Great detailing product.

This is a great tool to have in your Arsenal of detailing products. The clay bar worked great and was easy to use. The spray lubricant is a must have. It makes clay barring the car very easy. The spray smells great and helps makes the job go by a little easier. I have a new Ford Expedition and did the whole vehicle no problem. I had a lot of debris in paint probably from shipping and sitting on the lot. I used have the lubricant bottle on the expedition so you figure you would get 3 applications on a regular sedan. Just remember the clay removes all the debris in your paint but also all the wax/sealer as well. I did a coat of polish after and followed up with a coat of wax and the car went from feeling like sandpaper to glass.

Chemical Guys Rock!!

This is the answer to great looking paint-go to chemicalguys.com and see their many instructional videos on claying your paint, then follow their VERY helpful flowchart video. You will be impressed for sure. Disclaimer-I am NOT a professional detailer and got professional results with these products-that tells me they know what they are doing at Chemical Guys and better yet, they know how to show you what to do effectively. Make sure you have everything you need BEFORE you start claying your paint. I have less than $150 invested total and have enough product to last months. Great products, great company-and no I don't work for them or had any solicitation to rate their products. Buying a polisher and V line polish kit next. Plenty of info to safely get this done with their website video help.

Great starter kit

Chemical Guys offers a variety of high quality, affordable products. I'm particularly fond of their waxes and microfiber towels. I purchased this kit to get a feel for their clay bars and came away very impressed. The included clay bar is of good size and actually ended up outlasting the lube. It is, as advertised, a light duty clay bar; if your car is heavily contaminated I would suggest moving up to the gray bar. If you are new to clay barring, here are a few quick tips: 1. Wash > Dry > Clay > Wash > Dry > Wax You can of course compound or polish in between the clay and wax, but these are the absolutely necessary steps. 2. Before busting out the clay, put your hand in a brand new Ziploc bag (or whatever brand storage bag you have sitting around) and run it slowly across the surface of your car. This will amplify your sense of touch and give you an idea of where to focus your time. Generally the front of the vehicle has the most contaminants. 3. Spray a chunk of the bar with a little bit of lube to make it more workable and form it into a patty about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. Spray each spot with lube before you clay it and spray again if the clay starts to catch. Reform the patty frequently to avoid scratching your paint with the dirt it has accumulated. 4. If you drop the patty on the ground, throw it away. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Changed the way I clean/detail cars

I grew up washing and waxing cars, which is perfect for an OCD girl. I always tried to scrub off bugs and tar with a cleaner wax and lots and lots of elbow grease and time. It has worked for me. I recently got a white car (in Dec) and this winter has been rough in the Midwest.... so last car wash I noticed rust spots in the paint, in a lot of sporadic places. I freaked out - and wax wasn’t touching them. Then I read up on clay bar, and gave a chemical guys a try. Read that the medium was the way to go, and I DO NOT REGRET IT!!! I clay barred and waxed my whole car (SUV) in 2 hours and took little effort to work out the rust spots. Never in my life have I let paint so smooth before waxing. I am sold on this stuff!!!! Before and after photos of just one area of the rust on my hood.

Better then other clay bars I’ve used in the past 20 years.

As with all the other Chemical guys products, it does what they say it will do. What I can share with this kit specifically is, the clay itself compared to meguires and others I have used in the past, well it simply better due to the stickiness of the product itself. I guess the best way to discribe it would be a mix of clay and bubble gum, making it much more effective and quick to pick up particles and shortening clay time to 1/2 in my case. So would I recommend? YES.

Worked perfectly, quickly.

Ok, so this is my first time claying a car, I drive a black Toyota FJ cruiser. Clay has just never been a part of my car wash routine. I had some stuff on my hood, gritty junk that felt like it was embedded in the paint or had been waxed in or whatever- the hood just no longer felt totally smooth when you ran your hand over it. SO, I watched their little video and with honestly low expectations I bought the medium duty clay kit. Washed the hood, used the clay kit- bam gritty feeling gone. Not in an hour, in like 5 minutes. The hood is smooth as ice and looks literally brand new. I'm almost baffled how perfectly it worked. It's incredibly easy and fast. I don't write many reviews, but I felt like I had to about this product.

Ever Car owner should have this!

So my S550 had what looked and felt like sand partials embedded into the paint on the whole rear end. Almost like it was painted and before it dried it was driven backward through the desert. I was so upset I wanted to return the car or have a new paint job. Car wash after car was and nothing got it clean. So I googled my problem and this product with a video popped up. I watched the whole YouTube video than jumped on Amazon and ordered it. Who would’ve ever thought a ball of clay and some lube would fix it! The butt of my S550 is smooth as a babies butt. Thank God for Chemical Guys

Works well, use half of clay

Product works well. I should say the biggest risk is that you drop the clay into the dirt at which point the directions say throw it away. This is because you may now have sand in the clay that will scratch the car. Next, break the bar in half and just use 1/2 at a time. The clay lube is soapy so slippery and it is very easy to drop the clay bar. So, I would recommend that you form part of the bar into a ring around one of your fingers to hold onto it or make a handle to grip out of it. Or put a drop cloth or cardboard under you as you clean to prevent the clay from hitting the dirt. Chances are about 75% that YOU WILL DROP THE BAR. So, be prepared. Also, if the car is too hot in the sun the bar may melt a bit and stick to the car which will take some rubbing with the bar to get the excess off. You can do it in the sun but you will use about twice the lube. You can probably do a 4 door sedan about 4 times if you are somewhat careful with the lube (which will probably run out before the clay. If you see the clay getting pretty dirty you might cut off the dirty clay and throw it out rather than merge it back into the clay. Overall a great product for a good price. I used it on a brand new Tesla 3 before putting great paint sealer on to protect the paint.

Great quality

Gets the job done, it's difficult to call out any major differences with the Meguiar's clay bar application. However, in a very simplistic comparison: Pros: this clay luber smells good -the Meguiars is almost odorless. Cons: It can stain your clothes and even your hands are left with a light blue tint. Meguiars doesn't do that to your hands. Clay bar itself: Pros: I think this clay is a little more easy to use, it's more sticky and gets the job faster. Cons: clay bar is small. You can get twice with the Meguiars kit -but the Meguiars is not as sticky as this one, so you will need to give it a second pass to get the paint smooth.

Pair this with an Iron removal agent and you got a brand new car again.

I was very skeptical of claying a vehicle after my last time trying to clay my Subaru Legacy with the turtle wax brand as it left marring paint, even AFTER I waxed it. This clay bar kit will change the world! I have a 2013 F150 FX4 that had rail dust ALL over my white exterior paint and was getting sick of seeing it. I used an iron removal system first (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FX479WK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00) to remove the larger particles then followed it up with the Chemical Guys clay bar kit. Man does it make a difference. Finished off the detail by using my Porter Cable Random Orbital Polisher paired with AutoGeek.net pads and truck looks better than when it rolled off the lot 2 years ago. I cannot recommend this product more.
