 The Usual Excellent Meguiars Product May 28, 2007

I've always thought highly of Meguiars products. The professional line has been especially good. In recent years they've brought items that were often only used professionally and introduced them to the larger enthusiast market. This is an example of a product that was until relatively recently avaialable only to the pros. The clay kit is well thought out and does an excellent job even to those unfamiliar with the use of clay. The kit is essentially self contained as it contains the clay, the high lube detailer and a microfiber towel (a bonus is the sample bottle of cleaner / wax).
To appreciate the benefit you're getting, you'll really want to try the Meguiars recommended test: run your hand over the surface after it's washed and dried. Feel how relatively rough it is, then use the clay. The difference will amaze you! Great stuff...enough said.
Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit is One Key to a Show Car Finish September 15, 2008

When I first read about claying your vehicles, several years ago, I was a bit skeptical. It seems strange and like a lot of work for you car, but both impressions were incorrect.
After washing your vehicle with a safe wash, Claying your vehicle is the next step and a vital step. Claying removes above surface contaminants on your paint's surface: bits of overspray, tar, etc. and lots of other things you can or more likely can't even see. After washing your car, rub your flat hand across the surface. It won't smooth as glass. Furthermore, listen! You'll hear your hand going back and forth over the surface as it rubs against the contaminants. This is a car that needs to be clayed and just about any car if it has never been clayed needs to be clayed. Even a brand new car on the lot often has contaminants. Furthermore, once clayed, it's usually recommend to do it again every 3 months to a year, depending on the environment your car is in. Honestly, claying your vehicle doesn't take a particularly long amount of time. I'd say it's possible to do it in just under thirty minutes.
The Smooth Surface Clay Kit from the wonderful folks at Meguiar's is the perfect kit to clay your vehicle. Again, after washing your vehicle, spray an area with the Quick Detailer, and then use the clay bar across the surface. You can search Youtube for Meguiar's Clay kit, to see demonstrations from users, but it isn't hard to do. Do a thorough job on your vehicle, and the way your hand then moves across the surface will impress you. I'm amazed every time.
After claying, you have several options. The clay kit includes a sample of cleaner wax, and you can certainly use that. It has some mild cleaners and some protection. However, if you use a cleaner wax, I'd recommend waxing the car more often as it isn't quite as durable as dedicated separate products. Once a month for example with the cleaner wax, would be good. Or, you could use the cleaner wax for its mild below surface cleaning properties followed by a more robust wax product such as Meguiar's Gold Class or NXT 2.0, and then you could potentially be set for a few months.
If you want to do even more after claying, you can use a paint cleaner from Meguiar's for below surface contaminants right after claying, and then optionally a Pure Polish after that. You'd top all that off with a wax such as Meguiar's Gold Class, or Meguiar's NXT 2.0.
Furthermore, pick up more of the Quick Detailer, and you can use it to remove light dust and contaminants to your paint on a regular basis, and you can actually find you won't have to wash your vehicle as often.
Whatever you choose, regular maintenance of your car's finish will keep you smiling for years to come. Meguiar's clay kit is a great way to start because not only does it make your finish smooth as glass, but it allows whatever wax you apply to adhere more evenly and properly to the surface, providing a better shine and longer lasting protection.
A great product. Highly recommended.
Amazing! June 3, 2007

I just recently bought a '99 Honda, and when I rubbed my hand across the paint surfact it felt like sandpaper. After using this product, it felt like glass! This was EASY to use (you don't have to be a car expert) and you get professional results. Definately worth every penny.

Excellent product from Meguiar's. The process is simple - wash the car, "lubricate" small areas with the detailer spray, and rub the clay across the finish. I was amazed at how much dirt and contaminants came off my seemingly clean car, and you could tell a huge difference between the treated and untreated areas. Finish off with an application of the included cleaner wax and your car will shine.
As the clay is abrasive, I wouldn't recommend doing this too often, but I'm really impressed with the results.
Great experience from a first-timer. September 8, 2007

I bought one for my car and it was super easy to use. Process took about 30 minutes. It includes everything you'll need (hence the kit) and works well. Bought one for my mom who knows nothing about car maintenance and she thought it was great too.
