I just wanted to give some props to clay magic. I got their product yesterday because i could just feel the dirt all in my paint when rubbing my finger across it. I would wax and it would still feel like sand paper. I stopped at the store to pick up some clay magic and used it on the car, it feels sooo smoothe now. Just wanted to share a good experience

I just polished my car. I used Griot's Machine Polish #3 (their tamest polish) and I liked what I saw. I then did the plastic bag trick -- you feel the paint surface by putting your hand in a plastic bag and lightly rubbing over the paint surface. I was amazed how much contamination was still in my paint, even after doing a machine polishing.

I used Griot's clay product and it made a remarkable difference in the feel of the surface. I can't yet tell if it will actually be a difference I can see (I just put on a coat of Zaino Z2, waiting for it to dry) but I will probably use clay at least once a year from now on. It's very quick and easy.

BTW, what is "props?"
