Clay Bar Alternative

[ZomzSVT]

I was on chemicalguys.com looking to get some more products to restock/expand my supply of detailing stuff, and I seen an alternative to clay bar. It's called "Clayblock" and is used like a clay bar. Ad claims it works better, easier, etc than a conventional clay bar.

Maybe I'm a little afraid of change, but personally I'd be a little hesitant with how well clay works. I like the idea that you can continue to kneed it to get a clean surface so you aren't rubbing over the paint with a dirty side, especially with some of the fleet vehicles I do that are terrible.

I was wondering if anyone or anyone they know has used it? :shrug:

It probably works the same as a normal Clay bar, just a big chunk of it. I think its a deal if you can get 15-25 cars with that one block.

Grab it if you want to try it. I also like how the lubricant is the "Luber.":laugh:

I don't know how much easier it could be, just spray on the lube, rub on the clay till it moves easier and then wipe down and move to the next section:shrug:

It's like a big giant eraser... like using one of those white vinyl erasers to get rid of scuff marks. It's a little too expensive.

Just ordered one the other day..we'll see how it works..Right now im useing there Gray ( Light duty ) and Purple Heavy Duty clay bars..Work great..Remove alot..Chemicalguys FTW..I'll never use anything else..
If you wanna know more about there Product give Paul a call and he'll help you out more than you can believe..24/7 support

Yeah, I figured it had to be similar to the thing for removing scuff marks, and those work alright so...

I have been using Griot's clay for a while now, but I need to go through and get some new supplies. Everything is so mixed. (Griots, not too big of a fan of. Zaino obviously great stuff but too expensive for these cars. Poorboys stuff which is nice, I'd like to try something new though. Chemical guys, I've read some good things and I think their products are geared towards my situation nicely. too name a few...)

Haven't exactly decided on what I want to get, and I did read about their customer support, so I'll have to give Paul a call and get some things ordered. I don't know if I'll be getting the 'Clayblock' or not, but let me know what you think of it. Especially how you think it'll hold up with numbers of very dirty cars. I got the next two weeks off before I go back to school and got 5 cars lined up, so... :crazy:

Zomz..All there Products are great..Ive yet to buy somthing from them and not like it..Ive spent close to 1K with them already and no regrets..

that seems shady man,..def trust clay more I guess:shrug:

[Jorgen]

Eh who knows it might be worth trying out once. Spend the bucks and see worst case it doesn't work and yoru out that initial investment. I am going to guess there are some things that woudl work easier to do and some things traditional clay would still do much better for.

Hey Zoom, what do you not like about the Griots bar, how sticky it is or what:confused:

[ZomzSVT]

Don't get me wrong, overall it's a very good clay IMO. Only thing is I don't feel it's aggressive enough for my application, and it seems to not last that long.

It's a little more expensive, but I like the Mequires proffesional clay (aggressive, part# C-2100 I think). Although, you do have to have a nice lubricant or it's tough to use I think.
