Do you have to use the lubricant specifically designed for clay bars? I seem to go through a whole bottle on every car. Is there a cheaper option?

Yes there certainly is and I'm glad you asked.

Mix 2 ounces of Meguiar's Gold Class car wash in 22 to 25 ounces of water you're off and running. The ratio isn't all that critical but if you use these approximations you be making clay lube for about $0.25 gallon..:props:

The one that I use is DP No Rinse. Dilution ratio is on the bottle. It's not much so it becomes a good bang for the buck. Plus, you've got a product that can multi-task.

I know where you can get some dehydrated water, it's very portable and doesn't weigh much so it's very easy to carry and I can get it for a good price.

Hmm, never thought of that. GC is my fav regular car wash. How do you compare it to a NR mixed to lube or QD strength.

Hey Craig,

I used Meguiar's Gold Class as an example because of its availability but you can substitute just about any concentrated wash in its place...

I have mixed a No Rinse wash for use as a clay lube and this works quite well also...

ONR is my go-to clay lube.
