The Mothers California Gold clay system is formulated to lift those embedded particles without scratching, leaving surfaces slick and ready for polish or wax. This kit bundles three 80-gram clay bars, a 16 oz instant-detailer lubricant and a microfiber towel so you can perform a full paint decontamination session at home or before detailing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the kit remove stubborn surface contaminants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clay bars physically pick up bonded debris that washing alone can’t eliminate.
