    I`ve used their lesser aggressive version and it works great. As far as your video, I was hoping to see a hands on display with a close up of the potential marring the block created. Just a positive recommendation to catch/capture your audience.

    Thanks for the recommendation! I do strive to make the best video I can.



    I made a couple videos to try doing two things: Show the grabby-ness of the product and show the marring. Both were pretty much impossible to show on my camera unfortunately. It might be one of those you have to be there to see things.

    I`ve had regular clay mar paint too, everyone has a misconception that claying it not abrasive but it is.



    The aggressive bar can and will leave marring on softer paints, just like Clay Magic purple will. The milder bar can on softer paint but nothing that polishing (which is usually the next step) won`t quickly remove. Best advice is to do a test area before doing the whole car.



    The mild one isn`t nearly as grabby but I agree the aggressive one is.

    Here is a video I made with the mild (pink) Opti-Raser. I used ONR v3 at wash dilution (1 oz in 2 gallons of water) as lube. Holding it the way I do greatly reduces the grabby feel. Hope this helps.

    [I`ve had regular clay mar paint too; everyone has a misconception that claying it not abrasive but it is]



    I think this started with the suggestion that "clay pulls contaminants from the paint"; thanks to that exact science - marketing fiction..

    Anything that is abrasive (if you look at talcum powder rubbed on a paint surface under a microscope you’ll see marring) will cause surface scratches
    What gets overlooked too often is that one must be a student before becoming a teacher.

    Agreed. Any time something touches your paint it is potentially abrasive.
