Well Nica, I hope you don't mind but here is my limited stockpile of the Erazer clay...

And you have got to have the money shot! This is 1/3 of a bar... perfect size, IMO:

budman no worries bro, you know how I love pictures....very nice stash. Oh I got some money shots bro, I used the clay today and brotha let me tell you the clay is amazing. So easy to manipulate it and has a good bite, leaves the paint feeling so smooth just like a baby's bottom hahaha.

I'll post the posting shortly.

Oh I agree, you don't need much clay to do an entire vehicle. I took one of the three bars and cut it in half and did the entire vehicle with it. The car was in really bad shape and the pease of clay that I used felt like sand paper when I was done.
 
I got the chance to use the clay and took some pictures of it in action.

Enjoy:

Out of the three bars I took one of them and cut it in half and I did the entire vehicle with that half peace.

If your wondering how good this clay can bite, check this picture out. Keep in mind this is a vehicle that was never cleaned or maintained...the perfect candidate to test the clay. This is just a few pases in one section.

Hope you like.
 
Nica,what did you use for lube..eraser clay holds up real nice..it kneads well and dosen't crumble..glides nice over the paint.. ok so what did you thing lol

Thanks for the update
 
The lube, I had some left over Mothers QD lube but then I switched over to Pinnacle Clay Lube and I prefer the Pinnacle Clay Lube. What I did though was wash the vehicle and with the water that was left over I clayed. I find that just using the water left over the vehicle works good too but in spots where there is no water I sprayed the Mothers QD or the Pinnacle Clay Lube and it worked great.

I like the way the Pinnacle Clay Lube feels, seems to go well with the clay.

What I think about the clay, I love it. It's like having butter in your hands. The clay has a really good bite and I love the how easy the clay can be manipulated. You can stretch it out knead it as much as you want to find a nice clean area and a way you go. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

I have a few vehicles coming up to do so I'm all set and ready to go...oh one more thing. I know that clay is supposed to do this (so no surprised) but after claying the entire vehicle + windows everything was smooth and it brought the paint up a bit. I find that Pinnacle Clay Lube seems to bring the paint up quite a bit, after claying and using some Pinnacle Clay Lube the vehicle's paint looks much better and it feels really smooth. That's just me though, I'm all about feeling out the car.

Well hope some of you find this useful...hey this is like a mini review..mm...I did a review with out even thinking about out hahahaha...and here I am all stressed out about doing a review. Oh speaking of review I'll be posting up the review of the Buffing With Confidence video shortly.
 
What's the prize tag on those babies? I need those! My wife will kill me but.....
 
Hey Daniel, they were on sale but I purchased a bunch at $19.99 here in Canada. I still think they are cheap if you ask me, it comes with 3 clay bars each at 2oz...not bad if you ask me.
 
I WANT YELLOW CLAYYY! I have relatives in Canada. If I ever buy any yellow clay from Canada and try to bring it with me on the plane, will they get confiscated?
 
Nica, a 3M blue clay here is $57!! I'm going to bring home this stuff and sell it myself.

where are you guys getting these other brands? i know the ricardo is from canada and eshine - they don't ship to the US - but these others? I would be curious to try some other brands!Feed back please sorry nica, not intending to hijack!!!:grouphug:
 
klumzypinoy - I'd be carefull with that but do what Lauren said put it in your checked bagg, should work fine. I do that lots when I go back home and I bring tons of stuff back with me :D.

Daniel - $57, yikes that's alot for clay. Heck I can get the clay here really cheap...not sure how much but it's just so easely available. I go to an Autobody shop here all the time and they carry lots of 3M products, I'm starting to try 3M products not the cheapest but so far I got good things to say about it. I still revert back to my Menzerna products but slowly I'm getting around to using some 3M stuff...oh one thing I'll say if you ever want some strong, strong compound 3M has some wicked stuff. I got a small smaple from the body shop and man that's stuff is strong...can't recall the name, it's in line with the Perfect it family though. Well that and there wool pads I've used, that's about it though. Haven't tried there clay.

wytstang - I can just imagine that at an airport and on the news. "Today at the airport an vehicle detailing enthusiast was apprehended for what appered to be C4 explosives, turns out it was nothing then clay bars to detail vehicle with"....funny but sadly true :D

ltoman - worries babe, all questions lead to great info. It's all good babe ;)
 
Lauren it is very very hard to find it. Most of it is old stock but you have to find a store that still has them. The guy I used is all out. You can try a google search for SmartClay and "Clay Stuf" but it's getting very difficult to find. Maybe PM Nica and he can get you some.
