Heavy concentrated car shampoo is just as good as clay lube.

From what ive hear just car shampoo and water in a spray bottle, its just to keep everything lubricated as the clay bar is doing the actual cleaning

as with the rest, i went to homebase and bought a squirter bottle, some hot water and a drip of concentrate car shampoo.

Doesnt do as well for removing tar as the original clay lube i had, but a cloth with some petrol lifts tar like it was brown sauce.
