  • New Farecla G3 Body Prep Clay Mitt review

    Bought this today as knew had some claying to do on a Hyundai i20.


    Opened up and one side (pink) is a MF type of fabric


    With the other side (black) feeling quite rubbery


    Washed car 2BM, then decided to use mitt with a shampoo (G3 Detox), firstly loading up the mitt with the soapy water and applying it with the pink side.


    Another dunk into the water then, flip the mitt over and use rubbery side on the paintwork.


    Initially can hear the mitt rubbing over the dirt and contaminates but after about 20 seconds or so, no more noise indicating that mitt is working.

    Rinse with open ended hose to leave this. (Only left hand side of bonnet done at this stage)


    Onto the base of the passenger front door. Note the stains not shifted from the earlier 2BM.




    After a pass with the mitt and a rinse



    Bootlid before



    Bootlid after



    Base of drivers door now, before



    Base of drivers door, after




    One handed video (sorry) showing ease of use

    Initially was very sceptical about a clay mitt, never be as good as my BH clay but I was wrong and am now a convert. FANBLOODYTASTIC. Did like to in the past look at the clay bar after each panel to see what had been lifted. Just got to get used to not being able to do that now.

    For £12.99, get to Halfords and get one NOW!!!!

    Cheers again Gleemspray for the initial heads up.

        Dont forget peeps, once clayed, you will need to reapply any wax/sealant again.

            Probably 50% quicker to do whole car with this mitt instead of a clay bar. Finish feels like glass with no marring at all.

              how easy is it for tar spots or is it still worth using AS Tardis?

                Just as good for tar spots as a dedicated tar remover. Also ideal for bird etchings, dried on bugs and water marks.

                            I did too last night. To be fair that was a cloth where as this is a mitt and therefore can't be folded.
