Clay Block

Hey guys, i was searching the net for some new products and ran across this...what do you think? If it is legit this would be a great alternative to a mothers or meguiars clay bar...dont know if i would trust that lube stuff but some quick detailing spray would be good as well....gurus please help me thanks!

Here is the link with what they say (Chemical Guys)

I'm curious. Hows does a product that won't remove your wax remove rail dust, water spots, tar, bugs, and paint over spray.

From all of the reviews I have seen on those things, they are like aggressive clay bars. Almost all of the reviews I read on them, they have left a good amount a marring on the paint, that needed to be fixed with M83 and a PC, and a few with a rotary.

I tried one out and didn't really care for it. I would just stick to a conventional claybar.

Dont jump on it-- I have seen it on the net for that price for awhile now...

Also-- dont think that a piece of plastic that is buy one for having forever will do the same as a conventional claybar. It will be more aggressive (as stated), and will eventually load with particualtes. I would get this only if you have some serious oversray problems, or if you are bored and dont mind whipping out some M83 or 2x with #80. Good luck.

Agreed 110%.


I've experimented with another manufacturer's version of this product as a product tester. After I introduced 'several' straight line scratches, I put it back in the box and tossed it in my trash. It's **FAR** too aggressive for the average person to utilize in their driveway -- it's much more suited for a professional auto painter or similar.

Stick with the stand-by on this type of product -- that being Mothers, Meguiar's, Clay Magic or another established clay product.
