How to Use The Super Soaper as a Clay Lubricant
The Super Soaper isn’t just a powerful pre-wash — it also doubles as a slick, safe clay lube when properly diluted. Whether you’re using a clay mitt or a traditional clay bar, using the right lubricant is key to preventing scratches and swirl marks.
In this post, we’ll show you how to dilute, apply, and use The Super Soaper for claying your paint like a pro.
Why You Need Clay Lubrication
Clay media grabs onto contaminants and pulls them from your clear coat — but if the surface isn’t properly lubricated, that same grabbing action can cause micro-marring or scratching. Using a dedicated clay lube (or a slick soap like The Super Soaper) ensures safe gliding with zero damage.
How to Dilute The Super Soaper for Claying
You want to strike a balance between slickness and economy. Here’s our go-to dilution:
- Pump Foamer: 2–3 oz of The Super Soaper per 40 oz of water
- Spray Bottle: 1 oz per 16 oz of water
Shake well before each use. This dilution gives you high lubricity without wasting product.
Application Tips
- Work in small sections (2x2 ft)
- Spray lubricant generously on the surface
- Glide the clay mitt or bar in straight lines — no pressure
- Wipe residue with a clean microfiber towel like the Everyday Microfiber Towel
- Rinse and dry after completing all panels
What to Do After Claying
After using The Super Soaper to clay your paint, your surface is now completely clean and bare. That makes it the perfect time to seal your paint with a ceramic spray like Tough As Shell.
