| Some "Environmental" Flaws Cannot, It Seems, Be Removed by the Bar | 2008-09-25 | 4 / 5 |
| I used these products as directed and I am quite pleased with the results. However, I did encounter one major problem, which I'll get to later.
Let me say, though, that this is a fine kit, and the products are all high quality.
This was my first experience using a clay bar, and I was surprised by the residue it picked up from surfaces I thought were as clean as possible. I have a late 1990s Ford Escort, and this product brought out the shine better than two other products I had used (a) Turtle Wax Liquid Paste Wax and (b) Zymol Cleaner Wax.
That the Meguiar's brought out a better shine than the Zymol was a surprise, especially since I had used the microfiber cloth provided with the Meguiar's kit and not flannel. I'm impressed by the Meguiar's Cleaner Wax, and I'm glad a sample was included in this kit.
I'm disappointed that the bar was not able to do much with the older stains caused by pine tar. Does anyone have suggestions on how to deal with those? I would suppose I'd have to strip off the old wax to get to the pine tar stain layer. Then what?
Also, anyone have luck using the clay bar on "trim" like non-metal bumpers, spoilers, etc.?

| Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit is One Key to a Show Car Finish | 2008-09-15 | 5 / 5 |
| When I first read about claying your vehicles, several years ago, I was a bit skeptical. It seems strange and like a lot of work for you car, but both impressions were incorrect.
After washing your vehicle with a safe wash, Claying your vehicle is the next step and a vital step. Claying removes above surface contaminants on your paint's surface: bits of overspray, tar, etc. and lots of other things you can or more likely can't even see. After washing your car, rub your flat hand across the surface. It won't smooth as glass. Furthermore, listen! You'll hear your hand going back and forth over the surface as it rubs against the contaminants. This is a car that needs to be clayed and just about any car if it has never been clayed needs to be clayed. Even a brand new car on the lot often has contaminants. Furthermore, once clayed, it's usually recommend to do it again every 3 months to a year, depending on the environment your car is in. Honestly, claying your vehicle doesn't take a particularly long amount of time. I'd say it's possible to do it in just under thirty minutes.
The Smooth Surface Clay Kit from the wonderful folks at Meguiar's is the perfect kit to clay your vehicle. Again, after washing your vehicle, spray an area with the Quick Detailer, and then use the clay bar across the surface. You can search Youtube for Meguiar's Clay kit, to see demonstrations from users, but it isn't hard to do. Do a thorough job on your vehicle, and the way your hand then moves across the surface will impress you. I'm amazed every time.
After claying, you have several options. The clay kit includes a sample of cleaner wax, and you can certainly use that. It has some mild cleaners and some protection. However, if you use a cleaner wax, I'd recommend waxing the car more often as it isn't quite as durable as dedicated separate products. Once a month for example with the cleaner wax, would be good. Or, you could use the cleaner wax for its mild below surface cleaning properties followed by a more robust wax product such as Meguiar's Gold Class or NXT 2.0, and then you could potentially be set for a few months.
If you want to do even more after claying, you can use a paint cleaner from Meguiar's for below surface contaminants right after claying, and then optionally a Pure Polish after that. You'd top all that off with a wax such as Meguiar's Gold Class, or Meguiar's NXT 2.0.
Furthermore, pick up more of the Quick Detailer, and you can use it to remove light dust and contaminants to your paint on a regular basis, and you can actually find you won't have to wash your vehicle as often.
Whatever you choose, regular maintenance of your car's finish will keep you smiling for years to come. Meguiar's clay kit is a great way to start because not only does it make your finish smooth as glass, but it allows whatever wax you apply to adhere more evenly and properly to the surface, providing a better shine and longer lasting protection.
A great product. Highly recommended. |
| Works Great! | 2008-08-09 | 5 / 5 |
| The clay kit works great!
For the person that claimed there wasn't enough clay, you can probably clay two cars with the amount provided. You simply have to stretch and fold it over itself until you get a clean clay surface to work with. When you cannot stretch and fold to get a clean area, it's time to discard.
It is certainly NOT hard work. With copious amounts of lubrication from the included spray, the clay bar will slide relatively easily along the surface. It is not only fast but fun also!
Also, claying is mainly for the horizontal surfaces as they tend to collect more contaminants. |
| Amazing product! | 2008-08-06 | 5 / 5 |
| | Upon reading expert advice and customer reviews, I gave the Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit a try. A few how-to sites recommended to use the clay on only sections of the car at a time - i.e. hood after one wash, roof after another - since it is quite intensive work. Once I used the clay on my hood, I was so amazed by it's effectiveness that I had to continue on working on the rest of the car. My car is 10 years old, and the paint was slightly rough to the touch (even with once/twice a month wash & waxing) but is now smooth as glass. It definitely is hard work, but you will be rewarded with an amazingly smooth finish. |
