How do you wash your car?

[CarCareProducts]

I've read around that a cheap option to using quick detailer when claybarring is instead to use detergent soap as a lubricant for the claybar. So basically have detergent with water on the surgace and claybar the paint.

Few things to note;

Quick Detailers contain glossing agents/polymers which seal the paint and add gloss (obviously) - So realistically you are contradicting the work you do here, do you want to strip the product off the car and contaminants or seal it in?

Detergents again, most being quite strong can stain the paintwork if they dry up and also cause staining on rubbers if left on to long or actually even short periods. The reason being is you are not using the product to its actual intention and using a different dilution at most times if you attempt to use it with a clay

Using a TRUE clay lubricant will make things very easy, prolong the life of the clay and not damage the paintwork in any way.
