OEM Clay Bar for Wheels
―――
1. Product Concept
This product is a wheel-specific clay bar designed to physically remove stubborn bonded contamination such as brake dust and metal particles that cannot be removed by chemicals alone.
By combining a dedicated clay matrix with fine abrasive components, it effectively restores the wheel surface in a short time, even when contamination has been baked on by heat and friction during driving.

2. Composition & Key Features
・ Type: Specialized clay bar for wheel contamination removal
・ Form: Solid clay bar
・ Recommended Usage: Approx. 200 uses per bar (may vary depending on condition)
・ Applicable Surfaces: Clear-coated and painted aluminum wheels
・ Finish: Smoother wheel surface with bonded contaminants removed
Key Features
・ Physically removes bonded contamination that detergents and solvents cannot dissolve
・ Optimized balance of clay softness and abrasive strength
・ Easy to handle, even for first-time users, with quick, visible results
・ Ideal as a “last resort” when chemical cleaners are no longer effective

3. Performance & Characteristics
During driving, wheels can reach high temperatures, causing brake dust and metal particles to bake onto the surface.
The clay bar adheres to these bonded contaminants, and with the help of fine abrasives, lifts and removes them physically rather than chemically.
By carefully tuning clay softness, cutting power, and abrasive content, the product delivers strong decontamination performance while remaining manageable in real-world use.
When used with sufficient lubrication, it allows efficient removal of bonded deposits while minimizing unnecessary friction.

4. Recommended Application Areas
・ Bonded brake dust on wheel faces
・ Contamination around wheel spokes
・ Stubborn deposits inside the inner barrel
・ Remaining metal particles or bonded grime that chemicals cannot remove

5. Application Method
1. Rinse off dust, sand, and mud from the wheels with strong water pressure.
2. Wash the entire wheel thoroughly using a suitable wheel and tire cleaner, then rinse with water.
3. Knead the clay into a flat shape and gently glide it over the wheel surface to remove bonded contaminants.

6. Precautions During Application
・ Because contamination is removed by physical rubbing, fine scratches may occur.
・ Do not apply excessive pressure; use light strokes and let the clay glide over the surface.
・ For uncoated or special-finish wheels, always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first.
・ Depending on the type and severity of the bonded contamination, complete removal may not always be possible.

8. Remarks
・ If fine scratches become noticeable, follow up with a suitable wheel polish to refine the surface.
・ Multiple applications may be required for contamination that has been neglected over long periods.
・ After use, fold the clay to enclose contamination and expose a clean surface before the next use.
・ Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children.
