I find it to be fairly useful. My wife and I usually clay once a year, so I never really have a build-up. I would suggest you use this standard bar if you only clay a few times a year.
The lubricant and the cleaner should be cleaned with soapy water.
Yes, when you wash the car with the car wash, it works as a lubricant, and you don't allow anything to dry on the car, so keep the car wet and sudsy at all times
Regular clay bars were much easier to use and worked better then regular clay bars.
Selected User Reviews For Griot's Garage 10691 Synthetic Clay (Brilliant Finish)
The truth is I was quite skeptical about this product, since I am an avid car guy who has tried a lot of snake oil over the years. decided to try out this new fangled claybar snake oil based on reviews and a look at Griot's website. It's fine if it's not good. I'll return it if it's not for me. As soon as I got behind the wheel I used a good bottle of car wash soap My first step was to wash and lubricate the windows according to the instructions. There was plenty of soapy suds and no pressure applied. In this case, we did not have to apply pressure unlike when we used a sponge. After that, I worked on the hood and the It felt smooth like the bottom of a baby's tummy! Something plastic and chrome is used for the side mirrors. No marks were left behind after they were clayed out. With my chamois, I rinsed everything thoroughly and dried it thoroughly. I ran my hand over the hood with a dry microfiber cloth. The fabric is smooth as silk, no bumps, no bug guts, no snags in the fiber, After finishing with Finish Kare's High Temp paste wax, I applied a coat of Wow! Another wowzer! There is no imperfection. The shine is incredible. Once the sponge is washed, it's ready for you to use. That's all there is to it. You dropped your clay sponge, didn't you? You can use it as needed by rinsing Clay bars are useless after my tripping hands, I don't know how many I have used.
Having never used traditional clay, I cannot compare it to this product, but I found it very easy to use as a novice user. If you use this pad for the first time, rub it on your windows first to wear it in before using it on your paint. I am not sure if this is mentioned in the instructions. After I had just finished painting all of the windows, I was ready to start painting. As soon as I rubbed the pad across my paint, I could feel the paint grittiness. I couldn't believe it when just two passes of the brush were enough to make the paint smooth again. Although I have only used it once, I have no idea how durable it is, but it barely looks used after I used it. In the case that you have never used a clay bar before and feel nervous about marring your paint, simply buy this pad and you will be able to get great results without any problem. Before you paint your windows, make sure to use it on them first.
This is a labor-intensive process, but the end results are In order to wash, clay, and wax my car, I would spend at least 4 hours in the garage. I would only do claying in the spring and fall. In contrast, synthetic clay tends to be much faster and easier to work with. Using this process, there is no separate step after washing, no kneading, no streaking, and there is no residue left behind It is a relief to hear this! As soon as I wash my car, I just run it over the surfaces with soapy water. In addition to cleaning the windshield, this product works great in decontaminating it. Of course, it removes all wax, so you need to wax the vehicle afterwards, but you'd do that Using standard clay will never be an option for me I like this a lot.
A friend of mine pointed it out to me. Previously worked as a detailer but now operate primarily as a weekend warrior and I'm used to the older clay (mothers) method of painting. These appeared in a detailing channel (PanTheOrganizer) and were highly Not a single thing was wrong with what he said. The quality of this product is greater than what you'd find from other brands. I used this and Chem Guys lube when we were preparing to clay our new vehicle, and I was surprised at how easy it was to use compared to typical claying. Claying is what I am used to using with my mother's kit, which has become the older "standard". It is a wise decision to let the clay pad do its work - taking your time. The process was very It is a much easier method than the standard one. As long as this is the method I use, I will keep doing it Clay of traditional methods is a thing of the past. Furthermore, you get far more uses out of this than with those of standard methods. This is a killer product!
A+!.
Some of the more heavy pollutants, such as tree sap, road paint or tar, cannot be removed by this process. The benefit of clay is that it can't remove all of these, but it does do a better job anyway. There's not a lot of grit in this, and unlike clay, you can feel it removing dirt, debris, or contaminants from While washing my car occasionally, I occasionally use this product and it saves me up to 80% of the time/effort when compared to clay. Then I follow up with a sealant or wax so the debris doesn't accumulate. My first use was a few days ago, so I'm not quite sure how long it will last, but so far I enjoy it.
The other day! I'm a vintage 1945 Chevy, and the car is a brand new 2016 It's like having arthritis in your Clay bars have no value to me anymore because I always drop them, making them unusable. While I have tried to use some synthetic clay "mitts," I have found them difficult to handle at times. Also, if I got ahead of myself and did not use enough speed wax, they left black streaks. It is awesome how small this device is Generally, I find it easy to carry, easy to use in creases and corners, and if I drop it, it's easy to clean so I can pick up right where I left off. Getting it clean is simple, and when it's dry, it zips back in the package, ready for storing in the drawer.
I will say one word. I love it! The 2009 Mazda Tribute that my wife drives is equipped with it. The paint on the roof and hood was very rough, and when I used this (along with Girots Speed Shine), it sounded like (The floor had never been waxed before! It was protected with a quick application of wax. Towels made of microfiber are the key! It is time to move on to my beloved 2004 BMW now that it has passed the paint test!.
