Clay Balls, Clay Pads & Colors – What Do They All Mean in Car Detailing?
The world of automotive clay products can be confusing—clay bars, clay pads, clay balls, and a rainbow of colors like purple, red, blue, or yellow… What do they all mean?
In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about these tools and why BrilliaTech’s full range of clay products is trusted by detailing professionals worldwide.
Understanding the Different Forms of Clay Products
1. Clay Balls
Clay balls are compact, spherical versions of traditional clay bars. They’re easier to grip, especially for DIY users or spot treatments.
1.Ideal for small areas (door handles, emblems)
2.Great for beginner-friendly use
3.BrilliaTech offers custom-colored and branded clay balls in various grades
Think of clay balls as "palm-sized power tools"—easy to use, easy to rinse.
2. Clay Bars
This is the most common type—flat, brick-shaped clay made for hand decontamination.
1.Available in 100g, 200g, 300g formats
2.Flexible and foldable
3.BrilliaTech clay bars come in fine, medium, and heavy grades with OEM packaging options
3. Clay Pads
Clay pads are synthetic rubberized discs that can be used with DA polishers or handheld blocks, perfect for fast large-area detailing.
1.Reusable up to 30–50 cars
2.Easy to rinse and less prone to dropping
3.BrilliaTech is one of the leading manufacturers of red clay pads, a best-seller in OEM markets
Detailing a fleet or high-volume shop? Clay pads will save time and effort.
What Do the Clay Bar Colors Mean?
Color isn’t just for style—it often indicates grade or coarseness:
| Color | Typical Grade | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| White | Ultra Fine | New paint, regular maintenance |
| Blue | Fine | Light contaminants, monthly claying |
| Yellow | Medium | Daily drivers with moderate fallout |
| Red | Heavy Duty | Neglected cars, overspray, tar |
| Purple | Professional Heavy | Commercial or industrial cleaning |
BrilliaTech offers color-coded product lines to easily identify and brand your clay grade levels.
