Just recently got into car detailing after buying my new 03 MINI cooper.
After reading autopia for a few months, I decided to get zaino products, and a clay bar, and 3M SMR (stupid dealership).
Picked up mothers clay bar kit, since it got good praise here and was easy to get. I was suprised by the small size of the bar, but its obvious that it will last a long time, so I`m happy, plus the package came with a bottle of detailing spray and a carnuba. My zaino hasn`t come in the mail yet, so I decided to try out the package by itself. I was VERY pleasantly suprised.
The detailing spray is a class above meguiar`s QD. I`ve been wondering why my car looks very dirty after just 2 days, I now know it was the meguiars, as my car stay clean looking a lot longer with mothers detailing spray (and wax combo).
I enjoyed the clay the most on the white parts of my car, as I had a couple of black specs that I couldn`t get out by washing it, and the bar got these right out. On the darker parts of my car, its harder to tell just where the car needs clayed the most, and its hard to tell if the clay is doing anything. But the clay came off the car with some `dirt` in it, so I knew I was doing something for the car.
After having used meguiars regular carnuba, I would now never go back to it in a million years. It turned my trim nasty white and did not look very good or last long at all. This mothers cleaner wax that came with the kit was very kind to the trim and had a VERY nice shine. I was impressed!
I would definitely recommend this kit to anyone.
PS. maybe this should be moved to the review section??
