I tried using the search engine for finding what type of lubricant to use with a clay bar (Zaino). My searches were for lubricant, clay, claybars but nothing seemed to turn up and I know I've seen the threads.



My question is what is safe to use as a lubricant with the claybar?
 
Dulited dar wash shampoo in a spray bottle. Zaino recommends their quick detailer (QD) Z6. Any QD should be fine also.
 
From the Zaino website:



We suggest mixing one cap full of Z-7 Show Car Wash with water in a 16 ounce spray bottle. Z-6 also works as a lubricant for Z-18 ClayBar, but Z-7 Show Car Wash is much more cost effective.
 
Why do you guys even go throught the trouble .....

Wash your car, while rinsing, clay with the hose water.....No need to use a QD (waste of $$), or another clean bucket of water and soap, or sprayer.....you have to rinse anyway, cut your process and time down with the rinse......
 
Patrick,



I don't recommend using water alone. Clay is abrasive and requires lubrication to "cut" without damage. A bucket of soapy water is a great way to clay after washing. I recommend keeping a soapy wash mitt in one hand to apply lubrication while you clay with the other. Done this way, you can clay a mid-size car in a matter of about 10 minutes.
