So with my last order of autogeek I decided to get a sample of this stuff to test it out. Now, as I had a full detail today i was anxious to try this. The Grand Marquis I was working on today wasn't terribly contaminated, but for reviews sake i'd take a shot anyhow.

The sample

Clay extender & cleaner applied, (this stuff smells exactly like Windex)

Little agitation, and spread the product throughout.

After lowering it into the bucket of soapy water and kind of shaking it around for 10 seconds, these are the results.

Conclusion: Product does exactly what it claims, removes 95%+ of debris on clay and makes your bar go a bit further before discard time.
This is a great product hands down, but as time consuming as decontamination process already is, I probably won't use it very often. ALTHOUGH this is great for when you pick up heavy heavy contaminated areas, and don't want it joining the fold. If you use clay and haven't switched to Nano/Speey Prep, I'd say this product is worth it.

This is my first product review so bare with me :D
Hope this review was helpful!

Nice review Colin....:props:

When you think about this it makes a lot of sense. Rather than folding the dirt and accumulated particles into the clay why not simply wash them off. Clay is expensive and if doubling or tripling it's life is this easy they why not do it....:props:
 
I have the clay cleaner and it does work.
 
Thanks,
I wonder if....spraying it on and agitating with a toothbrush would help it be even more effective in lifting off dirt/grime??

The reason I ask is I've tried using a toothbrush and clay lube to remove obvious dirt/grime before folding the clay and it has worked quite well.

Does this cleaner kind of foam up as the pic almost looks like that?

Thanks for the review.
