Clay bar kits?

Has anyone used this kit? If you have, I’d like to hear your thoughts, experience with it?

 

Thinking about trying a clay bar myself.

And, bump.

 

Haven't used that exact one, but it has all you need in that kit. I've used other Chemical Guys products, they're great.

I've used several brands of clay bar and this cheap Amazon one is my favorite. I also use Optimum no rinse wash as clay lube.

I do it twice a year before wax on all my vehicles

That being said, chemical guys make good stuff

 

I haven't used that exact one but I've clayed my cars before and it's amazing how much crap it removes from the surface.

 

I really want to give this a try myself

 

I ordered the kit, I will report back in a week or so..

 

I just use the cheap McGuires kit from pretty much any store that sells auto cleaning products. Only issue I’ve had is running out of the spray, lol. I just buy an extra one now. You will LOVE how the vehicle feels after. I do it once a year around the anniversary day of buying the truck

 

Keep the surface wet and dont use the clay if you drop it on the ground.

 

One of my boys worked as a detailer at a dealership and he swears by chemical guys stuff. My Tacoma gets a clay bar treatment twice a year and then a high quality wax. My Taco is a 2015 and still looks beautiful when it is clean. Plus the clay bar gives a soft, baby smooth feel like when the truck was brand new. My 4Runner currently has a Ceramic coating, and still feels very smooth, and water beads up and rolls off.

I know I’m a bit tardy on the reply of using the kit..The soap truly removes all of the previous wax and crud on the surface. I follow up with this is the first time I’ve ever used a clay bar on anything, I thought it was very easy to use, the spray “lube” is imperative. The butter wax was easy to apply and just as easy to remove.
Now given, the vehicle is a year and a half old and living in Florida we don’t deal with as many extreme conditions as other parts of the country. So the paint surface was not in horrible shape, but I could definitely tell a difference when I got done..

 

meh the CG guys stuff is a bit overpriced. Any cheap clay bar from Amazon will do just fine

 

I used to use Adam's polishes. No complaints about the product.

But I stopped because they want to charge me insane shipping prices. Last time I looked they were going to try and charge me $20 shipping for a small bottle. I know I live in Hawaii but rip me off in shipping and I'll go elsewhere.

 

Here's a dumb question: Would you use this stuff on areas covered with paint protection film?

 

I usually dont.

And watch out for using the clay on the edges of the film. Gets stuck on it sometimes.
