Chemical GuysCLAY_BLOCK Clay Block V2 (4.6 in. x 3.5 in. x 1.7 in.), Black

Easy to use and it worked well on a 20-yr old vehicle for a clay bar novice like myself.

I've used a handful of clay bars before---and each time I am amazed by how such a simple procedure improves a wax job. Something about the clay shaves off dirt, imperfections and film so nicely, leaving a vastly smoothed and prepared surface for a finish. If you've ever been disappointed that a freshly waxed car feels a little...gritty?...this is the answer right here.Clay bars are great, but also are a little bit of a hassle...kneading it, keeping from dropping it, monitoring the level of dirt & grit in the clay. Sometimes they get sticky, and I've had one kind of dissolve mid-job.I thought I'd try this because the surface is so nice and flat and it would be easy to handle. The BEST thing about it is that it can be rinsed and wiped clean as often as you'd like, giving you a fresh surface.Aficionados debate whether these devices are as good as real clay. Having used both, I'd say that the Clay Block is easily good enough for the regular Joe trying to get a smooth, glossy finish on the daily driver. I thought it was very easy to use, rinse-able, and it allowed me to get a fantastic finish on a white 2012 Rogue (which was a filthy mess). Two coats of Duragloss and the car looks like new---really. Glassy smooth. I don't think I could have done any better with a regular clay bar.I got a great tip from watching a youtube review on this thing---the guy used a very light touch---didn't bear down at all. Like---three fingers pressure. If you press too hard, the edges will catch the finish and the block will try to pull itself out of your hands. That's the clue that you're pressing too hard. Use lots of lube (quick detailer spray---I used Griots and it was great), use a light touch letting the bar do the work, rinse and wipe it clean with a microfiber towel, and enjoy the magic.

It's a synthetic clay bar so we'll see how long it lasts. I'm ceramic coating my best customers sky blue Beetle from 2008 and plan to test it on that.Best customer is my Mom who is my biggest advocate so she gets free services.

Good for a quick clay in a bind

I own a high end late model corvette, this past week i have a sand paprish film on yhe car, i must have driven somewhere yhat something was in the air...i washed it and after drying it off it was still on the paint. It was almost like someone was spray painting something and my car collected all the overspray.At my wits end i came across this product grom chem guys. Its 10:30 at night and i fecided to go out to the garage and do a test spot. I sprayed on the solution and took the block and started a very loght scrub, i could actually feel the grit and grime disappear and after a light dry the finnish was as smooth as glass!!!! I am a true believer and now a customer for life. I will also tell everyone i know and everyone at the car shows to get this product!!! Just amazing!

First time user. What I noticed, after cleaning, how easily the wax went on. Both the wax applicator and the buffing towel were clean. Didn't realize how much dirt was left on the car after washing. How much of that dirt I was buffing back in the wax. I followed the instructions and did not skimp on the spray. I didn't clean all areas because a 16oz bottle of the lube was not enough for the truck. After waxing all areas, the areas I didn't use the clay, it didn't buff clean. It makes a difference.

Nice kit, sponge easy to hold. But a lot of damn work. I’ve found Turtle Wax cleaning/polishing compound works just about the same, but to me, is easier to use. Used a white towel rag with the Turtle Wax and you could see the crap it was removing.
