If you’ve ever purchased a clay mitt, you may have noticed that only one side has the synthetic clay surface, while the other side is made of microfiber. This design is intentional and offers practical benefits for both professional auto detailers and DIY car care enthusiasts. Let’s break down the reasons behind this design and why BrilliaTech clay mitts deliver superior performance.

The design of clay mitts typically involves having synthetic clay material on one side to effectively remove contaminants from the car's surface.

This design allows the mitt to be used like a sponge, with the clay side facing the car's surface for gentle but effective cleaning.

The other side of the mitt, often made of microfiber or another soft material, helps to spread cleaning products or rinse off residues without scratching the paint.

This combination provides a balanced approach to cleaning and detailing a car's exterior.

Why Clay Mitts Have Synthetic Clay on Only One Side

1. Control and Safety

Having clay material on one side prevents accidental scratches. When flipped, the microfiber side allows you to safely wipe or hold the mitt without risking damage.

2. Dual Functionality

Clay Side: Removes bonded contaminants like brake dust, sap, overspray, and tar.
Microfiber Side: Wipes down surfaces, applies lubricant, or finishes drying.

3. Ergonomics and Usability

Lightweight and flexible.
Easier grip without extra bulk.
Reduces hand fatigue compared to dual-sided synthetic surfaces.

4. Durability and Cost Efficiency

Clay coating is the most expensive part of the mitt. Applying it to one side keeps the product affordable and long-lasting without compromising performance.
