Claying is in my opinion one of the scariest part of detailing because of the risk of inflicting more scratches. Having a good lubricant and a high quality clay is key. Great video once again my friend!
Yeah man! I find transitioning to new clay often is the most important aspect, which unfortunately is the most expensive part. I was watching a video the other day and heard someone say their clay lasts a year, as a detailer. Very scary haha. Thanks Buddy!
Dont get me wrong I agree 100 on the clay and lube, but honestly, to me atleast, its the most relaxing and satisfying part. Just keep it slick and work that clay always. You're cutting or polishing either way after. Best trick is to loosen the clearcoat crust with a tar/iron remover soak first. Everything will come right out smooth if you keep it lubed. That crisp vibration of the fingers on cleared paint is on my top satish detail fetish 😂 I almost dont even look at the paint when im claybaring it. Its all feel. Nothing like stubborn tar spots that goes loose at the first pass or require a little side clay roll to let go. That confidence to start cutting it builds up and you can feel where the car needs love.
Clay bars are now long gone the clay towels are the way to go and the clay mitts and clay sponge pads, If you drop them wash it out thoroughly and continue ..Clay bars throw it away when you drop them .. yes it is scary
I use this to wipe off the wheels when I’m done with the paint, I have hard water in New Mexico and no matter how clean your weeks are when washing, they have that hard water cloudy look after drying. This does really well for making them clean.
Another great video, I appreciate you sharing this with me! I'm in the process of building my detailing business. I've been exploring cost-saving options, while still being able to use quality products.
I am all about saving money! plus if you are claying you should be polishing after. Yet some may argue that its not slippery enough but even with the more expensive/slippery options you are still likely to leave some micro marring behind hence why you should be polishing after. great video ! do you ever use claying mitts instead of clay they are much easier to clean ?
Just so yall know the product actually recommends only 1 Oz per TWO gallons which equals out to 1/8 of oz per 32oz bottle. So you can literally just put a little bit in the bottle and not even worry about measuring it out. 1/8 of an oz is like a short trickle
Be cheap use window cleaner. I use nanoskin pad and clay bar for small areas by trims ect. You can even use a bit of car shampoo in a sprayer bottle. These two things you have anyways. No need for ONR.
I am using the rinse and wax. I mixed 1:64 and it don’t work well with heavy duty clay bar. 1:32 much more effective. I used 1:20 for detailing - do you think this is a waste?
HellCat Monthly Payement !! lmao~~~~~!!!!!! Dude..0.5 oz to 1 litre !! You just made my Day !!!!!!!!!!!!! Ordering Optimum Asap!! Thanks a Million!! ;-)-
of course IF you use Bilt Hamber clay it is so pure you need no lubricant except water ! they even have their own private clay mines in UK ! it is supelative
Thats crazy! Echo2 is almost 3 times the price of No Rinse in North America. Very weird how that happens country to country. I would definitely be using Echo2 if I were you as well.
You have any thought on the green Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax. I'm not sure the difference between it and the blue Wash and Shine.....people use both for clay lube, washing, and detailer spray.
best ever is to use Bilt Hamber clay fr UK they have their own clay mine ! avail in S , M, H grades it is so pure they say and it is TRUE ! you can use just plain water ! try it let me know what you think ? and update your video w/an addendum ? thx Jack
Soap doesn’t provide the lubrication of Optimum No Rinse(ONR). If you’re going to be polishing after, the marring soap will cause will not be a problem.
Yvan Lacroix interesting! I’ve seen many use car soap and was curious if that was good alternative, guess not as many skip polishing and go straight to applying a wax/sealant
This wash and shine has some sealant in it which makes things shine. I have been using it for claying and it did gray work, but ...... Applying sealant/wax after this ONR wash and shine will make new sealant /wax to fail in a week or so , all cause of this sealant in ONR wash and shine and even pure IPA wipe can not kill sealant from ONR wash and shine. This caused me so much reputation loss :(((((((((
The correct amount of water in your 32oz bottle should be 31.5floz of water and .5floz of water. Otherwise the dilution ration making the bottle 32.5floz. Great stuff though, I use it for many things 👍🏻 @MKDetailed
2 Ounces of wash per 1 gallon of water. Put it in a spray bottle, shake up mixture, spray 2 foot square area and keep surface of car wet at all times when using clay. Saved you 6 minutes of listening to this guy tell you his life.
I have GC clay luber, what would be a good dilution ratio? I used a 24 Oz bottle to clay the hood, fenders and 2 doors on my SUV. Yes I know that’s a lot, first time claying my Tahoe.
ok numbskulls, there are four quarts in a gallon, a quart is 32 oz. no problem you can not measure half an oz with a measuring cup, you will notice he put a full oz in that cup. good grief
I had to laugh hellcat payment 😂. I drive an S6 with RS7 turbos making around 750 hp. I destroy a red eye hellcat or my buddies 1100hp kitty cat 🐱. It gets destroyed like always! Thanks for the tip for clay lubricant
Yeah and plus that I think its important to support our canadian stores. What I believe is Amazon is slowly taking all the market and what do they do then... asking insane prices for unaware people. They have become my last choice when I buy and also a good source of reviews 🤣
what even is clay lubricant is it not just soap lol? like why cant i just use dawn to lube up instead like im going to wax or ceramic coat the car anyway who tf cares if i strip the outside with dawn while claying like theats actually better than just isopropyl alchohol if i dawn with clay then alchohol rub down IM GONA START DOING THAT NOW ACTUALLY DAM IM SMART
@@saygoodbyetoprivacy I don't want to be like anyone, but metric is way easier than Imperial (American) units. You should try it. OH, that's right, you are using it every day when you count your money. Isn't that easier than £s and Shillings?
@@saygoodbyetoprivacy couldn't care less about ignorant people. It is easy, I use it as much as I can. Inches just suck, and feet stink, and yards are dirty.
onr bottle cap is exactly 0.5 oz by the way
its been design that way for easy use one cap in the 32 oz bottle and go to town with it :)
Thank you for the tip.
The meniscus from that Pyrex would not be as ideal as the cap for accurate measurments. 🤓

