The CarPro PolyShave Disc is a 150mm machine clay pad that replaces traditional clay bar for decontaminating car paintwork. The pad is built to handle up to 30 cars before it needs replacing, making it a cost-effective alternative compared with single-use clay.
Unlike a classic clay bar, the PolyShave Disc retains its shape and function over a long period, while remaining gentle on the paintwork. The disc is fitted to a DA polisher or rotary polisher and used together with a lubricant to lift away contaminants without scratching the clear coat.
For best results, CarPro TarX or TriX is recommended as a lubricant during the process. See CarPro TarX and other lubricants to complement the cleaning routine.
What makes the CarPro PolyShave Disc a strong choice for professional paint decontamination?
The CarPro PolyShave Disc is a strong choice for professional paint decontamination thanks to the combination of high durability and gentle action on the paintwork. The pad is designed to handle several hundred square metres of paint before wearing out, reducing the need to buy new clay bar for every job.
Reconditioning workshops and detailers handling many vehicles per week benefit from a single disc lasting around 30 cars, which lowers the material cost per vehicle compared with traditional clay bars.
How the CarPro PolyShave Disc is used in detailing and reconditioning

- Application together with CarPro TarX or TriX as a lubricant
- Working the paint surface in sections to remove contaminants

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the CarPro PolyShave Disc suitable for paint wrap (vinyl) or only traditional car paint?
The CarPro PolyShave Disc from CarPro CQuartz is developed and tested for traditional car paint. The source material does not state that the disc is intended for paint wrap or vinyl, so caution or an alternative approach is recommended on such surfaces.
Do I need to buy a lubricant separately for the CarPro PolyShave Disc?
Yes, the CarPro PolyShave Disc from CarPro CQuartz requires a lubricant during use, such as CarPro TarX or TriX. The lubricant reduces friction against the paintwork and increases cleaning effectiveness during the process.
What is the difference between the CarPro PolyShave Disc from CarPro CQuartz and a traditional clay bar?
The CarPro PolyShave Disc from CarPro CQuartz differs in that it is fitted to a machine and handles up to 30 cars per pad, while a traditional clay bar is usually worked by hand and wears out considerably faster. This makes the disc more cost-effective at higher vehicle volumes.
