did it do any damage to your car? why would you use it so frequently? i did'nt get those fallout spots for years. i won't use it that much--just when that crap builds up on the paint.....

Ic sorry , I am a professional detailer , I use it during every power polish aplication thats why its used every day. 40 bucks a bar = lots of money a month removing harsh contaminents.

oh no wonder why you use it so much! have you ever seen clay bars remove good paint or do any damage to customer's cars? for a long time i did'nt want to buy one on these clay bars beause i was afraid it might scratch the paint. after i read many posts about people raving about them, i decided to buy one & try it & i'm delighted with the results. i did the whole car & then followed up with a coat of liquid glass. it looks awesome! also, the fine scratches from the car wash at the asshole dealer seemed to of vanished. how wierd. usually when the sun shines from a certain angle, sometimes you can see slight haze from the car wash brushes. does the clay bar fill in the scratches or maybe the lube? it looks much better.....

[Markgase2000]

The lube is a liquid wax (cheaters wax), it will temporarily keep it waxed and hide those scratches.
The clay only touches the clear coat so the scratches can be removed or hidden much easier than deep level 2-4 scratches. That clay bar if kept clean will last you for years. Wear rubber gloves when handling it for more than 5 minutes or it will make yer skin rough and peel.

yeah, the scratches our only on the clear coat surface. their very slight & only can be noticed from certain angles under very bright sunlight. funny thing you mentioned the skin. my hands are still dry & cracked from using it & i used it on sunday. maybe i'll get some very thin gloves the next time i use one. it's amazing how clean the bar is after doing a entire car. i keep folding it over after each body panel. i guess the contaminants are held in suspension in the clay or something.....

5 out of 10 times I use pure water with the clay, right after wash. As long as you keep folding the clay there will be no scratching.
