Does it remove the wax as well? Any wrong way to do it?

Clay bars are a simple and product with amazing results.
Make sure the car is completely clean before you start.

Use lots of lubricant, small sections at a time and do the whole section in one direction then repeat at 90 degrees. Don't forget the windshield and wheels.

I also use small pieces of the bar and discard after a while. That way if you drop it you can just throw it away and break off another piece.

I took a look and I think we need a few user reviews before we can decide. Sounds like an interesting concept but I am usually afraid of change. I get great results from the clay so I am reluctant to make a change. Maybe someone has used this product and can give testimony.
