Clay lubricant

[ymc226]

Now that I am starting to detail my cars I am accumulating many different products which I would like to keep to an appropriate minimum.

Regarding clay lubricant, can I use a QD such as Duragloss Fast Clean and Shine instead of buying a specialty clay lubricant.

I'm planning on buying 1 or 2 gallons of the DG FC so I can QD my cars after 2-3 days of driving.

I've not used the fast clean and shine but I believe it's more of a true detail spray / maintenance product.

For clay lube, maybe look at ONR - you can dilute 2 oz. / gallon and it does an excellent job - or use 1 oz. gallon as a no rinse wash, and 8 oz. / gallon for quick detailer.

It's good stuff - economical and very versatile.

Look into Ultima Waterless Wash +. It can be used as a waterless wash, QD, clay lubricant, & rinseless wash. If you keep up your car, you realistically will need to clay it once a year, maybe twice. So why have a product sit that will only be used a few times a year at most? Ultima is an amazing QD and overall product.

Meguiar's D114, diluted @ 1:256, is an excellent,
and quite the economical, clay lube...IMO.

Just imagine:
That's 256 gallons (a little over 4.5 X 55gal. drums) of
either a clay-lube, and/or a Rinseless-Wash, for only $32.99!

I use a bucket of car soap and water, works great

Thanks all. I have some ONR that I bought a few years ago but was not crazy about rinseless wash so I'll make some clay lubricant out of the rest.

Since all cars have to be washed pre-detail, save yourself the cash and clay while youre washing. And use your soap and water as lube.
