Clay bar removes bonded surface contaminants — industrial fallout, rail dust, tree sap residue, and embedded brake dust — while the ceramic Speed Shine lubricant leaves a light SiO2 protection layer behind on the paint surface. Universal. Ships fast across Canada and the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClay Decontamination — Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaint washing removes loose surface dirt but does not remove bonded contaminants that embed in and above the clear coat over time — industrial fallout, ferrous rail dust, overspray, and mineral deposits. These contaminants cause the gritty, rough texture you feel when running a clean hand across washed paint, and they accelerate clear coat degradation if left in place. Clay bar decontamination physically shears bonded contaminants from the paint surface, restoring a smooth, clean surface that polishes and seals more effectively. Decontamination is the correct step between washing and polishing or applying a ceramic coating — coating over contaminated paint traps contaminants under the protective layer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCeramic Speed Shine Lubricant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGriot’s Speed Shine is used as the clay lubricant — the spray applied to the paint surface before the clay bar glides across it. The ceramic (SiO2) formula in the Speed Shine leaves a light layer of ceramic protection on the paint surface as it lubricates the clay. This means the decontamination step also deposits a thin SiO2 gloss and protection layer — a meaningful advantage over a basic soap-and-water or standard quick detailer lubricant that leaves nothing behind. The result is a decontaminated and lightly protected paint surface in one step, rather than requiring a separate sealant application for light protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUniversal Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for use on paint, glass, polished metal, and coated or uncoated clear coat surfaces. Safe for use on ceramic-coated vehicles as a maintenance decontamination step — the Speed Shine lubricant is compatible with existing ceramic coatings and will top up rather than strip them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClay on a lubricated surface only — never clay dry paint. Work in a shaded area on cool paint. Fold and re-knead the clay bar regularly to expose a clean surface. If the clay bar is dropped on the ground, discard it — contaminated clay will cause scratches. Follow up with a full polish or coating application for maximum protection after decontamination.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Griot’s Garage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Number: 11288\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit: Ceramic Speed Shine Clay Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Universal — all vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 11.5 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Griots Garage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51325027680423,"sku":"GRG11288","price":44.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/8344\/1063\/files\/36138d2321f223390ab5b7a1c446829d.jpg?v=1789041639","url":"https:\/\/www.straightsiximports.com\/products\/griots-garage-ceramic-speed-shine-clay-kit","provider":"Straight Six Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
