Quick Facts – RUPES Claymitt
- Brand: RUPES

- Type: Double-sided washing and decontamination mitt (Claymitt)
- Side A: Soft synthetic microfibre for washing

RUPES Claymitt combines washing and decontamination in a single mitt, shortening preparation time before polishing or applying a Coating. The double-sided design allows detailers and reconditioning workshops to go from initial cleaning to deep cleaning without changing tools.
The microfibre side handles loose dirt and road film, while the clay side deals with embedded contaminants that remain after a standard wash. The result is paintwork that feels completely smooth before the next step in the process. See more RUPES shampoos for vehicle washing.
What makes RUPES Claymitt a strong choice for paint preparation?
RUPES Claymitt makes paint preparation more efficient by combining two steps in one tool: washing and clay treatment. This reduces the number of products and steps required before polishing or applying a coating.
The dual-function design suits both routine maintenance washing and more thorough decontamination, for example ahead of a Ceramic Coating installation.
Applications for Claymitt
- Removing road grime and road film before polishing
- Decontaminating paintwork with embedded contaminants, tar and industrial fallout

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does RUPES Claymitt work with car shampoos other than RUPES M101 and M707?
Yes, RUPES Claymitt can be used with other quality car care shampoos. However, the manufacturer recommends RUPES M101 or M707 on the microfibre side to give the mitt the right slip, so that dirt and road deposits release without risk of scratching the paintwork.
Do you need extra lubricant to use the clay side of RUPES Claymitt?
Yes, before using the clay side of RUPES Claymitt, the paintwork should have sufficient slip. Use a dedicated clay lube or a mixture of water and shampoo, and move the mitt in straight lines across the surface until it feels completely smooth. See other clay lubricants available.
What sets RUPES Claymitt apart from traditional clay bars for decontamination?
RUPES Claymitt combines washing and decontamination in the same tool thanks to a double-sided design with microfibre on one side and synthetic clay on the other. Traditional clay bars only handle decontamination and require a separate washing step, making RUPES Claymitt a faster option for detailers and reconditioning workshops looking to streamline paint preparation.
