{"product_id":"adbl-clay-mitt-paint-decontamination-mitt","title":"Clay Mitt Paint Decontamination Mitt","description":"\u003cp\u003eA clay bar does a headlight in the time a clay mitt does a door. The Clay Mitt is a polymer decontamination face bonded to the front of an 18 x 15cm wash mitt, so the whole hand becomes the tool: lubricate the panel, sweep, and the bonded tar, fallout and resin shear off in a fraction of the time. Drop it and you rinse it, rather than binning it. ADBL rate it for roughly 25 to 40 cars with care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolymer face does the job of a clay bar over a whole hand's width at once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoves tar, resin, asphalt, insect residue and bonded fallout from paint and glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse it clean mid-job, and rinse it if it hits the floor — a dropped clay bar is finished\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse face is a standard wash mitt, so it doubles as a lower-panel mitt on wash day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eADBL rate it for around 25–40 cars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 x 15cm — fits most hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the wash and after chemical decontamination (iron and tar removers), while the car is still wet, before polishing, sealing or coating.

Never use it with solvent-based products such as tar remover (they destroy the polymer face), and keep it away from temperatures above 40°C. Pre-treat heavy tar chemically before the mitt goes near it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClay Mitt or Clay Towel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSame polymer face, different format.
