I went out and got Meguires to start and the clay was not acting right and stuck to the paint leaving marks and not really cleaning the paint too well.

I've always just used wax & cleaner wax on my cars and could feel the paint wasn't smooth.

I used it to try and remove scratches but end up ruining my paint

Mothers clay bar system....cleans the paint and makes it feel like glass !!

Also since you're taking off all the dirt and contaminants that potentially can ruin paint you're saving yourself hundreds or thousands that it would cost for a paint job to keep your car presentable

The paint was smooth and shiny

I never thought the paint could come out as clean and smooth as it did after claying and waxing but result speak for themselves; the finish is glass smooth.

Automotive clay is an unparalleled method of correcting paint contamination

The entire paint was also rough with oxidation

I haven't tried to use the product for detailing, but I imagine it would work well since it was able to remove those stubborn paint scrapes.

I tried this on a 1997 Honda Accord and a 2010 CRV, did excellent job on both, paint looks like new on the 1997 Accord (color :white, location:South Texas)thanks to quality of the paint and this smoothing system

Almost scary the way you can feel the paint go smooth under you hand as you use the clay bar

I put a quick coat of way on afterwards, and the paint looks better than when it was professionally detailed

The clay bar is a must if you have nice paint or want to keep your paint in premium condition.

Used this product on a relatively new car that had rough paint

The contaminants make the paint dull and the paint feel rough or bumpy

Completely cleaned my car paint and gave it the glass like feel.

It's this simple, wash the car, FALLOW the INSTRUCTIONS of THIS KIT and wash the car afterwords AGAIN, to remove the watery grime that USE to make your paint feel rough, and your car or truck will be as smooth as it was from factory

Removes rail dust and other paint debris easily

But the paint was very rough in some areas and even had what looked like some paint overspray on the hatch

and I thought that my paint was ruined

I couldn't believe how much smoother my paint felt and how much dirt was in the clay after I used it.

When I got done, the paint felt extremely smooth and it looked great

Do you need to clean your paint?

In just a few short minutes the clay was able to remove the remnants of some nasty bird droppings that I thought had permanently tarnished my paint

Like the other users wrote, the paint is smoother than a baby's butt after you're done with it.

Although it does make the paint look amazing and feel super smooth, it will not remove tree sap

It did not clean the paint as well as other clays bars I’ve used

And waxing was faster too since the paint was debris-free.

You really don't know how smooth your paint could be until you've used the clay bar on your car.

The kit provides enough production to do one car depending on how contaminated your paint is

Aside from that, the clay bar seems to work well, paint feels amazingly smooth, however next time I'm going to buy the bars by themselves and a larger container of lubricant.

Bought a used 06 Acura TL, after using this clay bar, the paint is like glass, it met and exceeded my expectations

It had looked like someone wetsanded my paint with 4000

This was just enough to smooth out minor imperfections and make the paint feel like new

All cars had glass smooth paint afterwards!

Good product to use on the car to protect paint and give it shine

If you get a small rock or pebble in it and don't realize it then it can destroy your paint

It does make the paint seem smoother to the touch, but I cannot tell the difference between a final normally waxed and polished surface and a clayed waxed and polished surface.

If you think your paint is free of dirt then you will think again after you use Mothers clay bar.

tried it today and the paint on my car feels perfectly smooth!

A very good way to get your paint looking great.

I've used this product before, leaves the paint nice and smooth.

It gave my old paint an amazing shine

I've added a water test for the Accord, the water sticks because the paint itself is a little rough due to the car being almost 20 years old.

I don't expect it to make the paint look any shinier after polishing

I got a bright red Nissan paint job a short time ago from MAACO.

Very easy to use and does an exceptional job cleaning up the paint - the lubricant even smells good!

5-series BMW with decent paint

After application the paint felt like glass - after two years exposure to the hot AZ sun!

After using it, the paint no longer felt gritty but glassy-smooth

As always, wash your car first and don't you ever drop the clay bar or else it will pick up dirt and will scratch your shiny paint

I tried using 409, IPA, Peanut Butter, and a weak paint remover (probably not the best idea in hindsight) to get the spots off my finish and nothing worked

I was really worried about going through the paint, as the aggressive compounding had in a few places (35+ year old paint and not a lot of care = thinning paint, kinda like my hairline).

That's 18-year old paint looking like 7-8 year old paint: quite a noticeable difference

Glad a stumbled across this, it made the paint feel good as new

I was really worried about going through the paint, as the aggressive compounding had in a few places (35+ year old paint and not a lot of care = thinning paint, kinda like my hairline).

When you use this, your paint will be slick as glass

My truck is 2004 and paint is smooth as off show room floor

It will feel like there is a very slight (almost squeeky) vibration in the wax when there is still dirt; it will be glassy smooth when the paint is clean

My car was covered in 200k of road crap, paint overspray, and bugs.

Nonetheless, the paint is nice and smooth and has a great shine

This is a great kit to get someone that has never done it before because it's much harder to mar up the paint

This clay bar kit made my paint so clean and smooth and the shine really pops

Reading the reviews on Amazon (and other websites) for clay bars and their use in cleaning up paint surfaces, I thought I'd try this Mother's kit to revitalize my paint job.

