ONR Clay Lube caused Ultra-Poly Clay bar to deteriorate
Hi everyone,
Just like the title stated. I used a diluted ONR as a clay lube and it caused my Pinnacle Ultra-Poly clay bar to deteriorate while being used on the car. The clay started to leave deposits as if it was coming apart. Anyone had this happen to them too?

Awww man sorry to hear that happened. Personally I dont dillute ONR for clay lube. I just buy a dedicated QD product. No issues, even when mixing QD & Clay Bar brands.

I exclusively use ONR diluted to clay lube and Meg's fine clay. I have never experienced this problem.

Do you find it better than regular QD? If so at what dillution ratio?

Have you tried kneading the clay an extra bit? Sometimes excess lube can cause it to crumble or fall apart.

Really? You had that happen to you? You would figure the more lube, the better. My Clay gets SOAKED in QD solution, after im done I dont even knead it or anything just store back into its Meguiar's plastic clay box. Im using Mother's Showtime as a clay lube. Just depends on the quality of products you are using.

Dilution ratio I use is 2 or 3 oz per gallon. It works just as well as the dedicated Meg's QD IMHO. I use a lot of lube when I clay. I also knead the clay when I am finished, roll it into a ball and coat it liberally with clay lube before storing in the box. I find this keeps the clay in better condition for longer and prevents it from drying out and crumbling.

I've had this happen but usually after using the clay many times and or using Black Fire clay cleaner/extender. Did you mix the onr as recommended for lube? One cap full(1/2 ounce) to 32 ounces. Try rinsing the clay in water and kneading it.

^^^ Could not of said it better myself. This is EXACTLY what I do. Except sometimes im in a rush and forget to spray it with QD before storing in its container.
Still cant see how "excessive" QD solution would cause a clay bar to crumble like Quiksilver stated.

What ever cleaners are used in QDs and ONR could cause it.
