    Clay bar lube

    It finally is warmer here in MN. I want to get my new High Country dialed in. I just put some new 22x10 Fuel wheels and Michelins on it along with a Borla Touring catback setup. Makes the 6.2 sound way better than stock.
    Anyways I've got 8 bottles of this stuff I never use. I won a case of it at a truck show a couple years ago. Can I use it for clay bar lube?
    I plan on claying , alcohol (diluted) wipe down, griots correcting cream with a blue lake country 5.5 pad on my PC 7424xp. Then a layer of griots best of show wax .

    Give most of it away & make some friends
    Then , get yourself a bucket of very soapy water & a large wash mitt, dont WASTE any $$ on any of those "specialty " clay lube products. Its just not necessary.

    I bet she purrs like a lion. Never used that but have only used QD’s as cLay lube. Should be fine but do a test spot. Also you’ll be polishing after so not really gonna be a big deal.

    If you don't go this route, I'd suggest getting some Wolfgang Uber concentrate and mixing it at the QD ratio, and using that. I'd also eliminate a step with the BOSS finishing sealant or a similar AIO.

    My favorite clay lube is ONR in a spray bottle.

    I tried soap water one time and the clay bar turned to mush. That's why I'm sticking with a quick detailer.
