Surface Cleaner Clay

Press this sticky clay onto finished surfaces to remove specks of dirt, flecks of paint, and other particles that are not easily washed off. Also known as detailing clay, it pulls up even microscopic contaminants that dull the finish and prevent coatings from bonding to the surface. Use it to prep painted and coated surfaces before applying wax or polish. Spray your surface with water to keep the clay from sticking—this clay will still pick up particles when it's wet. Knead and stretch the clay between uses.

Multisurface Polishing and Refinishing System

Make scratched, faded, and worn surfaces look like new. Often used on vehicle or machine exteriors, the compounds in this system help you improve the finish on painted or coated materials. They’re water-based and free of silicone or other fillers, so it’s easy to wash them off.

Use polish/cleaner to remove scratches and imperfections. Start with the polish that’s closest to the grit you sanded with, then work your way up through polishes for higher grits until you achieve the finish you want.
