No Clay? Use Magic Eraser
I always clay my cars before I wax them.Didn't have any clay this weekend,so I tried one of the Magic Eraser (originals).
After washing,with the car still wet I used a liberal amount of detail spray and a light touch on the Magic Eraser.
I tell ya,the finish was very smooth and slick..as good as with the clay and reusable.
Just thot I would pass this on.

Interesting tip. Wouldn't have thought about using a Magic Eraser for something like that.

They're made from Melamine foam (and chemicals), which in itself is abrasive and wears away much like a pencil eraser. The warnings say do not use on highly glossy or satin finishes.
But it's your car to do with as you please...

Just for grins, when I got a magic eraser a while ago I lubricated and brushed a small test section of paint. Looked OK until the sun hit it.
Fortunately, it was simple to fix with some rubbing compound.
Some people suggested it for leather too. Yeah, it gets it clean, but it wears right through the material and seriously reduces the life of your stuff.
I use mine for door sills as previously mentioned.

Anyone used this on a black C5?
