CARPRO Clay X3 — Detailing Decontamination Clay Bar Set, 3 × 100 g

CARPRO Clay X3: Professional Automotive Clay Bar Decontamination Set

CARPRO Clay X3 is a high-grade synthetic clay bar kit engineered for profound mechanical decontamination of automotive clearcoats, windshield glass, acrylics, and metal trim. Even following intensive chemical decontamination with iron fallout removers and tar solvents, stubborn embedded road contaminants remain firmly fused to the finish. CARPRO Clay X3 safely shears off bonded tree resin, industrial fallout, paint overspray, and rail dust, restoring a glass-smooth surface ready for machine compounding or CQUARTZ ceramic coating.

1. Application Scope & Target Surfaces

• Surfaces: modern clearcoats, single-stage finishes, exterior automotive glass, headlamps, polished chrome, and alloy wheels.
• Removes: paint overspray, brake dust remnants, industrial particulate fallout, bug splatters, sap, and bonded road grime.
• Package contents: 3 individually boxed 100 g clay bars for maximum contamination isolation and extended shelf life.

2. Key Performance Advantages

• Engineered pliability: easily kneaded without cracking or crumbling under normal working temperatures.
• Low marring tendency: when paired with dedicated CARPRO Claylube lubricant, it effortlessly glides across sensitive finishes.
• Triple-bar convenience: 3 separate 100 g bars eliminate the risk of contaminating the entire batch if one bar is dropped.

3. Available Configurations & Grade Selection Guide

• Mild Grade (White / Soft): optimal for routine maintenance, softer Japanese and Asian clearcoats, light contamination, and pre-wax prep.
• Aggressive Grade (Yellow / Hard): designed for heavily weathered vehicles, severe paint overspray removal, hard German clearcoats, and pre-compounding steps.

4. Step-by-Step Application Protocol

1. Surface Preparation: wash vehicle thoroughly with CARPRO Reset shampoo. Perform touchless chemical decon using CARPRO IronX and TarX.
2. Kneading: take one 100 g bar, flatten it into an ergonomic disc fitting your fingers.
3. Lubrication: generously mist CARPRO Claylube over a 40x40 cm test section and onto the clay face. Never use clay without ample lubrication.
4. Motion: glide the clay bar over the panel using light pressure and straight overlapping linear passes until the surface glides completely frictionless.
5. Inspection: check the contact face frequently. Fold contaminated surfaces inward and re-knead to reveal fresh, clean clay.
6. Wipe-down: buff off lubricant residue with a plush CARPRO 2Face microfiber towel.

5. Critical Do's and Don'ts

• Ground contact warning: if dropped on the ground, discard immediately without hesitation. Embedded gravel particles will cause deep paint gouges.
• Lubricant integrity: avoid dish soaps or solvent cleaners as lubricants; they degrade the clay polymers and strip clearcoat protection.
