maybe add a little shampoo to the water??

A Comparison

Competing clays require the use of special lubricants. Bilt-Hamber Laboratories auto-clay differs as its formulation enables normal tap water to provide the necessary lubrication. Some clay bars contain surfactants such as powdered detergents or soaps. Long-term use of surfactants can have adverse effects on paint systems - auto-clay contains no surfactants detergents soaps or other soluble materials.

This contamination cannot be removed by washing, waxing and/or polishing. Cutting compounds remove a thin layer of paint but still leave the embedment behind.

xjay1337:
I would always recommend a shampoo and water mix for claying. No need for specific clay lubricant type products.

Chris92:
Sorry for a silly question but can you use any type of clay bar with any clay lube?

Pete-r:
Yes I think so Chris.

The lube is just to keep the clay gliding over the surface so it picks up the impurities but doesn't mar the paint or cause damage.
