Sorry the quality of this pic is so poor... I did not have time to go into the photo studio.

As you can see, the top layer is a rubber coating and the rest is simply a block of foam.

that wont cause marring?

You'd think so, but so far it causing less surface scuffing than clay. I'm using a 10x magnifying lamp to look at the surface before and after.

Been searching for this thread...

I picked up one of those "Blocks" from my distributor to test out the other day.. Iposted about it the other day on another forum. Here is what I wrote....

I met up with my distributor earlier this week to pick up some clay, since I was running low. Picked up a block of the fine clay. Not being aggressive enough, I had to meet up with my distributor again to pick up something with a little more bite. He was back in town so I met up with him. He threw me a foam block and said, "use this". I had no idea what it is. A foam block with a thin layer of a rubbery stuff on one side. He said it is a new type of clay and was somewhere between fine and aggressive.
Here is a few pics of what it looks like....









I really had nothing to try this on when I got home. My truck was clayed about a month ago and was slick. I did though, pass it along the paint on the passenger side door to get a feel for it. I could feel it bite. It felt very good going across the paint. It was a very overcast day, and getting ready to rain again. From what I could tell at the time, it did not mar the paint. I need to test it on a dark colored car that NEEDS to be clayed.

I dropped it in the dirt/mud on purpose to see how that would work...lol It washed right of. I inspected the block, and nothing was stuck to it.
I can also see dipping this in your wash bucket, then claying. When it starts to dry up, give it a squeeze to release more soapy water.

It looks promising, and I will be doing another review on it when the rain lets up and we get a decent day.

The foam feels soft like a polishing foam.....

Hmm...that's interesting about the washability...do you think if you had contaminants in the paint that it removed, they would stick in the rubbery stuff until you washed it off, or just be flushed away in the lube?

After reading your post, I went outside to try it on my Wifes car. Never been detailed before.
I tested it out, flipped it over, and looked closely to the backside. It seems to do both.
All I had to do was wipe it clean with my MF.
Wiping this off to get it clean is like kneading clay to get a fresh side.

It pulled up some road tar pretty quickly as well.
