Bilt Hamber Auto Clay Regular

Auto-Balm is a unique product that provides protection and gloss to automotive paintwork, car bodywork, chrome, and metal surfaces.

The result of thousands of hours of development and testing, Auto-Balm is a blend of synthesised, complex corrosion-inhibiting molecules that lock together tightly, enabling them to remain functional in an ultra-thin, high-gloss film. Auto-Balm seals capillary pores in paintwork and provides an anti-corrosion barrier against stone chips and other damage sites on vehicle paintwork.

FEATURES

• Higher protection than any other wax, polish, or sealer.
• Produces an exceptional deep gloss finish.
• Suitable for all automotive paint finishes plus aluminium, alloys, and other metals.
• Fills swirl marks for a crystal clear appearance.
• Produces absolutely no dust or powder on buffing.
• Prevents corrosion spreading from stone-chipped and damaged paint sites.
• Deep gloss protective shine achieved with no chemical build-up whatsoever.
• Auto-Balm 250ml is supplied with one App Pad and one microfibre buffing cloth.
• Auto-Balm 50ml is supplied with one App Pad only.

HOW TO USE

• Auto-Balm should not be used without following these instructions. Thoroughly wash the vehicle with hot soapy water only using salt-free automotive shampoos. Do not use wash and wax products. Dry the vehicle using chamois leather or a synthetic equivalent.
• Auto-Balm is not an abrasive polish. If your paintwork is faded, feels rough, or has not been polished for a long period, it will be necessary to use Cleanser-Polish and/or Auto-Clay before application. Once prepared, regular application of Auto-Balm will maintain a high gloss finish without the need for further use of abrasive polishes.
• Wet the supplied App Pad under running cold water. Wring the pad out so that it retains a damp feel. Touch the surface of the Auto-Balm paste so that a very small amount of the material is transferred to the pad. Apply to the vehicle keeping the pad flat. The dampness retained in the pad will lubricate the surface and allow the small amount of paste to spread a long way. You should not see droplets of water as you apply Auto-Balm; if you do, the pad is too wet.
• Apply sparingly using the applicator pad in circular motion. If the paint is in marginal condition, apply increased amounts of Auto-Balm and increase application pressure using smaller circular motions. This will fill the porous surface and improve gloss. However, if the paint does not respond, use Cleanser-Polish first.
• Work on small areas, ONLY 2 – 3 feet square at a time. Do not work in direct sunlight and apply only to cool panels. Most polishes are laden with abrasive material making them easy to use but wearing on paint films and dusty upon buffing, leaving little or no protective film at all. Remember that unlike other polishes, Auto-Balm is not simply removed when buffed – applying a small amount evenly will enable easy buffing and great results.
• After application of Auto-Balm, wait for a few moments before buffing to a high uniform shine. If the paintwork is in poor condition, the wet-look created by a buffed Auto-Balm film may not be fully uniform. This condition will improve on repeat application as the capillary pores fill with the protective film, re-establishing a smooth surface.
• Ensure that the polish applicator pad remains clean during application. If required, wash it using vehicle shampoo, rinse it thoroughly, and squeeze until damp before continuing. A damp pad is not necessary when applying to metals. The buffing cloth should be turned frequently during use.
• Note: Where preparation of the vehicle to the finest possible degree is desired, the application of Auto-Balm using a light, straight, forward and back technique will eliminate any swirls or microscopic cobweb-like lines. On top panels, use front-to-back hand motions. On side panels, use up-and-down hand motions. This method allows Auto-Balm to fill tiny scratches and improve reflectivity. Heavy rubbing is not necessary. Swirls and cobwebbing caused by abrasive polishes and waxes are particularly noticeable on the sides of clean vehicles in direct sunlight – you will be amazed at the elimination of these imperfections by applying Auto-Balm using this technique.
• Auto-Balm will also protect and provide shine to chrome, aluminium, and alloys. Auto-Balm is not an abrasive polish. If the vehicle’s bodywork is faded or in poor condition, the use of Cleanser-Polish is recommended before application.
