Thanks, they're definitely not Advan RGII's or something smoove like that but I like them and it's hard to beat the cost.

Looks great.

Clay bar is a must for where I am. Lots of trees (pollen) and sap.

Clay bar is easy. I have the Mother's kit but there is also one by Meguire's. It is a clay bar and a spray. You spray the surface and rub the clay bar against it. It will feel rather rough and then, baby smooth. It is awesome and cleans your car like never before. Give it a try, it is about $15.00 at any auto parts store!

Mother's Website!

California Gold® Clay Bar System
You’ve heard about clay bars—professional detailers, body men and your car buddies all talk about how they work. Now use the clay bar everybody wants. Created to remove the particulate debris and contaminants that washing and polishing can’t, our exclusive Clay Bar System will remove embedded grains of metal, tree sap, airborne environmental deposits and paint overspray. Better yet, our clay bar isn’t hazardous to your paint—it’s just firm enough to pick up the bad stuff, without being too aggressive. Use Mothers® Clay Bar to get rid of paint fouling grime and pave the way for complete waxing.

#07240 includes 80 gram Clay Bar, 16 oz. Showtime® Instant Detailer, 4 oz. Carnauba Cleaner Wax.

Doing it after summer is a little backward. Doing it after the buildup of winter grime is when you should do it. get the paint clean again and it will look great through the summer with much less effort.

car looks great


I love the way my car feels and looks after a good detail...did mine a couple of weeks ago. It took me about 9 hours to wash, clay bar, polish, seal and wax...all my hand. My arm felt like a wet noodle afterwards
