Although most of the clay made today comes out of a single factory in Japan, the formulas can be significantly different, including:
*Clay resin density (firmness)
*Abrasive particle size
*Type of abrasive
*Abrasive density (ratio of abrasive to clay)
*Color
Detailing clay formulation determines the optimal function of the clay and its potential to do damage when used improperly. As an example, professional grade clay that’s designed to remove paint overspray is very firm and contains abrasives equivalent to heavy rubbing compound. Used properly it will remove heavy overspray without damaging the paint. Used improperly, it can leave some pretty significant surface marring. That’s why it’s a professional product.
