PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
After a l vehicle has been washed, some stubborn contaminants remain bonded to the paint surface and attached to the clear coat. This affects the appearance of the surface. The Sonax Clay Disc 150 mm for Machine aids vehicle owners that intend to remove these bonded contaminants during the detailing process. It attaches to a polishing machine and works alongside a lubricant to glide over the paint surface. As the disc moves across the lubricated area, the clay surface lifts embedded particles from the paint. This smoothens the surface and prepares the vehicle for polishing, sealing, or other paint protection treatments.What This Product Does
The Sonax Clay Disc 150 mm is a machine-assisted paint decontamination tool used in professional car detailing. It helps to remove stubborn contaminants that remain on vehicle paint after washing. The clay disc works through controlled mechanical contact by moving across a lubricated surface using a polishing machine. The clay layer grips and pulls out these contaminants from the paint without damaging the finish. This helps restore a smooth surface without removing the paint itself.Benefits vs Features
Benefits
- Removes bonded contaminants: A vehicle’s paint collects different contaminants but the clay disc helps lift and remove bonded particles from the surface when used with a lubricant.
- Restores a smoother paint surface: The clay disc helps return the paint to a smoother condition when contaminants build up on the paint, making the surfaces rough.
- Prepares the vehicle for polishing: The clay disc removes residues to enable polishing compounds and protective products to bond more evenly to the paint.
- Covers large surface areas faster: Because the disc is used alongside a polishing machine that has a wide working surface, it can treat larger sections of the vehicle in less time.
- The Clay Disc be reused: The disc can be rinsed with water to remove the particles and reused in the future.
- Used on painted surfaces and glass: The clay disc can also be used on glass surfaces to remove stubborn contaminants.
Technical Features
- 150 mm clay disc: The disc is designed in 150 mm diameter and works with polishing machines that allows it to cover larger paint surfaces efficiently during the cleaning process.
- Hook-and-loop backing: The back of the disc uses a hook-and-loop attachment system which is compatible with polishing machines. This allows it to connect securely to most standard polishing machine backing plates.
- Polymer clay surface mounted on a foam base: The cleaning layer is made from synthetic polymer clay and is attached to a foam backing.
- Designed for paint decontamination before polishing: The disc is used after washing the vehicle to remove bonded contaminants before polishing.
How to Use
- Wash the vehicle very well to remove loose dirt and dust
- Attach the clay disc to the backing plate of a random orbital polishing machine.
- Apply a lubricant to the paint surface, such as a detailing spray or glass cleaner.
- Before first use, briefly run the disc on a glass surface to activate the clay layer.
- Move the machine slowly across the lubricated paint surface without applying pressure. The surface should remain lubricated during the entire process, to avoid friction.
- Wipe with a clean cloth after finishing a section.
- Rinse the clay disc with water to remove collected contaminants.
