Bilt Hamber - Auto Clay Regular

Auto-Clay is a revolutionary clay made here in the UK. Bilt Hamber Auto-Clay provides a method of removing harmful contamination from vehicle paint finishes, improving its durability and increasing the gloss level of subsequent waxes.

All paint finishes are subject to contamination from a variety of chemical, industrial and environmental pollutions, such as tree sap, bird droppings, salt, acid rain and metal flake particles. Even volcanic ash fallout! These pollutants cannot be removed by washing and polishing, they require a clay bar specifically designed to lift these particles away from the paintwork. If left untreated these contaminants bond with the paintwork and can cause harm as well as being unsightly. In addition, any vehicle being prepared for layers of wax or sealant should be clayed completely prior to wax application. This removes the contaminants and provides a clean, smooth surface for the wax to adhere effectively.

Bilt-Hamber clay bars use ordinary tap water as a lubricating agent, rather than a quick detailer and contains no surfactants, such as powdered detergents or soaps, and is therefore extremely kind to your paintwork.

Our Take

“An honest view from our team, based on real use rather than hype.”

Auto Clay is one of those products that has quietly become a benchmark over the years. It’s simple, effective, and does exactly what a good clay bar should do without adding unnecessary risk or complexity. When we’re decontaminating our own cars, this is often the clay we reach for first.

Technically, it’s a fine-to-medium grade clay designed to remove bonded contamination such as industrial fallout, tar residue, and general surface grime without being overly aggressive. Used with plenty of lubrication, it glides smoothly across the paint and does a very good job of lifting contamination while keeping the risk of marring low — which is exactly what you want for regular maintenance or pre-polish preparation.

One thing we really like is how forgiving it is. It works well with dedicated clay lubes or even a simple shampoo solution, and it stays pliable and easy to manage, even in cooler conditions. That makes it accessible for enthusiasts while still being effective enough for more experienced users.

Considering how much use you get from a single bar, it also represents excellent value. For us, Auto Clay remains a dependable, no-nonsense option for safely restoring smoothness to paintwork before polishing or protection.

Great clay bar from Bilt Hamber and such an amazing price for 200g of quality clay. Lots of other manufacturers charge considerably more for 100g or less of clay. They will not do a better job than this. Only thing to be mindful of with the regular bar, is that it is very firm, so keep a bucket of hot water with you to drop the clay into to keep it maliable

I've used other bars in the past but this is easily the best. Requires only water as a lubricant which is a bonus. Removes contamination with ease and I've never had any major issues with damage to the clear coat. Just make sure plenty of water is used as the bar can leave a drag line of material if under lubricated. Simple enough to remove,just gently re-trace the path and the bar picks up the lost product. Brilliant stuff to use.

Bought to get rid of overspray on the lower areas of the car which it couldn't do (textured metalwork) but seems to work nicely on standard paintwork.
