It is a preparation step for appropriate surfaces, used with lubrication. It does not repair deep scratches, chips or missing clear coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhich side of the clay sponge touches the paint?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse the black textured cleaning face against the properly lubricated surface. The orange foam side is the hand grip and backing. Work lightly on a small test area first, keeping the pad clean and well lubricated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDo I need clay lubricant, or is water enough?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a clay lubricant compatible with the pad and the vehicle finish. Water alone may not provide enough slip, and not every shampoo is suitable as clay lubricant. Keep the surface wet and slick throughout the pass; stop and add lubricant if the pad drags.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan a clay sponge scratch or mar clear coat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Mechanical decontamination can mar a finish, especially if grit is trapped, lubrication is insufficient or pressure is excessive. Pre-wash, test a small area and use a light touch. Inspect the result before continuing; polishing may be needed afterward on suitable finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I rinse and reuse the pad if I drop it?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eStop and inspect it carefully. Do not resume simply because it has been rinsed. If particles remain embedded, the cleaning layer is damaged or you cannot verify it is clean, replace the pad before touching the vehicle again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes this replace an iron remover or tar remover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo single preparation tool suits every contaminant. A clay sponge works mechanically on the surface; a compatible iron or tar remover uses a different process. Choose the method for the residue and finish, and follow the instructions for the chemicals you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I use a clay sponge on PPF, wraps or matte paint?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the film, wrap or finish manufacturer's guidance first. Mechanical decontamination can change the appearance of delicate finishes or damage coatings. Do not assume a method used on conventional glossy paint is appropriate for every surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhy choose NUVEREN for detailing preparation tools?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eNUVEREN offers one-to-one product support and clear guidance for choosing care tools.
