Full Description

The Maxshine Microfibre Clay Mitt, Fine Grade is a modern decontamination tool designed to safely remove bonded contaminants from paintwork, glass and exterior surfaces with minimal marring risk. Using advanced polymerised rubber clay technology bonded to a microfibre base, this mitt lifts embedded contamination such as industrial fallout, light tar residue, road film and environmental deposits that washing alone cannot remove.

Unlike traditional clay bars, the fine-grade clay surface is engineered for maintenance decontamination, making it suitable for regular use on well-maintained or coated vehicles. The ergonomic mitt design provides excellent control and surface feedback, allowing faster, more consistent decontamination across large panels while reducing hand fatigue.

The microfibre backing offers added cushioning and lubrication, helping the clay surface glide smoothly over the paint when used with a dedicated clay lubricant or shampoo solution.


Technical Features:

  • Clay Type: Fine-grade polymer clay surface
  • Backing Material: Soft microfibre for added lubrication and comfort
  • Decontamination Level: Light to moderate bonded contamination
  • Design: Ergonomic mitt shape for improved control and coverage
  • Reusability: Rinse-clean and reuse multiple times
  • Surface Compatibility: Clear coats, single-stage paint, glass, headlights and gloss plastics
  • Paint Safety: Low marring risk when used correctly with lubrication


Applications:

  • Removing bonded contamination after washing
  • Maintenance decontamination on coated or waxed vehicles
  • Preparing paintwork for polishing, waxing or ceramic coating
  • Safe decontamination of glass and headlights
  • Suitable for enthusiasts and professional detailers


Benefits:

  • Faster and easier than traditional clay bars
  • Fine-grade surface ideal for regular maintenance use
  • Reduced marring risk compared to aggressive clay
  • Large surface area improves efficiency on big panels
  • Comfortable mitt design reduces hand fatigue
  • Washable and reusable for long-term value


Recommended Use:

  • Use with a dedicated clay lubricant or well-lubricated shampoo solution
  • Work one panel at a time using light pressure only
  • Rinse the mitt frequently to remove lifted contamination
  • If dropped on the ground, rinse thoroughly before reuse


HQ Suggests (Tips & Insights):

  • 💡 Always clay after a thorough wash to prevent dragging loose grit across the paint.
  • 💡 Use straight-line motions rather than circular passes for safer decontamination.
  • 💡 Fine-grade clay mitts are ideal for coated vehicles where aggressive claying is not required.
  • 💡 If the surface feels grabby, increase lubrication immediately.
  • 💡 Follow claying with a quick rinse or panel wipe before applying protection.

Maxshine tools by job

Wash. The Microfibre Wash Pad does the contact wash. The Bucket Buddy is a caddy that hangs on the edge of any bucket, with slots for 14mm and 18mm brush handles and drainage holes in the base; it comes in red, black and clear, so the wheel bucket is easy to tell apart. The Rolling Bucket Dolly moves the bucket, cleaners and brushes round the car on swivel wheels. The Ezy Wheel Hose Rollers sit against the tyres so the hose does not snag on the wheels, the Short Wand pressure washer gun is a compact stubby gun, and the 1.5L Hand Pump Foam Sprayer foams without a pressure washer.

Wheels and tyres. The Microfibre Flat Wheel Brush in large and small has a metal-free build and a replaceable microfibre cover for brake dust between spokes, alongside the angled microfibre and wool wheel brushes, the 3-piece wheel brush kit and the Finger Wheel Wash Mitts. The Ergonomic Tyre Cleaning Brush scrubs sidewalls, and the Hydro-Tech Tyre Gel Applicator puts the dressing on.

Decontamination. The Clay Bar Heavy Grade works by hand, the Microfibre Clay Mitt has a fine-grade rubber clay face on a microfibre base for regular decontamination, and the 5in DA Clay Pad clays by machine on a dual action polisher. Use each with plenty of clay lubricant.

Drying. The Duo Twisted Colourful Towel has twisted loop microfibre on both sides, and the 600GSM Single Twisted Loop Drying Towel has it on one side only, so it stays lighter as it soaks up water and dries itself faster between uses.

Interior. The Interior Scrubbing Sponge and its bristle-sided version work like a brush on plastics and seats, the Carpet Lint and Hair Removal Brush uses electrostatic rubber to lift hair from carpets, and the 2in and 5in drill carpet brushes and Soft Leather & Fabric Drill Brush Set clean by drill. For detail work there are the Horsehair Brush, the boar's hair and mixed bristle stubby brushes, the Ergonomic Interior Detailing Brush and the Detailing Swabs, which leave no residue behind as cotton buds can.

Applying coatings and dressings. The Ceramic Coating Applicators, Suede Coating Cloths and Microfibre Coating Applicator apply coatings evenly, and the UFO applicators, Foam Wax Applicators and Dressing Applicator With Cover handle wax and trim dressing.

Polishing. Maxshine's machines include the M312 dual action polisher, the 5in 1000W rotary polisher and, for small areas, the Mini Cordless Polisher V2 and Mini Polishing System Kit. If one is out of stock, choose Notify Me When Back in Stock on its page.

Organising the job. The HD Chemical Resistant Bottles come in grey, red and yellow so you can colour-code your products, the 1 Litre Measuring Cup is made from chemical-resistant polypropylene for accurate dilutions, and the Detailing Bag, Kneeling Pad and Rolling Creeper keep the kit and you comfortable. The Foam Pad Cleaning Brush cleans polishing pads and lifts them off the backing plate.

Shop Maxshine by type: wheel brushes, detailing brushes, drying towels, clay bars, applicator pads, chemical-resistant bottles and buckets and grit guards.

Clay bar, clay mitt or DA clay pad?

Washing removes loose dirt, but bonded contamination such as overspray, tree sap, road film and industrial fallout stays on the paint and leaves it rough to the touch. Clay lifts it off before you polish, wax or coat. Maxshine makes three ways to do it, and we stock all three.

  • Clay Bar Heavy Grade: the traditional hand method. Knead a piece flat, work it over a well-lubricated panel in straight lines and fold it to a clean face as it picks up dirt. Heavy grade suits a car that has not been clayed for a long time. Throw away a bar that you drop on the ground.
  • Microfibre Clay Mitt (fine grade): a polymerised rubber clay face bonded to a microfibre base. The fine grade is made for maintenance decontamination, so it suits regular use on well-kept or coated cars.
  • DA Clay Pad (5in): fits a dual action polisher to clay large panels quickly by machine. Keep the panel wet with lubricant and use a low speed.

Whichever you choose, follow with a polish if the paint needs correcting, or straight on to wax, sealant or a coating with Maxshine's coating applicators. For lubricant, see our clay lubricants.
