Re: Blackfire Clay Cleaner & Extender aka "The Clay Life Saver"
It does work very well. I will tell you, after using CC&E during your clay process, to rinse your clay really well before you store it...assuming you keep the piece you are working with. I had one piece that I pulled back out of the storage box and it was partially disintegrated. So I started rinsing leftover clay really well and a couple squirts of lube or QD before it goes back in the box now. No further problems.
P.S. I always store my clay inside in climate control, so the problem wasn't caused by heat/humidity, etc.

Re: Blackfire Clay Cleaner & Extender aka "The Clay Life Saver"
I have a question about this. Not for nothing but you fold and knead clay alot not just per car but per body panel. What about all the crap the clay catches in between each fold and knead? I only ask because if you think about it folding and kneading clay is just a way to get a clean part of clay but the inside that was previously kneaded and folded is still dirty. Am i missing something?

yeah you would use this while you are claying the car and before you knead it.
reading from the buy it page.
Do you see the problem here? You're folding all the removed grime and contamination back into the bar! The chemists at Blackfire created BLACKFIRE Clay Cleaner & Extender to remove the majority of grime and contamination on the bar before it is folded to keep the bar cleaner, longer.
Now when the bar becomes soiled, mist it with BLACKFIRE Clay Cleaner & Extender, massage it in the palm of your hand as you would a bar of soap and rinse with tap water, a garden hose or simply swish it in a bucket of water. Look at the difference! 95 to 98% of the grime has been removed! Now stretch and refold the bar and continue claying.

Re: Blackfire Clay Cleaner & Extender aka "The Clay Life Saver"
OK I have to ask the obvious question. If this stuff can dissolve and float away all the gunk your clay picks up, what if you spray this directly on your paint and wipe with a microfiber or foam applicator? Why would it only dissolve the gunk if it's on clay, rather than directly on the paint?

Great question! The act of rubbing an (abrasive) clay bar against the surface is the more effective tool for removing contaminants
