5 out of 5 stars It works very well on all our cars   August 2, 2010
Wilfredo M. Viray (Orange County, CA)
I keep my car in Showroom condition, and this Clay bar is a major reason I can keep it that way.

Pros:
Easy to use
Produces a mirror like finish every time
Necessary before applying a base wax
Kit is inexpensive
Clay bar case
Removes paint over spray

Cons
I wish the clay bar was larger so it was easier to hold.

Summary
Professional detailed mirror finish. A must buy for people that want to keep their car looking it's best.



4 out of 5 stars Works as advertised!   June 19, 2010

I bought this a few weeks ago, for around $16 AT THE WORLDS LARGEST RETAILER (Sorry I'm not plugging them)...and I tried it last night. And all I have to say is it really, really works! I was a little hesitant about whether how well it works, but it thought 'what the hey' tried it and was very impressed! My neighbor even commented on the difference. My car '07 Honda Accord (black), and the shine was impressive. My only gripe is that, from prior review reads, I believe this is a PRE-WAXING detailing product. The product doesn't talk about this as a PRE-WAX detailing system, but....oh well. I'm sure you don't need to wax afterwords, but I'm going to. As of now I will continue to use this product, or maybe try the "ICE" clay product (NON-McGuires) to compare. But, like a lot of the others here have said here, most like it. If you like your car and like to see it shine, Try this, it works! You won't waste your $$$.


3 out of 5 stars Not very good   May 20, 2010

I bought this at a local store. The good thing is it comes with a clay bar case to put the clay bar in. The actual clay bar isn't very good. I used it on my hood and it would not pick everything up. I kept on hearing the scratching noise. I rubbed the same area for 20 minutes. I went to my uncle's house and he had the Mother's clay bar. His clay bar had been used on 3 cars, mine would be the 4th. It took almost everything off. The Mothers clay bar is softer so I think it worked better. My clay bar was never used, but it still didn't pick everything up.

History about my car, it is a 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe. I felt the paint after washing it and it felt like the car had never been clayed. So Mothers worked the best for me. I did clay the rest of the hood with Mothers and it was very smooth. I will need to clay it again to get as much of the dirt build up as I can.

I would recommend the Mothers Clay Bar over this from my personal experience.



3 out of 5 stars overrated   April 22, 2010

If your car's paint is really bad and full of contaminants this may be for you. My car is kept really clean so the clay bar didn't really absorb much although it did turn brown on some parts of the car. The main reason I bought this was to try and remove paint overspray and the nastiness that gets into the paint at the bottom of your vehicle but it really didn't help that much. Guess I'm the exception to the rule but am definitely dissappointed.


5 out of 5 stars Better than expected!   February 27, 2010

I used this on our 2009 Nissan Maxima which I just picked up a few weeks ago. It was the first time claying a car and I couldn't have been more impressed with the results. After claying it, the surface felt as smooth as glass, removing all imperfections that were previously there. You can easily see and feel the product working as the white clay bar turns almost brownish after removing the nasty contaminants that were previously there. Just fold it over and and use a clean spot after moving onto the next area. I then used the provided cleaner wax to clean things up and protect the finish until I apply some better wax next month. The surface as it is now though, is probably the smoothest feeling I've ever felt on ANY car I've owned. Now that the surface has been thoroughly cleaned through this process, I plan on using Meguiars NXT 2.0 Tech wax to keep the finish in stellar condition.
