the claybar looks like a giant jolly rancher. mmmm

+1 on the sponsor again!

How big are the bars you get in the box when you buy the Mothers kit?

[bubba1983]

they are 83ml....so about 2.8 ounces!
considering the mothers kit comes with detailer and paint cleaning stuff, and costs $25...as we all know the clay is only good for so long, and the detailer and stuff will outlast the clay...so if you need new clay, thats another liek $25!!!
it works out to be a better deal IMO!

[Wild Weasel]

My clay has lasted for years now. I wrap it in plastic wrap when I'm done, and it hasn't failed me yet.

But I generally already have detailer so the $25 for the "kit" seems like a waste to me.

[bubba1983]

my sentiments exactly. uve had your clay for years? it should have been waay contaminated by now!!

[Wild Weasel]

I don't use it very often. Maybe once a year. I thought you meant they dry out or something.

[bubba1983]

ooooooooh, gotcha!!!
i do my car twice a year, once in spring, and once in fall wiht clay, plus ill do the odd other car along in a year...so i guess i go thru a bit.
Retail clay that you buy in stores should only be used annually, or semi annually, as its a bit more abrasive, but Sonus came out with a milder formula of clay that you can use more often if you wish to clay more often.

[Wild Weasel]

I wish to clay less often. I f**'n hate doing it. :) Maybe I'm too detail oriented, but it takes me many hours...

[bubba1983]

usually in at about an hour or just over for clay myself!

[Wild Weasel]

WTF? I wonder if we're doing the same thing... somehow I doubt it.

It took me over a couple hours just to clay the bugs off the front bumper and mirrors a week or so ago.

[bubba1983]

bugs? that should come off during a wash...
clay si for liek surface oxidization, nto bugs...LOL

[Wild Weasel]

No way man. These bugs weren't coming off in the wash. :bang
