PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
Before polishing, waxing, or applying a coating to a car, it must be fully decontaminated to prevent scratches or rough, unfinished work. The SONAX Clay Ball has been designed to perform this task efficiently while minimising the risk of surface scratches. It is designed as an ergonomic clay applicator with a removable clay Pad that helps capture contaminants while you glide it across the surface of your car’s body. It leaves your car’s surface smooth and properly prepared for coating, polishing, or waxing.What This Product Does
The SONAX Clay Ball is designed to remove contaminants that remain on the surface of your car after washing. All you have to do is glide the clay surface across a lubricated paintwork or glass surface. It is built to capture contaminants without causing damage to your car’s paint. It is not used to wash a car, it is used after washing a car properly so as to remove any form of contaminant that may be embedded in the car’s paint. The removable clay pad can be washed with water after use. This prolongs the life span of the product and saves you a lot in maintaining a clean and shining car paint surface.Features and Benefits
Features
- Reusable Clay Pad: It comes with a removable clay Pad that can be rinsed with water and reused. The water helps to remove all trapped contaminants from the pad and restores it to a new state.
- Spherical Ergonomic Design: It is designed in a ball-shaped way, which improves handling during mechanical decontamination. It also fosters a stable grip and makes it easy to move it across the car’s surface while holding onto it firmly.
- Made of Durable Rubber: It is made of a robust rubber base with a firm structure that supports its build. It can not break easily and tends to last long even when in use frequently.
- Multi-Surface Application: It can be used on car paint, glass, and metal surfaces. This ensures that all exterior contaminants can be removed using just one tool.
