Advanced Synthetic Clay Surface
Engineered to lift bonded contaminants from paint, glass, and metal when used with proper lubrication without the fragility of traditional clay bars.
Rinse, Reuse, Repeat
Unlike disposable clay bars, the synthetic surface can be rinsed clean during use, making it a more efficient, long-term solution for regular decontamination.
Microfiber Backing for Stability
The microfiber backing adds flexibility and grip, helping the towel glide evenly across panels while maintaining consistent contact.
SUPERIOR SURFACE PREPARATION
FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT COVERAGE
The large, 12 inch by 12 inch, clay towel's flexible surface allows you to decontaminate more paint in fewer passes. Compared to traditional clay bars, the towel covers panels quickly and evenly, saving time without sacrificing results.
SAFE, CONTROLLED DECONTAMINATION
When used with proper lubrication, the synthetic clay surface glides smoothly across paint, glass, and metal. The microfiber backing provides stability and control, helping reduce the risk of marring during the decontamination process.
CONSISTENT RESULTS ACROSS EVERY PANEL
The towel’s flat, uniform surface helps maintain even pressure and coverage, making it easier to fully decontaminate each panel without missed spots or uneven results.

FAQs
Quick answers from the Blackline team.
A clay towel removes bonded surface contamination that regular washing can’t, such as road film, industrial fallout, light tar, overspray, and embedded grime. These contaminants cause paint to feel rough even when it looks clean.
The clay towel should always be used on a clean, wet surface with proper lubrication. Using it dry or without sufficient lubrication can increase friction and may lead to surface marring.
Rinse the towel frequently during use to release collected contamination. After use, rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry. Store it clean and dry between uses.
Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
A clay towel offers several advantages over traditional clay bars, including faster coverage, easier handling, and reusability. Unlike clay bars, it can be rinsed clean during use and won’t need to be discarded if dropped.
Yes, when used properly with adequate lubrication and light pressure, the clay towel is safe for clear coat finishes. As with any decontamination process, proper technique is essential for best results.
Black marks typically indicate the towel is picking up heavy contamination or is being used with insufficient lubrication. Rinse the towel thoroughly, reapply lubricant, and continue using light pressure.
These marks are residue, not damage, and will wipe away easily when proper lubrication is used.
BLACKLINE SYNTHETIC CLAY TOWEL
The Blackline® Synthetic Clay Towel is designed to remove bonded surface contamination that washing alone can’t. Used with proper lubrication, the synthetic clay surface safely lifts embedded debris from paint, glass, and metal, leaving the surface noticeably smoother and more uniform.
Its flat, flexible design provides consistent contact across each panel, allowing you to work efficiently without the fragility or waste of traditional clay bars. The result is a clean, decontaminated surface that’s properly prepared for polishing, waxing, or coating.
Decontamination is the foundation of proper surface preparation.

The clay towel worked so well! My paint is nice and smooth and shinning like new!
So much easier than using the old bars. Had my car done in over half the time it would’ve
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.
Clay rag outperformed my expectations! Made the job quick and easy!
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.
Towel worked amazing no spots no streaks
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!
2016 Chevrolet camaro RS Hot Wheels addition.
Could feel the towel removing contaminants from the paint! Car looked great before a two step cut and polished! Thank you!
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!!
Used it on the hood so far and waxed after. Love the end results.
The fastest and easiest way to clay! I would highly recommend this to everyone.
Product worked excellent, i couldn’t be happier!
Great product
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!
Clean smells great!
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
Thing looks like a mirror
Works great
Great product. Super easy to use and does a awesome job.
Easy to use. Worked great! Removed the winter grime.
Product works great.
Works very well gets off all the extra dirt.
I was skeptical at first, but after reading some reviews and looking at submitted pic’s I ordered one to see for myself. I will say that I am beyond impressed!!! I’ve kept my vehicles clean and detailed for the majority of my life thanks to the attention to detail of being a firefighter. This product not only blew away the use of the old clay bar’s… but did it in an 1/8th of the time. Which gave me more time with my kids and other activities while allowing me to keep my ride’s clean. Thanks for an amazing product!!!
Loved the packaging! Came Stickers, an Extra keychain and also coupons! Gotta love that! Got my boy to order up too! I might be a forever black liner now ! Not to mention the clay towel works wonders! Day & night difference from other brands! A++
one of the best car care products i have ever bought
Absolutely love this product, especially the clay bar rag. Used it while washing the car using the foam cannon and the clay bar rag and this car is silky smooth thank you for an amazing product because I absolutely hate using clay bars.
I never received my order!!! maybe instead of just creating a label and not shipping my order ship my order and I will give it an honest review
I've never used a clay bar system before, but my husband has so I let him use the clay bar cloth on my bronco. It took around 30-35 minutes for him to do the entire bronco! He was amazed how well it worked! The paint feels so smooth and looks amazing!!! It's a cloudy day today so the picture doesn't do justice. Will be buying one for his truck for his upcoming birthday! Thank you for making such a fantastic product! ❤️❤️❤️
Works great, fast and easy!
Clay towel made the gelcoat smooth
Paint looks brand new again on my 2013 Ram 2500!
I love how simple it was use he’s a photo of my 1968 442
First time using this and I was pretty disappointed. It tore after the very first use, which I definitely wasn’t expecting. I didn’t use it excessively or do anything out of the ordinary, so the durability is a big concern. For something that should be reusable, it shouldn’t be falling apart after one use. Hopefully I just received a defective one, but based on my experience, I can’t recommend it.
Bought to try out on my black bronco. It works great, is easy to use and makes quick work of paint defects. Very please. Thank you for a quality product.
I was a bit skeptical, but made the leap. wow, my 2021 GMC Sierra had see better days....scratches, dings, etc... I washed it, clay toweled it, and then polished it. looks brand new! I was amazed at how quckly the clay towel removed unwanted trash from the surface. just recommended it to a buddy with a black BMW...he's about to make a purchace. love this towel!!
