Wow, that is a great pice. I may have to take a gamble and try it.

Anyone eles going to try?

I've completely lost confidence in EBay. I just don't play anymore. For all I know it's 1/2 lb. of modeling clay in a container.

banana4yah, your pm box is full!

idk, but that same guy has 128oz of Mothers Wheel Mist for $25, not to bad at all. One of my buddies says it's just as good as Eagle One All wheel and tire cleaner, which is my god of wheel cleaners.

I gave it a shot and bought it. I'll let you guys know how it goes when I get it!

What the heck, for $18 including shipping it's worth a shot. We'll see how it looks next week when it shows up.

1/2 pound is 250 grams. So if they are fibbing just a bit it's probably a 200 gram bar. So for $18 it's a good deal, probably not a great deal. Still worth the effort though.

I agree with Gearhead. Ebay used to be a great community. Now I can't belive half the stuff that is listed. For years I bought and sold and got some really great deals. Recently it's just a bunch of low quality misrepresented crap. I wish Ebay could get a handle on the scammers and fibbers.

Well my clay showed today. A little dissapointing I guess. It's purple and it's pretty soft. Weird soft actually. I've had clay from Zaino, Meguires, and Excel, and none of it was this soft.
I suppose I should try it before I get too down on it.

Are you sure this couldn't be the case? I know a guy that tried to use this on a car and he had a mess on his hands.

For sure it's not modeling clay.
I took a swipe at a hood and it seemed to work ok. Easy to mold thats for sure. Didn't leave any residue, that was my concern. Left the area smooth, so I guess it's aok. Just kinda strange feelingin the hand.
It is a big bar though. I get I can cut it into 15 usable chunks easily. Not bad for the $$

I got it last month, have used it on two cars. Worked for me. It is a bit soft, but that just reminds you to keep it lubed. The clay itself will be a subjective thing, so I can't promise if you'll like it or not. But as far as the ebay seller, he was prompt and courteous.
