Just used the "Magic Clay" stuff
Its raining here in Boston so I decided to clean my car up. The finish is only 5 years old but has a slight "sandpaper" feel to it. Paint is very shiney but not smooth. I tried one of the clay products and I am truly amazed at the difference.
I'm very skeptical and seem to buy stuff that just doesn't work. I can honestly say I did not waste my money on this purchase. Now only if there was a market for slightly used car waxes/polishes I'd be able to clean my cellar out. I ordered some Zaino products and I'm hoping they give me the results everyone is raving about.

I just started using Zaino's wax and it's the easiest part in the washing/waxing/polishing process. You just cary around the bar and a spray bottle with water and soap and keep the car moist while you "clay" the car. You do it in small sections and then wipe it dry. Makes the paint feel so much better!

You won't go wrong with the Clay Magic. Meguairs is alright to use also, but I would stay away from Zaino's clay. Its not as flexible and is smaller in size. Don't get me wrong I use all Zaino's products on my cars and YES I did throw all the other wax's out. :D
