What Is Paint Decontamination?
Paint decontamination is an essential step in automotive detailing that removes stubborn, embedded contaminants from your vehicle's paint.

Finally, prepare your panels for wax or coatings with DIY Detail Panel Prep to ensure optimal adhesion and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Auto Finesse Glide Clay Lube 500ml is a specially formulated lubricant designed to aid in the clay bar decontamination process. It provides a slick surface, reducing friction between the clay bar and the vehicle's paint, ensuring a smooth glide and minimizing the risk of marring the paint surface.
To use CarPro Immolube Multi Purpose Lubricant Shake well, Spray over the sanding disc, polishing pad, or clay bar and over the work area. While claying, sanding or polishing keep surface lubricated if it starts to dry, Wipe off any renaming residue and wash the vehicle again with CarPro Reset shampoo.
While some people use alternatives like water or detailing sprays, it's recommended to use a dedicated clay bar lubricant like Gyeon Q²M Clay Lube Redefined. Gyeon Q²M Clay Lube Redefined is totally neutral and developed to work with any type and manufacture of clay bars. It does not affect the clay and remains safe for the most delicate bars. At the same time, it does not cause any staining on the paint.
It's advisable to reapply Auto Finesse Glide Clay Lube 500ml frequently during the clay bar process. If you notice the clay bar dragging or sticking, it's a sign that the lubricant has worn off, and you should apply more to maintain a slick surface and prevent potential damage to the paint.
