The clay bar worked for me. It took off all the little particals which were imbeded in the paint. I use the clay every 6 months. I can tell by passing my hand over the hood of my car to see if it feels smooth or rough.

Mine works GREAT.. I took overspray off my entire car in less then an hour.. I like using it with windex instead of the detailing spray like they suggest..Seems to work a little more aggressively..

I have used it several times and I like it because it is very fine and won't hurt the clear.

I;ve used the clay bar a few times on my 70. I used the supplied spray until it ran out, then I used a very mild soap & water mix.

I used it on my '02 Ram pickup and removed all the overspray and have used it on my honda... worked very well.

Works great, very noticeable. Just remember you'll need to polish and wax after you clay. The clay bar strips off all the wax along with removing embedded particles and contaminants from the paint surface. I use the Mother's clay bar and detailer spray.