Thanks…. This is exactly what I needed. FYI. The cap for the No Rinse is 1/2 ounce
Thanks bro... I just knew bottled lube was more about the companies making money out of something cheap that we can make ourselves...cheers!

Always use distilled water. Guarantee no water spots if it drys

Im pretty sure he added a full ounce of the Optimum No Rinse... or it looked that way. But still awesomely helpful video. Thanks!
yea, that sure looked like more than 1/2 oz.
I like the alternative use for ONR. I do not like the noise writing on that board makes.
Des420 haha my apologies, should have put a trigger warning. Have a good week buddy!
Cool video. This is very helpful. That's way better then spending $20 for clay bar kit
Thanks Eric! Yeah I can't believe how expensive something so simple is. This definitely saves a bunch of money if you're claying regularly or not!

Water is a solvent not a lubricant…
@@sardomnumspa IT FUNCTIONS AS A LUBE W/ THIS CLAY WORKS GREAT !
@@jackdale9249 still doesn’t make it a LUBRICANT…
Very good explaination and what a great tip!
Would of helped if you used bottle cap that way we could use x amount of capfuls to use
Shots every time he "Claps" his hands. Good info by the way.
In Poland Ech2o is 4 times cheaper than no rinse, its awesome in many ways, also as an lubricant 1:40.
Thats crazy! Echo2 is almost 3 times the price of No Rinse in North America. Very weird how that happens country to country. I would definitely be using Echo2 if I were you as well.
:D
@Chromatic Auto Detailing but its also more concentrated, (ONR is like water) try maybe really cost less that way :)
These Canucks, they are too clever.😀
You have any thought on the green Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax. I'm not sure the difference between it and the blue Wash and Shine.....people use both for clay lube, washing, and detailer spray.
The green one just has wax in it which really isn't necessary for the claying process

Thoughts of using car soap and water as a clay lube alternative?
Love it! It's a great solution if the vehicle is very lightly contaminated and requires minimal claying. Foam it down again and hit it with the clay!
Soap doesn’t provide the lubrication of Optimum No Rinse(ONR). If you’re going to be polishing after, the marring soap will cause will not be a problem.

