Default Meguiars clay kits

bought a clay kit from halfords last weekend and finally got round to using it today. after washing i use a detailing spray and the clay provided, then rinsed it off and dryed with a micro-fibre cloth. i then used the wax also from the kit to finnish. its been drizzling with rain for the past few hours and the car was covered in tiny beads of water, i took it the car for a spin to a friends, and when i got out there was no water on the car, it had completely run off. well impressed with it, recomend it to everyone.

you wont belive the shit it takes off, even the cleanest looking cars. my paint wasnt bad, and the clay went from white, to a lovely shade of nicotine. keep it and give it a go.

Its not an application - infact quite the oppisite...

It REMOVES somthing from your paint readying the surface for the next steps.

I clayed mine before going to a photoshoot. I only had time to use some Megs Clay, clearkote polish and some Poorboys EX-P sealant and the results were (and still are) amazing. Just washing it with clear water (no shampoo or anything) make it come up like a new car even though there's no wax on it:

Can't recommend clay enough. Only needs it once a year or so really though.

Anybody got a decent idea where to get replacement bars from? Or is there a better alternative to Megs. (I dropped one of the bars in the pack after half a car so had to bin it)

your supposed to break off small pieces flat out out into say a small circle couple inch across then rub bodywork with spary applied. basicly only break off what your going to use
