What Is Clay Bar Lubricant?

Clay bar lubricant is a specialized detailing spray designed to reduce friction between a clay bar (or clay towel/pad) and your vehicle’s surface. It helps:

Glide the clay bar smoothly over paint
Prevent scratches, marring, or swirl marks
Lift away bonded contaminants safely

Without proper lubricant, using a clay bar can damage your clear coat.

Why You Should Never Clay a Car Without Lubricant

Even if your car looks clean, it likely has invisible contaminants like:

Brake dust
Tree sap
Industrial fallout
Hard water spots

These cannot be removed by washing alone.

Using a clay bar without lubricant can grind these particles into your paint. That’s why a high-quality clay lube like Brilliatech's is essential for safe decontamination.
