Cheap Clay Magic?

[fxtrt]

Where is the cheapest place to get the blue clay magic? None of the stores around here (Hawaii) have them.

You got Pakshak in Hawaii Auto Detailing Clay (http://www.pakshak.com/auto-detailing-clay.html)

So $25 is the cheapest?

Also is it possible to burn the paint with wax with a PC? Does it have something to do with if it has cleaners? Does the TW Platinum Series Ultra Gloss Liquid Wax contain cleaners?

From what I have read it shouldn`t burn your paint unless you leave it in the same spot for a while. If you just keep it moving it should be alright.

I found a place for like $20.51 (same price today) a few years back. Ordered with them...all good!

No it`s usually not possible to burn the paint with a PC. It will only happen after you hold the PC in one place for many minutes while at a high opm.



Burning through the paint is caused more by excessive friction and heat, so it doesn`t have too much to do with cleaners.



I believe TWPUG does have some cleaners.



And if you could, I think it would be a better idea to either search for the questions you asked, or separate the questions into separate threads. It makes threads much more organized that way.

i don`t think you could burn paint with the PC unless you are using an aggressive 4" pad (orange or yellow LC)...and then it would take quite a while to burn through. a larger sized pad (6"+) would take hours in one spot to cause damage, i would guess. anyone want to test and see? :)

You can definitely burn paint with a PC in just a minute or two. I`ve seen it happen and I`ve personally done it just to prove a point. On a warm summer SoCal day, all you have to do to burn your vehicles paint (especially on plastic panel coverings) is set the PC to speed 6 with a flat foam cutting pad and hold it on the same point with ~15lbs of pressure for 60 seconds and you`ll see the clearcoat get cloudy and or appear gummed up.

If you have an automagic distributor around you can get it off the truck for just under 20 bucks a bar.



Or you can buy the 6 pack and i think you get 6 for the price of 5. which is like 99.xx. something like that.

arent we lucky....i get them at autozone for 10.99 with a lubricant too.....



i was thinking about buying lots of them and selling them here for 15+shipping...

[Envious Eric]

i think the bar is not the same size hence the price drop....

if you can`t find the clay magic, i was at my local walmart (i`m sure most all have them now) last night and noticed they sell the mothers clay bar (80 gram bar, showtime qd, and a small bottle of cleaner wax) kit for $11.24, iirc. lately, it seems that walmart is stepping up the auto section...

yeah your right..... its one (100 grm) bar.....and the lubricant
