When I was first asked to test the new Born Slippy clay lube<\/a> from Dodo Juice<\/a>, I thought for sure that I would find a re-packaged lube that was very similar to many other products out there on the market. As always though, I went into the Born Slippy evaluation with an open mind because you never know when you might learn something new.<\/p>\n

When I conduct most of my product tests, I usually need to work with the product for some time to really get some good experience with it and learn its intricacies before I can write a review.<\/p>\n

Born Slippy is a concentrated solution, and Dodo Juice recommends mixing it with water at a 10:1 ratio. This equates to a total of 2.5 liters (about 85 ounces) of clay lubricant, so it turns out to be very economical indeed. Score one for Born Slippy. I grabbed an empty spray bottle<\/a>, mixed it at the prescribed ratio, and proceeded with my test.<\/p>\n

When I’m using a clay lube, first and foremost I want something that provides plenty of lubrication to allow the clay to gently glide across the surface without marring the finish. Secondly I want a product that doesn’t leave a slick residue where I feel the need to wash the car again afterwards. Finally I want a lube that wipes off easily without a lot of drama.<\/p>\n

How did the Dodo Juice Born Slippy stack up to test? Not only did it pass all of the tests, but it excelled in every aspect. It provided a super slick surface without leaving a “slick residue”, and it wiped off effortlessly without leaving a trace. The surface was left feeling clean and smooth…nothing more, nothing less. And the fact that it is so concentrated that one small bottle makes 85 ounces of solution is a big bonus. I’m always looking to stretch the detailing dollar!<\/p>\n

So I discovered that it is far from being just another clay lube. Some products are great lubricants, but leave behind a residue. Some don’t leave a residue, but they’re not very slick. Some are good, but aren’t cost effective. Born Slippy simply developed a product that meets all the needs where others may fail.<\/p>\n

Remember when I said that I normally need to work with a new product for a while before I could make a proper evaluation? With the Born Slippy I wasn’t halfway through the first car when I stopped what I was doing and sent in a text message to DI saying that I just found my new favorite clay lube! I truly like the product that much.<\/p>\n
