    Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar System

    • I detailed my entire car, wash did basically, in a parking lot once and was super impressed with how easy it was and how well that clay remove the water spots and even bugs and such
    • I would rather use a fine clay and perhaps leave slight amounts of residual behind than risk ruining something with a more aggressive clay.
    • The clay is very tacky
    • is that thier clay is way too soft, so the clay actually streaks on the paint!
    • Mother's Gold Clay Bar gently removes the stains without hurting my paint job.
    • Super sticky clay and the spray wax is good for removing water spots on body panels.
    • I used the other fresh clay bar on my black tesla and it scratched my paint.
    • This is definitely "fine" clay- easy to use, easy to kneed, picked up industrial junk out of the paint.
    • Great cheap clay bar, had no issues.
    • There are two (2) 50 gram bars in the package but there is enough clays on each bar that I cut them in halves & used the halves without any problem
    • Clay is soft and makes my truck slick and shiny.
    • The clay is fantastic, but the detailed that is included just sucks
    • Go with a more aggressive clay if you park your car outside often.
    • Clay is more of a fine grade clay not to sticky
    • I was amazed at how much junk the clay took off the vehicle.
    • The application was very easy - just spray the included solution and slide the bar on the paint, knead the clay when it smudges appear.
    • Remember to knead and flip to expose fresh clay so you are not rubbing removed contaminates on the rest of your car!
    • Also, I'm not sure if my car was really clean or not, but the clay didn't pick up much dirt
    • I learned about Gold Clay Bars in a Honda CRV forum, where car enthusiasts shared their favorite products
    • i love the product nice clay
    • I only used less then half of 1 bar, the kits contains 2 good sized clay bars
    • Great clay system for auto detailing.
    • Texture is sticky enough to do its job, but not so sticky the clay is hard to handle
    • The clay works well and there are 2 bars included.
    • You honestly do not need this kit, order some cheap clay and just use water or rub the clay on as your car is covered in soap during washing
    • It works great , the clay bar and works wonders makes your car looks like glass and smooth.
    • The clay was dirty when I finished, so I don't see how only one bar would last for an SUV or van.
    • The clay is great, comes with two bars
    • All you need to know is: keep the clay moist -- apply plenty of lubricant; be careful to inspect for contaminants and fold to produce a "clean" clay pad; dry after each application with microfibre cloth provided
    • I did use a finish wax coat, but it went on so easy due to the smooth clean finish left by the Mothers California Gold Clay Bar System

    • Worked ok, clay could be improved on.
    • I even got this kit on sale for 12.99 at an auto store and still have plenty of spray and a fresh clay bar left
    • It's a great clay bar, but I haven't noticed much of a difference between it and other clay bars (Clay Magic, Griots, Mequiars)
    • So if you have compact sized car, you will have enough clay for about 4 different clay jobs..but that completely depends on how much debris is embedded into the clear coat
    • Best mainstream clay bar on market
    • Best clay kit out there!
    • Great clay bar set for the money

    • Never used the spray before, nor do I see a reason too, but the clay works very well
    •  Mothers California Gold Clay Bar System with Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax and Turtle Wax Ice Speed Compound with the Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax

    • Generally, the first time I clay a car, I expect the clay to get dirty very quickly ... it can be surprising how much material can get trapped in the paint
    • Most importantly, the clay is really good and it does its job well
    • As you go around the car, finding a clean clay surface gets very difficult.
    • ; it was a lot less than the local auto parts store wanted for the same thing, and there's enough clay to do it a few times
    • Definitely throw out the clay if it falls on the ground or you'll end up with scratches
    • the very soft clay also makes it that much more likely to stick in small scratches and seems, it no longer sticks to itself to pull out at that point and you're left with little yellow stripes near trip, paint protector, etc that firmer clay bounces over.
    • The clay left my paint glassy smooth but also left it bare with no protection, so I applied a full coat of Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound to fill in swirls and smooth out the surface even further
    • Very good quality clay.
    • But as I applied the clay to the stains, the heavens broke and angelic voices drowned out the wicked gurgle
    • It's pretty amazing how much crap this clay gets off your car.

    • Great cheap clay bar, had no issues.
    • The clay was a joke.
    • Super sticky clay and the spray wax is good for removing water spots on body panels.
    • If you've never clay barred the finish, get ready to be amazed!
    • You don't need all those expensive clay bars or detail juices
    • I would rather use a fine clay and perhaps leave slight amounts of residual behind than risk ruining something with a more aggressive clay.
    • They send you enough clay for atleast 4-5 applications 3-4 for probbly bigger cars like suvs
    • California Gold Clay Bar Paint Saving System Kit my highest recommendation
    • The clay it self isn't the best i've used but if you NOT a professional detailer I wouldn't buy this as the clay itself isn't the greatest i've used
    • Keep kneading them between uses, and you'll keep finding clean clay
    • Amazing quality clay bar.
    • Clay is not super
    • Kneading is important as you want to work the little pieces of dirt into the clay, and not leave it on the surface of the clay ball where it can scratch the car

    • The clay and the instant detailer combo really works on my car
    • Some videos on uTube say one does not need to wash car, but I recommend to wash it before working it as the clay will pick up excess dirt
    • But if you've never clay barred your vehicle before waxing you'll be amazed at the results.
    • I like meguiars products for certain things but mothers has a better clay package
    • Clay is useful but hate the fact you have to buy the entire package just to get the clay
    • The clay also works great at getting seriously hard to remove dirt off of front bumpers.
    • had you still have a fresh clay to use, I used this on a 2006 Ford F-250 diesel big truck and it was enough with just one

    • The clay was very soft and pliable like you'd think a clay should be
    • Its not supposed to be used on glass but the clay works so well on them, don't use the detailer on it tho
    • The melting keeps you cutting off layers to refresh the clay and getting more life out of each bar since you have no choice
    • I would wet a section, clay it, inspect the bar and then fold it inward to expose fresh clay
    • Awesome clay bar
    • Clay is very hard when I put it in a bag and in warm water still fairly hard and breaks apart as I am rubbing it on the hood.
    • Since the clay is soft, it is constantly changing its shape as you use it, and from time to time, you will need to reshape it.
    • I have been telling every one how great and easy Mothers Clay Bar is.
    • The clay takes a little getting used to and I wasted more by dropping it than it took to complete my Terrain.

    • I used the clay system to remove specs of tree sap from my new car's paint as well as from the windows
