Cold clay bar

Put it in your pocket to warm it up. Microwaving seems like overkill. It could get molten hot.
 
And if you micro it, DONT put it in your pocket.....

Warm/hot water works too.

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan, to maybe perhaps have a small bucket or pan of warm-hot water, whether indoors or out as needed.

Pop into a zip-lock baggie, place in the water for a couple minutes, take a short break to re-group, maybe have a sip or two of a beverage, etc, and go at it again.

Probably a good idea to spray a bit of clay lube in the baggie first, and the clay a bit, so the clay comes out without needing a putty knife. :-)
 
What I do is if I need to clay in the winter time, I've already done a rinseless wash but I always use hot water for a rinseless wash, it's like a treat for your hands. I just dump the claybar in the clean rinseless wash solution and let it sit for a few minutes so it softens up. The extra lubrication that the clay soaks in is pretty good too. It also works out cause I just use a sponge and squeeze wash solution onto paint as lubrication, or dunk a spray bottle into it. Saves me from having to buy detailing spray or dedicated clay lubricant.
 
Hot water in a little bucket for 3-5 minutes. It will get harder again if used on a cold panel, so you do need to keep reheating occasionally.
 
Sorry to chime in and maybe hi jack the thread. I use nanoskin pad with a DA. It will be around 40s on when I will be working on my car this weekend. Am I ok using the nanoskin pad? If so, any tricks? Sorry to going off track
 
I hope nobody puts it in their pocket bare after reading this thread. Lint city! Lol.

I just read something in another thread about the increased potential for marring when using the synthetic clay products in colder temps.
