Its rubber-polymer structure shears away embedded particles like road grime, iron deposits and overspray, restoring a smooth finish before polishing or coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this clay pad remove embedded contaminants?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe synthetic clay formulation uses a shear action to pick up and hold bonded particles instead of abrading the paint. When used with a lubricant, the pad glides and traps contaminants in its matrix, leaving the surface clean and smooth.
