Soft Clay Car Cleaners

This Poly Clay Car Cleaner is Non-Abrasive and Helps Vehicles Gleam

— August 4, 2013 — Autos
Medium Duty Poly Clay doesn’t look like your average car cleaner, but it sure does the trick. The clay bar seems more like something that should be used for making a sculpture, but the clay’s soft texture is exactly what makes it so perfect for buffing the surface of cars. Because it is not abrasive, Ploy Clay is the perfect material to get rid of unwanted markings like sap, grime and bird droppings, as well as other stains that don’t come off with just water.

The fine clay’s composition ensures that vehicles maintain a shiny and new look. It is suitable for use as frequent as you like and can even be used after waxing your vehicle.
Trend Themes
1. Non-abrasive Cleaning Solutions - The demand for cleaning products that are effective but safe for delicate surfaces such as vehicles continues to rise and create opportunities for innovative non-abrasive solutions.
2. Texture-based Cleaning Products - The use of unique textures, such as clay, for cleaning is becoming increasingly popular and presents opportunities for development of similar products for other industries.
3. DIY Auto Detailing - There is a growing trend of car owners taking on DIY auto detailing, creating an opportunity for the production of tools and products catered to these consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - The automotive industry will benefit from the development of non-abrasive cleaning products, such as Poly Clay, that will provide a safe and effective way to maintain the appearance of vehicles.
2. Household Cleaning - Texture-based cleaning products, like clay, can be adapted to the household cleaning industry, providing non-abrasive, eco-friendly and effective options for various surfaces.
3. DIY Consumer Goods - As the trend of DIY auto detailing grows, there is potential in creating tools and products catered to this consumer group, providing a new market within the DIY consumer goods industry.
