Its a WIZARD product, its worth every penny.



Their metal polish alone with no power buffers used just your own elbow grease WILL polish aluminum to show quality finish.


if their metal polish does that, i used their products when i used to detail side jobs out of the shop i worked at in high school.

Depends if you want to do a half ass job or not.

Imagine rubbing every panel in your car with a piece of clay, while spraying soap water at the point you're going to rub every few seconds.... it's time consuming.

It's worth it if there's shit all over your paint.

You would want to wash your car really good first, to get as much dirt and crap off as possible. Don't do this in the direct sunshine, it will bake the clay on there, and it's more of a pain in the ass to get off. I would buff after doing this also. You're basically taking EVERYTHING off your clear coat that shouldn't be there.

remember to apply a total coat of wax after you're done claying. clay takes everything off. dirt, bugs, wax and all.

i got a 3m bar in my garage..picked it up from portage auto parts. Clay bars work..there is a world of difference in the feel of the paint before and after.

if you take the time to clay your car, you might as well buff it when you're done.
