From the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet, Section 8

TL;DR Community-backed as one of the slickest dedicated clay lubes available, and the panel wipes clean with no residue afterward. The SDS carries a DANGER signal word from serious eye damage chemistry; wear safety goggles every time.
A ready-to-use, single-purpose spray for clay bars, clay blocks, and clay mitts, not a diluted quick detailer or rinseless wash. Enthusiast forums recognize it for superior slickness: the concentrated formula lets the clay move freely with less product than most alternatives, and the panel wipes bone-dry afterward with one microfiber pass. No oily film, no haze. The brand states compatibility with paint, glass, chrome, and plastic; no community damage reports have surfaced, though PPF and vinyl compatibility is a brand claim with no named third-party confirmation.
The right pick for anyone who clays regularly and wants a dedicated spray that eliminates doubt about the clay grabbing. If you already own a rinseless wash, diluting it around 1:16 achieves comparable glide at lower per-session cost without adding another product.
The DANGER signal word is driven by serious eye damage (Cat 1) from the surfactant ingredient at 1-5%, a genuine GHS classification, not boilerplate. Wear safety goggles during every application. The formula is water-based and non-flammable with no inhalation H-codes. The SDS confirms no eco-toxin classification at product level, and the water-dominated formula contributes negligible VOC.
The Safety Data Sheet for Poorboy's World Detailing Clay Lube carries a DANGER signal word, with classified hazards including H318 (causes serious eye damage). See the PPE breakdown above for use-case-specific guidance translated from the SDS hazard codes.
