Has anyone used this clay bar, then compound, then polish, then wax? I was just reading and some people say that is the way to go.

I have done the clay, then the rubbing compound, then the wax and it looks GREAT! My personal opinion is if I were to use polish I would use it before using the compound and wax. The best place to ask is go to Griot's Garage and ask them. Since they sell all those products they would be the experts on how to apply it. They also sell a large colored pamphlet on how to use all of the products.

Hi! I loved it! I sprinkled over my colored polish, let it set for a few minutes, then put a coat of clear over it & it lasted over 5 days - & in GOOD shape. No beads coming off or anything. I was surprised.

This would be a paint cleanser clay removes all the contamination from the paint. Depending on what you're trying to achieve you could either use a 1 step polish then wax. If you want more correction you can compound, then polish, then wax. Always start with the least aggressive first and see if you're happy with the results.

I agree with Scottie. There are easier ways but the polish doesn't last. Take the time to use the Maas polish and you will have a long lasting shine. It also won't damage the finish.

I use a blend of Windex and Dawn. You don't grind the clay on dry. You do need some lubricant. I've used plain water and sudsy car-wash water also. Griot's has a specialty spray stuff that they recommend, but I've never tried it myself.

I found that if you are not careful when using it, reused clay may have particulates but only the ones you have introduced yourself...other wise it is very smooth...you can even get a decent polish on the surface.

They make a cleaner wax and a straight wax. I thinks this is the straight wax. It has no grit. I would think it is totally safe.

I have read most any instant detailer can be used as the lubricant for clay barring. So is there a reason this one would NOT be good to use (in place of say Mothers Showtime instant detailer which comes in their clay kit)?

Yes. That's exactly what I did. I like Epillys wax & I just heated it up & poured it in. I really like it. The wax never gets too hot either.

I believe you can use this clay bar for the windows to smooth out the windows. I've tried it on my windshield and it cleaned it well.

It depends how much correction your paint needs. The best would be to clay then compound following a polish then a wax. If you go with meguiars look up there professional line like the m105 followed by m205 then pick a wax

I would give the car a very good wash first to remove as much of the mold and mildew as possible. Remember this wax has a very fine abrasiveness to it and I can see it removing mold/mildew but I would go easy with it at first. For best results us a buffing drill that has low RPM's, take your time and with a little patients I'm sure your cars finish will look great.

This would not be enough on its own to remove contaminants and old wax in preparation for polishing and fresh wax. You could certainly use this for the initial wash, but ideally you want to follow with something like Pinnacle's Paintwork Cleansing Lotion or the P21S Paintwork Cleanser. For even more cleaning power, use a clay bar after washing before a paint cleanser, then polishing and waxing.Cheers!

Haven't used the wax yet as it has been too hot here to open the house. Plan to use it with in the next 2 weeks so email me after the 16th and I will let you know my experience. I miss the colorized Bruce Floor wax and cleaner also. Linda

I didn't buy this.After researching and talking to body shops, i ended up buying the Porter Cable.What i do is apply the wax with it, then wipe most of it off with a towel, then use it to buff. Belive me , you wont be sorry.

It's an all in one polish/wax. Honestly, I wasn't impressed by this. I stick with either menzerna power lock sealer or mcguiers marine wax as the last step after polishing with menzerna FG400 or SF4500. I'm not crazy about chemical guys polishes and compounds.

You shouldn't have to heat this at all; in fact, I would never recommend it. The wax should have been the consistency of fresh shoe polish. You should never have to do more than rub an applicator across it to get a nice, smooth paste. You seem to have received old stock; notify Amazon and the seller, and see what they can do about it. This stuff is wonderful to work with and a snap to use. You just didn't get what you paid for.
