## Description

Get a deeper clean and a smoother finish with Brilliant Finish Synthetic Clay. This auto detailing clay works faster than traditional clay for cars, thanks to its advanced clay/polymer matrix with a diamond pattern that lifts stubborn debris with ease. Unlike standard car clay bars that rely on a single leading edge, this innovative design creates multiple contact points, removing surface debris more efficiently. Designed for convenience, this car detailing clay features a comfortable foam grip that reduces hand fatigue and allows for better maneuverability. Plus, it's built to last, prepping up to 24 cars, three times more than traditional clay bars. If dropped, simply rinse it clean and keep going. Brilliant Finish Synthetic Clay can be used as a lubricant before or during car wash, making car care easier, faster, and more effective.

Review: Does exactly what they claim! - Let me first say that I have been auto detailing for 27 years and I have seen products come and go. Some good and some bad. One thing that I always hated was the "claying part" for many reasons. Clay is too hard, clay is too soft out of the package when you get it. Plus, if you drop the clay you are using on the ground, you need to throw it away and get a new bar to use so you dont risk scratching the panel you are working on. You can forget about all those things I just mentioned! Griots listened and solved all those problems. A synthetic piece of clay, that when it becomes dirty from working the panel or you drop it on the ground by accident, you can just rinse it off and go back to your work without any worries about scratching the paint on the panel! Sounds GREAT, but does it truly work? Yes it does! It might be slightly pricey ($20 ish) but it does exactly what Griot's claims! Not only can you just rinse it off if it becomes dirty or falls on the ground, they claim it can do around 20-25 cars. I have used it on 3 full cars so far with excellent results! It is easier to use than regular detailing clay and in my opinion, it works better as it does not take as long to do a full car. I will update this review once I get to do 20-25 cars and see if it follows through with Griot's claims! The only negative one might say is that it is pricier than regular car clay and some people will be turned off due to the price. Do NOT let that part fool you. I dropped the clay on the ground several times while doing some weekend detailing and claying and just washed it off and went back to work! Normally you would have to throw conventional clay in the trash so you dont risk scratching. NOT this clay! It also cuts down on time as it is easier to use and you still get the results you would expect. What a GREAT product. $20ish spent on it and the results are much higher than even I expected. Totally worth the money. Next time you need to clay a car, strongly consider buying this particular product and come back to this review and give me your take on this new type of claying! (In NO way was I given this product for free, I paid the retail price and NO I am not affiliated in any way with Griot's) Griot's can send me a few of these if they want now if they have someone reviewing posts here on desertcart. LOL) My only "wait and see" for this product is if it really does do 20-25 cars. I wont hold my breath on that one though! But back to topic....I would give this 6 stars if I was able to! I literally NEVER write reviews of products I buy on desertcart, whether good or bad the item is. So this synthetic clay by Griot's is truly some "next level" type of claying that is extremely effective.
Review: Great and can’t believe how easy it is to use! - Awesome product! Easily removed thousands of annoying white spray paint specs on both the body and glass that floated over to my M3 from my neighbor’s house being painted. Surface is back to super smooth.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well does this item work compared to a standard clay bar?**
A: It works fairly well. If you’re like me I clay once a year so I never really have a build up. If you only clay once every few year I would use the standard bar.

**Q: Can the clay surface be cleaned after use?**
A: Just use soapy water for the lubricant and the cleaner.

**Q: Can I use this with Mequiars gold car wash with this?**
A: My answer would be yes, using the car wash as a lubricant and not letting anything dry on the car, always keep the car wet and sudsy

**Q: Is this for clay or the cleaning pad? The pictures look like it is for the cleaning pad**
A: It's a cleaning pad with a synthetic clay black pad that is supposed to help attract and trap tiny particles. It's designed to be used after washing your car prior to applying wax or "ceramic" coatings.
