This professional-grade clay bar system removes embedded contaminants that washing alone can’t touch, leaving your surface silky smooth and ready for wax, sealant, or ceramic coating.
Whether you're prepping for a detail or just want your paint to look and feel its best, Paint Puddy gives you that smooth-as-glass finish in minutes.
Why Use a Clay Bar?
Even after washing, your paint can still feel rough. That’s due to bonded contaminants like:

Outstanding!
I used the Paint Buddy Clay Bar Kit on my GMC truck. It was easy to use, and the result was evident. My paint is super smooth now. You could feel the contaminants before . I highly recommend.
United StatesGreat product
I needed to get my Integra type S ready for winter and i decided to give Ethos a shot so I bought this clay and went from there. My car is brand new so it did not have a lot of contamination but a decent amount came of it. These clas does a great job in decontaminating the paint. I liked the job it did.

Product works great best clay I’ve used so far I’m a fan and will continue to order more for my detail shop.
United States United StatesWorks as described. Easy to use
I was actually sent the clay mitt, which I found useful. I am guessing they were low or out of stock on the clay bars at the time. The mitt worked well. Very well. Although, I couldn't really see what was being removed since the primary side for use is black and didn't really reveal what impurities were removed.
