captain Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've ran out of Meguirs Quick Detail lubricant which comes with their clay bars. What do people use as a cheaper alternative? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Meguiars Last Touch Detailer, as found here. Lasts for aaaaaaaaages. Failing that, if you're desperate any of the detailers that Halfrauds sell will do (I think they do an NXT one as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawbhp Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 water! with a tiny bit of detailer or similar mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 I've ran out of Meguirs Quick Detail lubricant which comes with their clay bars. What do people use as a cheaper alternative? Thanks. Just for clarification, this is to be used as a lubricant for the clay bar, not as a detailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 And that's exactly what both answers have given you That's exactly what I use for lubricant, nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 water in extreme curcumstances, but as said before any kind of detailer will do. does not have to be an expensive make just for lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 Bought. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Meguiars-Last-Tou ... 1c153daf78 Thanks for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I used DJ Red Mist (marketed as a QD) with DJ supernatural clay and it degraded the clay making it all mushy. Since then I've returned to Sonus lube- (which is also a QD) not the cheapest but IMHO the best and excellent for getting the bug stains that even PB Bug Splat leaves behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Bought. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Meguiars-Last-Tou ... 1c153daf78 Thanks for help. TBH you dont really need clay lube. I use DJ born slippy but after that use a stong shampoo and water mixture. Its really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkie34 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Meguiars Last Touch Detailer, as found here. Lasts for aaaaaaaaages. Failing that, if you're desperate any of the detailers that Halfrauds sell will do (I think they do an NXT one as well). +1 on Last Touch Use it diluted for claying and neat as a detailer,2 for the price of 1.

Spot on! Dilute it 5:1 as a clay lube, 2:1 to aid drying and neat as a detailer. Awesome stuff! something no-one should be without! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
