Being a sceptical and tight fisted yorkshireman, I can't help feeling that a clay bar isn't just a bar of normal hand soap in disguise.

Has anyone on here used clay and could categorically state that it's totally different to a normal bar of soap.

£10.00 for what could potentially be a bar of Dove without the smell is a bit steep, and i'm not sure i could put may faith in the £2.00 bars coming out of Hong Kong.
 
Might have to trust your better judgement then and buy a blob.
 
why would the time of year make a difference ?

As Jon above says the time of year plays a factor in the pliability of clay

I used their medium clay yesterday and had to warm it up every section in a bucket of hot water to make it usable (i had no soft left)


One thing i will stress that to minimise any risk of paint work damage that a thorough decontamination of the car should be carried out first

yesterday i washed the car well using a strong car wash shampoo

then quickly dried the car to get most of the water off....

then used a fall out remover (this time i used Bilt Hamber Korrosol)

pressure washer rinsed then dab dry again

treated the lower sections with Tar remover to remove tar splats

then washed again using car shampoo

only then did i get the clay out....





then polished / paint cleanser

then a sealent / wax

so yesterday i used
car shampoo
BH Korrosol http://www.bilthamber.com/cleaning-and-degreasing/korrosol


Autosmart tardis (this only comes in large trade tins) although some ebay people are decanting it into smaller bottles

@ Ryaaan - Hi mate, I can confirm that all of the g3 products aer very good I have used them all mate and they are priced very reasonable and do exactly what they are supposed to. I would say ifthe g3 clay bar is just as good if not better than the Bilt-Hamber one but each to their own.

Regards
Stephen
