200 gram Grey Fine Grade Clay Bar
Also known as body clay, the clay bar is one of the most ingenious products to hit the detailing industry. Clay bars come in two grades, medium and fine. Our stock comes in two colors, purple and gray respectively. They weigh approximately 200 grams each and we also offer the same grades in smaller 180 gram size, but the color for medium is lt. blue and dark blue for fine grade.
The clay bar offers an option to fix common paint problems; saving time, money and possible further damage. For example, in paint over spray removal, one common traditional method was the use of the high-speed buffer and cutting compounds. The downside to this was obvious, especially on newer paint. With some of the older remedies, the detail technician would actually create more damage than what was already there. With the advent of body clay, paint over spray can now be removed quickly and safely. The same with railhead dust contamination. On lighter colored cars, especially white cars, railhead dust would show up as numerous rust spots. They would also leave the painted surface rough to the touch. Railhead dust is basically small heated iron particles throw up by trains, settling on automotive paint during transport. Previously, a solution of acid based chemicals was used to bathe the car and remove what people in the industry called industrial fallout. Needless to say, this procedure had all kinds of negative aspects to it and the clay bar simply helped put an end to the use of acid based cleaners for removing the rust spots. Furthermore, dealers started wrapping the top surfaces of their cars prior to shipment with a plastic material; this assisted greatly in protecting the painted surfaces.
In cases of paint over spray, industrial fallout (railhead dust), brake dust contamination, the method of removal with the clay bar is the same. The technician will knead the clay out to form a flat piece and rub the affected paint area with it. But first, water or better yet a water based lubricant designed to help the clay slide on the paint surface is applied. Usually applied by a bottle with a trigger sprayer, the lubricant is sprayed on followed by the clay. The technician doesnt have to rub hard, the clay works with minimal pressure and once it gets loaded up with contaminants, you simply re-knead it and use it over and over.
Caution should be used not drop the clay on the ground. If this happens, the clay is rendered useless. Secure the clay after use in a clean container. Do not use with soap because soap degrades the clay.
Clay is a remarkable product and it doesnt hurt to give the top surface of every car prior to buffing a quick claying. Doing this removes surface contaminants that actually project off the surface of the paint. Removing these contaminants is like removing grit, this material has the potential to swirl paint and create friction while buffing. This quick surface preparation also makes the surface smooth to the touch and reduces buffer drag. Believe it or not, the buffing process then goes easier because you removed the particles the buffing pad normally conflicts with. Try it.

Read MoreQuick View7.5″ Euro Light Blue Soft Polishing Hex Faced Foam Grip Pad with Center Ring Backing
Finding a simple to use self centering system has been the subject of many ideas and innovations in the reconditioning industry. The results have been scattered, until now. The benefits of finding a solution are clear: instant centering achieves vibration free buffing with less fatigue and a better result.
Our patent pending “Ring Pad” system does all this and more. Along with the centering benefit we have shaped the front of the pad with a hex design and engineered a flexible backing plate that will accept air, rotary and random orbit buffers; the hex face will help dissipate polish or compounds evenly, minimizing grabbing and reducing heat while the backing plate helps reduce pad stiffness. Each of our colored foam buffs has a measured cell structure that provides a different level of cutting or finishing. Used in conjunction with your favorite buffing medium, this is the ultimate buffing solution.

If you like the overall performance and versatility of Buff and Shines Uro-Fiber pads (with the black and white fibers), but you felt like you needed just a bit more fine-finishing capability, then you will appreciate Uro-Fiber Finisher Pads. Buff and Shine listened to the feedback from end-users of Uro-Fiber pads and engineered a new microfiber pad with a standard pile height and shorter profile that provides great finishing results, especially on softer paints.It is still possible to cut and finish with the Uro-Fiber Finisher pads, but most technicians will prefer to have the one-two punch we like to call The Uro-Fiber Twins. Start with the versatility of the Uro-Fiber pads for cutting and polishing, then bring the paint to an amazing finish with the Uro-Fiber Finisher.

5.5" Maroon Polishing Low Pro Foam Grip Pad
Read MoreQuick View5.5″ Maroon Polishing Low Pro Foam Grip Pad
Buff & Shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads will forever change your expectations for how long a foam pad should last. Constructed out of state-of-the-art foam formulations (Buff & Shine’s specialty), Buff & shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads were designed to withstand the massive orbit of large-throw polishers. If you’re sick and tired of going through a set of pads after each detail, Buff & Shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads will save you time and money.
Buff & Shine, an innovator in the car care foam technology industry, pulled out all the stops when developing their new line of Low-Pro Foam Pads. It’s apparent right away that Buff & Shine spent a great amount of time meticulously testing and redesigning each foam pad until it was absolutely perfect. These lightweight, robust foam pads utilize a new foam formulation that promises to outlast and outperform conventional foam pads on a large-throw random orbital polisher.
Benefits of Buff & Shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads:
Made in USA
New foam formulation prevents pad collapsing
Custom foam grades for quick defect removal
High heat resistant rubber interface
Engineered for perfect balance
Buff & shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads have an engineered rubber interface which is flame, fuel and oil resistant. This unique interface is what enables Buff & shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads to withstand the immense amount of heat created by large throw polishers. The interface also provides constant pressure to the surface being polished for consistent results.Buff & shine Low-Pro Large Throw Foam Pads are available in the following configurations for all your buffing and polishing applications.
Green Extreme Cutting
The GREEN foam pad is constructed of a very coarse, dense sharp foam that is able to level severe defects on hard paint systems. Heavy swirl marks, scratches, type 3water spots and other paint imperfections will be effortlessly removed with this pad. Always follow this pad with a less aggressive pad/polish combination to maximize gloss and surface smoothness.
Orange Medium Cut/Polishing
The ORANGE foam pad is constructed out of a dense, sharp foam that is able to level moderate to heavy defects on hard paint systems. Swirls, light scratches, type 2 water spots and other paint imperfections will easily be removed with this pad. This pad is aggressive enough for most applications on factory clear coat systems. Always follow this pad with a less aggressive pad/polish combination to maximize gloss and surface smoothness.
Maroon Polishing
The MAROON foam pad is almost as dense as the orange foam pad, but it’s constructed out of a less aggressive foam that is perfect for refining a soft paint system to an extremely high gloss. The Maroon foam pad removes light swirl marks, holograms, clay-induced marring, and other light paint imperfections. This pad finishes exceptionally well considering the mechanical polishing ability that it provides.
Red Finishing
The RED foam pad is the softest foam pad in the Low-Pro system. It is designed for applying ultra-fine polishes, glazes, waxes and synthetic sealants. The Red foam pad will finish flawlessly on any paint system, creating an exceptionally glossy finish worthy of a show car.
