Meguiar’s G1016 Smooth Surface Clay Kit CustomerReview
It’s a good kit: comes with two bars, detailing spray (which you’ll use as clay lube), supersoft microfiber towel (which you’ll use to wipe off said clay lube), and cleaner wax. Going at 16USD, it’s a really good deal and you get what you pay for.br /br /IMPORTANT: IF A CLAYBAR DROPS ON THE GROUND, DO NOT USE IT ON YOUR CAR right after. Either cut off a good slice of the side that dropped on the ground or, as most people would do: THROW IT AWAY. Also, wash your car, or at least rinse it off, before using a claybar. If there’s too much dirt, you might as well render that claybar useless after a swipe or two.br /br /Order of Operations: (Warning, takes a while)br /1. Wash car, (Dry if you want to)br /2. a. Spray Lube on the claybar, br /b. Spray Lube onto an area (I do 1-4sqft)br /3. a.

Look at the claybar, if it’s getting dirty, fold it over to a new side and use that. If there’s a hard chunk of something in it, pinch it out and throw it away. br /c.

Wax carbr /br /Individual Item Notes: You’ll probably run out of detailing spray the fastest (depending on the car) and for that, I recommend picking up a bottle of Mequiar’s Ultimate Quik Detailer Spray. The cleaner wax it comes with is decent, providing only a moderate shine compared to Mequiar’s NXT Tech Wax or Gold Class Wax (I use Black Magic, if you don’t mind straying from Mequiar’s). The towel is amazingly soft. That’s all there is to really say about it. The claybar is mild. Very mild. The pick-up strength is very close to that of Turtle Wax’s Ice Liquid Clay Bar Kit, with the latter requiring less effort. Once again, you get what you pay for. If you have time or are willing to put in a little more effort than with a higher-grade claybar, then this’ll work for you. Otherwise, I recommend Pinnacle’s Ultra Poly Clay Bar (but it goes for 20USD, without any detailing spray), if you’re willing to dish out the cash.br /br /In Comparison: the amount of time spent using claybar with this kit vs. Pinnacle’s Clay Bar is roughly a 3:1 ratio, depending on how lodged into the surface contaminants are. If you live in a not-so-windy, not-so-dusty, not-so-much-tree-sap area, this’ll accommodate your needs just fine. Sad to say, I don’t, so I have stick with Pinnacle. If you want another claybar kit in the less-than-20 and mild range, I also recommend Mother’s and really recommend the aforementioned Ice Liquid Clay Bar Kit.
