Reveal a smoother surface in minutes.
Fine-grade synthetic clay lifts light bonded contaminants like road film, fallout, fresh water spots, and surface grime while helping preserve gloss and reduce the risk of marring. Worn on your hand over a flexible microfiber backing, it follows the panel and covers ground quickly.
Far more surface per pass than a bar, so a full maintenance decon takes a fraction of the time.
Flexible Backing
Flexes with your hand so the clay stays flat through curves and body lines.
Fine-Grade Clay
Gentler than standard decon clay. Lifts light contamination while preserving gloss.
SUPERIOR SURFACE PREPARATION
Fine-Grade Clay Technology
A finer grade than standard decon clay, tuned for well-maintained vehicles. It removes light bonded contamination while preserving gloss and reducing the risk of marring.
Flexible Microfiber Backing
The backing flexes with your hand so the clay surface stays flat against the panel through curves and body lines, giving you control and consistent contact.
Covers Large Areas Faster
More surface per pass than a bar, so a maintenance decon on a full vehicle takes a fraction of the time.
Reusable Detail After Detail
Rinse it through the job to release what it has collected, and it keeps working. Built for regular maintenance decon rather than one-time use.

Follow the steps to get the best results from your clay mitt
Wash and rinse the vehicle. Always clay a cool, clean, freshly washed surface.

FAQs
Quick answers from the Blackline team.
What does it remove?
Light bonded contamination that washing leaves behind: road film, environmental fallout, fresh water spots, and surface grime.
Clay Mitt or Clay Towel, which do I need?
The mitt is fine-grade, built for maintenance decon on a car you keep clean. Step up to the Clay Towel for heavier buildup, industrial fallout, tar, and overspray on paint that hasn't been decontaminated in a while.
Do I have to use a lubricant?
Yes, always, and heavily. A pH neutral soap or Blackline Clay Glide. Working it dry or under-lubricated is the main cause of marring.
Is it safe on glass too?
Yes. Safe on paint and glass.
Why straight passes instead of circles?
Straight overlapping passes keep your pressure even and make it obvious which areas you've covered. Circles concentrate pressure and are harder to track.
How do I clean and store it?
Rinse frequently during use to release collected contamination. Rinse thoroughly afterward, air dry, and store clean and dry.
FINE-GRADE SYNTHETIC CLAY
THE RIGHT GRADE FOR GOOD PAINT
Decontamination clay comes in grades, and matching the grade to the car is what separates a safe detail from a marred one. Aggressive clay is built to tear heavy contamination off neglected paint, and on a well-maintained finish it does more harm than good. This is fine-grade, made for the car you already look after. It shears off road film, environmental fallout, fresh water spots, and surface grime while leaving the gloss intact. Keep it heavily lubricated, work in straight overlapping passes, and the panel comes up slick with nothing left behind.
I was not sure how this towel would work.
This was much easier than the clay bar I used on my other pick up. Much faster and easier to clean and keep going. Make sure you don’t push too hard or it will make a mess. But lube it up and keep it light. Really did a good job.
This clay towel is amazing, I’m sorry I didn’t buy this before. I used this on my 2014 Camaro, I couldn’t believe how much better the feel, the shine and color after using it. Highly recommend this product. You won’t be disappointed.
after years of using a clay bar, i bought the blackline clay towel hoping it would perform as advertised. It did not disappoint....a great product that is easy to use. Highly recommend
I was a little hesitant to use a clay bar.. My car is over 10 years old with lots of debris in its paint. After using
blackline, not only has the color come back to life but now I can actually see my reflection as clear as a mirror. Thanks looks great.
Used the Black line clay towel and then my wax on my 2024 Ram 2500, after all was done it was extremely slick and the love bugs came off without scrubbing. Very pleased with the clay towel.
I used it on my black mustang and it brought out the paint and decreased previous swirls. I used it on my black VW Golf TDI and need to do more on the hood but the rest came out great!
My favorite PH nutral foam to use silky smooth lifts dirt even as a pre wash but shines as a maintenance & Contact or contactless wash by far no streaking or filming whatsoever
Absolutely love it. Brought it with me today to work to show a few buddy's how bad ass it is!!!! And my drying towel. Honestly cant spread the word fast enough!!
Buy from Ethos! This company is junk and they spam you with marketing messages you never sign-up for. Email CEO Jon McKnight at jon@blacklinecarcare.com to let him know.
This clay towel is great! You can really hear the built up dirt and contaminants being wipes away. Just a bit of pressure and the clay towel does what it's suppose to do!
Used the clay towel on my 2000 Silverado 1500. Paint felt like sandpaper. After a good wash. Using the clay towel removed all contaminants out of the paint after a good polish I brought it back to life!
I am an avid car retailer and own a company with my friend. We do all sorts so car, trucks, and even RV's. The blackline clay towel has made my life so much easier and better when it comes to clay baring a car.
As you can see, they helped with the shine. They helped me wiping it down. They helped me clean the rims, the multipurpose, and they work great. Now all I need is the word blackline printed on them, and they would be super extra special
Nearly 3 year old car, outside 100% of the time, the clay towel pulled all the stubborn residue off in a single pass. Rinse, wash, rinse, clay towel, rinse, dry… done. I used it on my truck roof which has a roof rack making it really hard to clean effectively- two passes with the clay towel and it’s smooooth.
Bought my truck two years ago and never got around to clay bar and coating it. Been seeing the ads online for a while and finally went for the products. Two years of buildup and the clay towel worked better than expected! Used the ceramic spray afterwards, you would never be able to tell it wasn’t a job done by a professional shop!
Not sure why but the towel keep streaking all over my white car. It was really hard to get off. Not happy at all with the towel. I followed all the directions.
Clay towel works great makes the paint on my new Z06 pop before putting a sealant coat on it. The car is super smooth and made the car shine even more! Fast and effective
