold the towel in half and then half again (with the rubber side out), then lay it on the panel and, using light pressure, begin rubbing it gently in straight lines in all directions. Initially you will feel some resistance (as the towel encounters bonded contaminants), but gradually this will ease until the towel glides freely, indicating that the contaminants have been fully removed and perfect smoothness restored. Repeat these steps until all of the bodywork and glass is done, and then rinse the whole car thoroughly and dry it off. The great thing about a clay mitt, is that it is so easy and fast to use. No hassle, just dip it in clean soapy water and gently rub away all contaminants in straight strokes. Up/down and side to side like you would with a classic clay bar, but you cover more ground faster.The Atomiza Clay Towel is designed to replace a traditional clay bar in the decontamination process, and offers significant advantages in terms of efficiency and value for money. The Atomiza Clay Towel comprises a thin layer of polymerised rubber bonded to a closed-loop microfibre towel. Two different versions of the rubber are used to produce two different grades of the towel; medium and fine. The Atomiza Clay Towel works in a slightly different way to a traditional clay bar; instead of relying on abrasive particles to gradually abrade away bonded contaminants, the Atomiza Clay Towel uses its polymerised rubber surface to grab and shear off such contaminants. As a result, it cleans the surface much faster than a clay bar. Spray a clay lubricant on the clay towel & over the entire vehicle, focusing on one panel at a time. Wash your car as normal (use a car shampoo and not washing-up liquid, it can damage the paint). Make sure your bodywork is still damp before beginning to clay bar it. Why should you do something by hand if you can do it faster and better with a machine? That’s certainly true in most cases, but it does not apply to clay barring. While claying with a polisher and a special hook-and-loop adapter pad seems the easy, fast way to go, we do not recommend it. We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

If you own a daily driver that’s seen some miles but you want to keep it in optimal shape with the least amount of work, Adam’s Clay Mitt & Detail Spray might be the right choice. It’s the fastest claying option out there with respect for your car paint. If you use it with Adam’s Detail Spray , it’ll outperform all other clay mitts on the market. Thoroughly rinse the surface and use a fresh microfiber cloth to dry the area. The surface should be smooth to touch. This can be verified by placing your hand in a thin plastic bag and lightly running it over the surface. The difference was night and day! Gone was the rough gritty surface. It felt smooth as silk. In fact, as you are rubbing the mitt, you can feel surface resistance diminishing with each pass. In no time, our red test car’s clear coat looked and felt rejuvenated! Rinse, soap, lube, caress… This ain’t work, it’s therapy!Your car gets contaminated from road dirt/grime and brake dust as you drive on the roads. These contamination particles embed themselves into your cars clear coat which makes it very difficult to remove. Bonded surface contaminants cannot be removed by washing alone. If it still doesn’t, you can either clay bar it again with the same fine grade clay or use medium clay instead to speed up the process. Heavy clay should only be used in extreme circumstances like to remove heavy overspray because you may have to polish your car’s paint afterwards to remove the marring that heavy clay potentially leaves.

Car surface decontamination by means of claying or clay-barring is often skipped or overlooked. That’s because most people don’t know or misunderstand this vital step in the car exterior detailing process. A Clay Cloth can be cleaned and reused by simply rinsing with clean water and leaving to air dry. (Do not machine wash or wring out the towel as this can damage the materials on the cloth) Pre-soak the Clay Cloth in water prior to use. Using a suitable solution, we recommend a pH neutral car shampoo, start wetting the cars surface you want to remove contamination from with the microfiber side of the Clay Cloth.

Do the plastic bag test: Before you start claying, gently rub the car surface with a plastic zip bag wrapped around your hand. You will feel roughness and hear a scratching sound. After you’ve done a few passes with the fine grade clay, repeat the zip bag test. It should now feel smooth as silk, without the scratching sound. Before you start claying your car surface, first wash your car thoroughly. When you’ve done that, you can safely use a clay towel or clay mitt: Important: If you accidentally drop your clay bar (yep, we know the feeling), throw it in the trash can! It will be littered with dirt and grit. Believe us: It will scratch your car for sure, it’s just not worth it. Grab a new clay bar instead.
