Anyone ever used this stuff?

"Industrial fallout. Oxidation. Paint overspray. Yikes! The fastest way to remove bonded contamination from painted, chrome-plated or fiberglass surfaces is with clay. And now, you can use it in a convenient foam. Just spray and wipe using the specially engineered scrubbing sponge, and watch the kaolin clay foam clean your vehicle`s finish of harmful residues and micro-debris. Enhance your car`s gloss with no additional lubricant required. 18 oz."





Not so sure about a product that requires the use of a "special scrubbing sponge"....

I strayed away due to absense of reports on it. I think they make a glass specific clay as well?

Stay away from this stuff unless you want to scratch the paint surface and have a white residue on all the black trim.

Yikes!



It may double as a good shaving cream.



Autogeek has it on sale plus they have a discount sale going on on top of that.

There are a few companies that have liquid clay products in their range. haven`t tried them yet, one day maybe

You would think that a foam or liquid clay would be too mild to pick up the crud on the paint.



Don`t like the sponge much though

I noticed one funny thing on their web site, navigate around and you will find the testimonials page. There is a before and after shot... funny thing is that the clouds in the reflection around the photographer are in exactly the same places in the before and after shot.

Well, to give them the benefit of the doubt, look carefully through the glass to the other side of the vehicle.



It looks like the first picture was taken near the back of the vehicle and the second picture taken a bit further up towards the front.



So they probably `spot` cleaned a section then took a before and after picture right after one another explaining the clouds being in the same position.



If you look at the position of the telephone pole to the photographer you can tell he has moved slightly as if he were shifting over or rotating slightly to take the second picture.