can i do this same with Mckees n914 rinseless wash as a lubricant?
I've heard some add a tiny amount of car shampoo to add to the slickness. Any truth to this?
Found it on amazon in 8 oz for 9.95 in prime. They have larger, but using .5 oz....why get larger.
Can you use de ironised water ?
I use distilled water on my windshield wiper reservoir
can we apply this on the windshield?
Absolutely. I always clay glass along with paint.
The cap of ONR bottle is exactly 0.5 oz
Is that same dilution amount sufficient for using it as detail spray?
1:16 ratio for detail spray. So add 1oz to a 16 oz bottle or 2oz to a 32 oz bottle.
The correct amount of water in your 32oz bottle should be 31.5floz of water and .5floz of water. Otherwise the dilution ration making the bottle 32.5floz. Great stuff though, I use it for many things 👍🏻 @MKDetailed
No, if the ratio is 2oz/gal (128oz) then 128/32=4 and 2/4 =1/2 or 0.5oz. Your method is 2oz/126oz and not 128oz
Very nice !
amazing thank you for this
Of course bro! Thank you!
Good info 👍
I have some Rinse Free wash and shine by CG, is that good to use for clay luber?
thumb up and we're watching :)
;D
Thanks guys! Let me know if there is a video on any specific subject you want to see!
I know this video is 4 years old, but isn’t the cap 1/2 an ounce?
Thank u 👍
I see that ONR adds shine to your paint, is it okay to use this as clay lube and then polish and ceramic coat after?
2 Ounces of wash per 1 gallon of water. Put it in a spray bottle, shake up mixture, spray 2 foot square area and keep surface of car wet at all times when using clay.
Saved you 6 minutes of listening to this guy tell you his life.
old or new math...oh you need some lube on that chalk board....note: I use silly putty as a clay bar alternative and bud lite as a lube....
Thanks!!!!
NO Rinse product can you use to clean the interior of the car ?
Yes, its versatile
Carlos Rivera thank you Carlos 👍
Wow 1/2 an oz. for a 32 oz. bottle? That’s awesome! Would it hurt to use a full oz. a bottle? 😂
Haha seriously man! Its not good to overuse it!
Hmmm idk if I should get this blue or the green. 😬
K-Y jelly is where it’s at.
I have GC clay luber, what would be a good dilution ratio? I used a 24 Oz bottle to clay the hood, fenders and 2 doors on my SUV. Yes I know that’s a lot, first time claying my Tahoe.
30ml of Optimum No Rinse to one litre of water for the 95% of countries that don't use Imperial measurements
Yeah im not sure why I did US measurements in this. Im from Canada. I piss ML's
Isn’t it a recommended 6% dilution ratio which would be 60ml in 1 litre, or have I got that wrong ?
Hi, vry good, bisous de france
ok numbskulls, there are four quarts in a gallon, a quart is 32 oz. no problem you can not measure half an oz with a measuring cup, you will notice he put a full oz in that cup. good grief
Measure with calipers, mark with chalk and cut with an axe.

Chase Tiemeyer I was literally about to use one but the chalk board was easier to film. I am so sorry😂😭
I hate the American system of volume just litres, milliliters etc like the rest of the world
Dang just half ounce product for 32oz of water?
All it takes
Next: look for diy no-rinse
Instructions say 1oz optimum to 2 gallons of water, his measurement at the beginning is incorrect.
Your dilution is correct for the normal rinse less wash. It needs to be more concentrated for the clay lubricant
The solution is off. U add 2 oz to a 32 oz bottle. 4 divided by 2 is 2.
@@jortega61924 ?? where did you get this?? If it is 2oz/gal (128oz) 32oz is 1/4 of a gal, so 1/4 of 2oz is 1/2 oz
It's not cheap at all after you consider the process of dillusion, potential mistake resulting in scratches.
As with anything, its still incredibly cheaper
The 32oz bottle is like $27 CAD on Amazon, guess it went up in price.
Edit: please don't write with that pen and board anymore...
Dont buy detail products on amazon. They stole people. Way too expensive. Right now it is 31$ and you can have the same for 21 $ on carzilla ..

you put in 1 oz of optimum no rinse in your 32 oz bottle
he should throw it away and start all over again right ?
It’s just not slippery enough. I use car wash soap in a water bottle
People just don’t know. I use car wash soap or diluted window cleaner.
good tip, but you don't need 6 minutes to show people how to mix 2 ingredients in a spray bottle.
