Description
Clay mitt gloves are car detailing tools designed to remove bonded surface contaminants (like tree sap, brake dust, industrial fallout, and road grime) from your vehicle’s paint, glass, and other surfaces. They offer a more convenient and reusable alternative to traditional clay bars.
🔧 Key Features:
-
Material: A microfiber glove or mitt embedded with a polymer rubber or synthetic clay layer on one side.
-
Function: Gently lifts and removes contaminants from the vehicle’s surface that regular washing can’t.
-
Reusable: Lasts for 20–40 uses (or more) with proper care—far more durable than traditional clay bars.
-
Safe for Paint: Designed to be used with proper lubrication to avoid scratching or marring clear coat surfaces.
✅ Benefits:
-
Faster than traditional clay bars – covers more surface area and is easier to handle.
-
Comfortable grip – mitt or glove design fits over your hand for better control.
-
Dual-sided use – one side for claying, the other (usually microfiber) for wiping or light cleaning.
-
Reusable & washable, making it a cost-effective detailing tool.
🧼 How to Use a Clay Mitt Glove:
-
Wash the car thoroughly to remove loose dirt.
-
Apply a clay lubricant (or a car wash soap with good slickness).
-
Glide the mitt gently over the surface using back-and-forth motions.
-
You’ll feel resistance at first; as contaminants are removed, it’ll glide smoothly.
-
Wipe dry, then polish and wax or seal the surface if needed.
⚠️ Pro Tip:
Always use plenty of lubricant to prevent scratching, and avoid using the mitt if it’s dropped on the ground—just like a clay bar, it can pick up debris.
