We Say
When ordinary washing leaves paintwork feeling rough, heavy-grade clay tackles the stubborn bonded contamination that shampoos simply can't shift.
Sometimes even a thorough wash and chemical decontamination aren't enough to leave paintwork properly smooth. Overspray, industrial fallout and other stubborn deposits can remain firmly bonded to the surface. That's where a heavy-grade clay bar comes in. MaxShine's Heavy Grade Detailing Clay is designed for those more demanding jobs, physically lifting contamination that ordinary washing leaves behind.
We'd reserve this grade for heavily contaminated vehicles, particularly when a machine polishing stage is planned afterwards. Coarser clay can leave light marring on softer paint finishes, so plenty of lubrication and a gentle technique are essential. We'd use a dedicated lubricant such as Gyeon Q²M ClayLube, and ideally remove iron contamination first with CARPRO IronX. For lighter contamination or regular maintenance, a milder clay from our detailing clay bar range may be the better option.

Description
MaxShine Detailing Clay Bar (Heavy Grade) is a mechanical decontamination product developed to remove stubborn bonded deposits from automotive exterior surfaces. It is designed to lift contamination including paint overspray, industrial and rail fallout, road tar deposits, tree sap mist and accumulated environmental grime.
The heavy-grade clay provides a more intensive cleaning action than a fine-grade alternative, making it suitable for heavily contaminated vehicles and surface preparation before polishing or applying fresh paint protection. MaxShine identifies compatible paintwork, glass, metal and plastic among its intended applications, although sensitive or unfamiliar finishes should always be tested first.
Supplied as three 50g bars with a total weight of 150g, the clay can be moulded into a flat working surface and used with a suitable clay lubricant. Lubrication is essential to minimise friction and the risk of surface marring. Following treatment, the surface should be inspected and polished if necessary before applying wax, sealant or ceramic protection.

How To Use
-
Wash and prepare
Thoroughly wash and rinse the vehicle to remove loose dirt. Where appropriate, use a suitable iron remover and tar remover before claying. Ensure surfaces are cool and work out of direct sunlight.
-
Prepare the clay and lubricant
Take a small portion of clay and knead it into a flat, manageable patty. Apply a generous amount of compatible clay lubricant to the surface and the clay itself.
-
Gently remove contamination
Glide the clay over a small lubricated section using light pressure and straight-line movements. Continue until resistance reduces and the surface feels smoother. Fold the clay frequently to expose a clean working face, and reapply lubricant as required. Never use clay that has been dropped onto the ground.
-
Clean and inspect
Remove the remaining lubricant and loosened contamination, following the lubricant manufacturer's instructions. Inspect the finish for residual contamination or light marring. Polish where necessary before applying fresh paint protection.
