Homebrew Clay Bar Lubes?

[g725s]

I did a search but did not find what I was looking for. Maybe I am not calling it the right thing. What would be a generic name for the liquid spray lube you would use for clay bar application?



And what are some good homebrew clay bar lubes?

Most people use a quick detailer for a lube... for me 99% of the time I just use plain water.

The generic name for it other than clay lube is just 'quick detailer'. Not a high end one with all levels of slickness but a cheapo would work.



as for homebrew-it's simple. Soapy water, just like what you wash your car with will work fine as a clay lube. Personally, I like ONR QD as aclay lube because I go through roughly 24oz of 'clay lube' for the average vehicle and ONR QD for the price can't be beat.

Diluted ONR for me.

jake hit it on the spot. sometimes ill put a drop or to of car wash soap in it but the important thing is to keep the surface wet while sliding the clay!
