Just bought Mothers California Gold Clay Bar Kit

Hey all, Back again. I just bought this clay bar kit from Wallyworld and was wondering if its a good kit. As of now I wash my car weekly so I don't have a lot of debris clinging to the clear coat but I figured it would be a good idea to purchase it since I wash my car under a large tree. I figure I'll clay twice a year, once in the fall after all of the trees loose their leaves and once in the spring after all of the trees bud.

Back to the main question, is this a good kit? It includes 2 clay bars, detailing spray and a microfiber cloth.

It's a good kit, just use a gracious amount of clay lube so you don't inflict marring.

I agree. Easy to work with. Good price. Not to mention the cinnamon scent of Showtime, which I love.

Depends on the outside temperature. If the weather is cool, may run the clay under some warm water for awhile to make it more plaiable.

If it is cold out put it in a baggie in your front pants pocket. The temp of your junk warms it up just right
