Yeah, but it's a thick gel with some mildly abrasive grit/"beads" in it. These help clean off stuff like polish residue and dirt and yeah, they break down quickly/easily and I've never found a downside to their presence (won't scratch paint if you get sloppy, etc.). Don't worry about them, I just wanted to mention them so you won't be surprised.

Being thick, it's different from many such products. I find it lasts well through rain and maybe through 2-4 washes (depends on the wash and what material you applied it to). Doesn't run down onto the paint, which is a huge issue for me. Just buff off the excess after it's been on there a little while and you shouldn't have streaking/running issues. This is the *only* such product I use on wiper arms that won't accept my usual LSP-based approach. Gives a light sheen, a little glossier than "matte"...more like "satin" IMO.

Not to take sales away from David, but I'd buy one bottle and see if you like it...it's *that* different. One guy I recommended it to wasn't happy with it; AFAIK he was the exception to the rule, but I don't want you getting stuck with a lot of something you don't like, let alone due to my recommendation. Apply sparingly and one bottle will last a long time, it doesn't take much of this stuff.

Re: Amazing Deals on Closeouts

I just used some AutoGlym Bumper Care in the MPV's wheelwells last night. Worked great on both the plastic/rubber parts and some black painted surfaces that're in pretty crappy condition. I even use the stuff on other metal bits...on surfaces that're compromised but not too awful (cad plating, etc.) it works very well. Sorta like the use of 303 on such surfaces (think engine compartments) only much better IMO.

Bigpoppa3346- Hope you like it; dunno about David, but *I'd* appreciate hearing what you think once you've tried it.

It is "medium" grade, so it will remove pretty heavy contamination. The bar is 4 oz. The yellow poly-clay is no longer available.

Re: Amazing Deals on Closeouts

David, I didn't notice this before, but you have the Sonus Block and the Ultimate (Four Star) clay on "Final Clearance Sale". Does that mean those clays will be supplanted by the Elastrofoam? Or will there be a new Sonus clay?

In general, I am narrowing our product offering to what I will call "Good", "Better" and "Best". That means I'm even cleaning house on my own brands.

In regards to clay, the Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine (green) sells 3-4 times more volume than the Sonus Block. As we purchase this stuff 10,000 bars at a time, it made sense for us to focus on the one single product.

Going forward, it looks like we will be offering:

Ultima Elastrofoam
Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detail Clay
Clay Magic or Meguiar's (no decision yet)
