« This really works »

I've been using this product for years and will state for the record that it really does work. It will not bring back a badly oxidized, neglected paint job. It doesn't work miracles like that, but it really does work if you use on a car that hasn't been allowed to rot or been forgotten. This product works best when used after a thorough wash. Some people use it while washing, but I feel this can have a negative effect as it may help to embed dirt and contaminants instead of allowing the suds to lift and carry them away. Plenty of the included spray detailer must be used or else the clay will stick to the car. I personally don't rub too aggressively, and I don't believe that is necessary. After the clay the residue is wiped away with a microfiber cloth. While you can leave the car as is, it is a really good idea to put on a coat of wax immediately after claying the car. You will be amazed at how smooth and slick the car's paint will be after just claying, and with the wax it'll feel like you greased the surface. The results can be incredible if you are patient and follow the directions. The only thing to remember is that if the clay bar ever falls on the ground it must be thrown away. Trying to use it after that would be akin to taking a sanding block to the car. You can't go wrong with Mother's products.

« Worked Great! »

I purchased this item two months ago to use on my 2002 Tacoma double cab. The directions were straight forward and the process was very simple. It took me about 40 minutes to rub over the entire truck. The clay bar did a superb job removing the "grit" off the paint, leaving a silky smooth finish that was ready for wax.

« Mother's California Gold Clay »

This is one product that in my opinion is well worth the money. I just finished the hood on my car and the result is great. You can feel the grit and grime on the surface and once you apply this product the surface is as smooth a it can be not to mention how shiney it was. I then applied Mother's wax and now have a surfce better looking that the day the vehicle left the dealership.

« Gives my car a showrooms shine »

Just used this product and I love what it did for the finish on my car. It removed the contaminants and brought a clean shine to my car like the day I brought it home. I've used waxes and polishes before but nothing performs as well as this particular clay bar system.
