I live by Zaino! even started to use the car soap! It's actually is better than the Amway soap I've lived by ever since i was a little kid helping dad wash the 66 Elcomino.

... I kinda wish I owned a black sti, cause after seeing one clayed and Zaino'd, I couldn't beleave how shiny it was. better than new.

Hope this isnt a stupid question but does zaino make a wax? I was looking around on their website and didn't find one. Only polishes and clay bar stuff.

Meguiar's clay is awesome. They have 2 versions, I always use the mild one which is blue.

My new favorite clay is Sonus Green. It removes most contaminants but it's mild enough that it doesn't leave marring or even strip the wax off the paint. It removes just about everything, although I use something stronger for paint overspray and other really nasty stuff.

I used Meguauir's kit for my first clay day and it worked great. Instructions on the box are how I learned and is basic like this video. And now i'm actually looking for a place where can i buy just the bars itself as I still have enough of the detailer spray still left. The bar i first used has too many contaminents tho to be reusing again ...

You like that one? That's the first clay kit I used and I thought the clay itself was very hard to work with.

I then switched to Meguiar's, but now I got a new favorite which is the wolfgang clay and lube. The Germans rock!

read there directions... then you'll understand...

you use it in place of wax (you even have to use Dawn dish soap 1st to remove the wax), it's a million times better. the 1st coat will take about 2 hours... after that, it only takes like 30-40min to add coats.
