DOT CLAY BAR HARD
Heavy duty solution for severe contamination
The DOT Clay Bar Hard is a heavy-duty clay bar designed for deep paint decontamination on severely contaminated surfaces. Engineered for aggressive cleaning, this high-density clay bar removes the toughest contaminants such as brake dust, tar, road grime, oxidation, industrial fallout and neglected paint contamination, leaving the surface smooth and ready for further detailing.
Its heavy-grade formula penetrates deeply to eliminate stubborn impurities embedded in paint pores, making it ideal for older vehicles or cars exposed to harsh environmental conditions. The clay’s high plasticity ensures easy molding and smooth use without crumbling, while its pleasant apple scent improves the detailing experience during extended work sessions. For routine maintenance or lighter decontamination, many detailers prefer tools like the Work Stuff Clay Mitt, while the DOT Clay Bar Hard is specifically designed for aggressive contamination removal.

How to Use
- Wash and Dry: Thoroughly clean the vehicle before starting the decontamination process to remove loose dirt and reduce the risk of scratching.
- Chemical Decontamination (Recommended):For best results, dissolve ferrous contamination first using Good Stuff Iron Remover, which reacts with embedded iron particles before the mechanical claying stage.
- Prepare the Clay: Mold the clay bar in your hands until it becomes soft and flexible.
- Lubricate the Surface: Always use proper lubrication to minimize friction and prevent marring during the claying process.
- Clay the Surface: Glide the clay bar gently over the paint using straight-line motions with light pressure.
- Final Step: Wipe the surface clean using a microfiber such as the Work Stuff STORM Wash Mitt to safely remove residue and remaining lubrication. For precise cleaning around badges, trims, and tight areas before or after claying, use the Work Stuff DETAILING BRUSH BLACK ULTRA SOFT.