After a coat of wax the paint is silky smooth

It will not bring back a badly oxidized, neglected paint job

It would just soak up every wax i tried on it and leave the paint dull and uninteresting

All did the job fine (though some old Meguiar's clay bar caused some minor scratches in one car's paint)

My wife and daughter both think the paint now looks like when the car was brand new.

Sure enough, my car's paint feels considerably smoother after using the bar than it did having just washed it

My paint immediately cleaned up and took wax correctly

Convinced that the paint was shot and that only a respray would correct the problem, I tried this product as a last-ditch effort, and IT WORKED!

The paint on my car felt like sandpaper after washing it

It's basically a paint cleaner

I really thought my paint was doomed from neglect but as it turns out it was only a bunch of road crud over the past year+ that created a buildup on top of the paint

etcA must for truly clean paint and glass, use this kit to remove bonded debris and dirt embedded in clear coat where washing alone will not remove, follow direction on bottle and you will see the difference after you apply clay bar , how clean and smooth paint will feel, sealants/ wax will adhere better and better shine

This Mothers Clay Bar kit is as advertised, works terrific & effortlessly turns the paint into a smooth as glass platform to polish & wax

Bad mistake you'll know when the clay bar is on smooth paint, dont cheat or kid yourself

And the wax seemed to go on easier since the paint was so smooth as butter.

If it is a used car, although paint is still good, cannot remove stain from it.

This is the best way to clean a vehicles paint of small particles stuck to the paint for a smooth finish.

Just keep it lubricated and apply medium pressure, dont kill your self because it will scuff up your paint if applied to strong

I used the other fresh clay bar on my black tesla and it scratched my paint.

A little bit of hard work rubbing in on and off but really shines up and makes the paint slick and smooth.

The paint was not excessively dirty, so I will be able to reuse that bar again.

The paint will feel like butter and it will shine like it is now in high definition!

Once the process is completed, the paint was silky smooth

immediately creates a smoother paint finish.

Other wise you will not reap the full benefit of claying a car as you are just grinding the paint with microscopic mineral deposits

That probably would not have removed much of the roughness and would damage the paint

Made the black paint look like glass

A waxing IS recomended if you want to protect your paint further

I went out and got Meguires to start and the clay was not acting right and stuck to the paint leaving marks and not really cleaning the paint too well.

It's ok , didn't leave my paint smooth or slick

The paint on my car feels like silk, and with a little wax here and there it also makes future washes a breeze!

I thought the paint was ruined.

This is a nice little kit that includes everything that you need to clean the paint on your car.

I've used them for years and the smooth paint finish afterwards has to be felt to be believed.

My paint is almost completely smooth and is bright white again

The paint on the car was good, just lacked the shine that dirty paint jobs have.

I noticed that after my wax, the paint still felt rough, even thought it was a new car.

After you do it once, you will always feel like using the clay bar before sealing everything when you see how clean your paint will feel/look

It even took off the little streaks left on the hood where the windshield washer fluid stains the paint

off)then I noticed the really clean smooth paint

Using this product i successfully removed about 95% of the colored sap deposits that would not other wise come off my paint, the spots that did not come off were reduced in size and intensity, in addition this product removed an incredible amount of grime (white/grey soap scum like stuff) from the finish leaving the car looking much more reflective and the paint looking brighter

I took extreme precaution with the clay using proper technique and it significantly marred my paint despite adequate lubrication and refolding.

I suggest starting with the hood, roof and trunk because you are less likely to drop the clay on the ground while working on flat surfaces (you must throw it away if you drop it to avoid scratching your paint)

All you gotta do is keep it lubed up and anytype of debris on the clear coat or paint of your car will come off without any damage to clear coat or paint whatsoever

However, applying a good polish achieves the same results on a washed and clean paint surface, in my opinion.

Claying may help with a contaminated paint surface to remove those last little imperfections and revive the paint, but with a clean and regularly-waxed paint surface, claying probably isn't worth the cost nor the effort.

Make sure to only use the clay bar where you have lubricated the vehicle or it can destroy your paint

NO risk of hurting the paint with this product.

It removes oxidation on paint very well.

I have a twelve year old Mitsubishi Gallant - it doesn't have any rust but the paint did not feel smooth anymore and was looking dull

but anyway this thing makes the paint feel like new again

What's more, it definitely hurts your painting, I got several scratches after failing to clean the dirts.

When I used this clay bar as instructed, it picked up all these particles from the car and left my paint nice and smooth

Using the clay on a hot or unlubricated surface will cause it to smear and stick which is very annoying to remove (But don't worry, if this happens it won't harm your paint/clear coat)

Works as it should.

I never thought the paint could come out as clean and smooth as it did after claying and waxing but result speak for themselves; the finish is glass smooth.

It works exactly as it says it works

I applied this product to my 2007 Mazda 3 (phantom blue mica) as well as
