Meguiar's G1016EU Smooth Surface Clay Bar Kit with 180g of clay, 473ml Detailer and a microfibre towel: to safely remove surface bonded contaminants such as tar, tree sap, overspray and industrial fallout

The car is getting some lockdown love and clay was something I've heard of but never had the time to do. I gave the car a good wash using Meguires ultimate wash and wax using 2 bucket method then set about getting the car clayed up. The stuff ie easy to use I used half one bar. I Played with it in my hands for a minute to warm it up then use some of the detailing spray that comes with it to spray small sections and work the clay over the body work. This takes stuff off the car you cannot see with the eye and leaves it feeling smooth. No point in going to all that effort and not sealing it with something so some hybrid ceramic spray was applied afterwards. I’m going to start doing this as required to keep the pain in the car looking good. It’s well worth the effort and the beesing is great! Edit- I would actually recommend the new Meguiar’s hybrid ceramic wax and detailing spray to do the same job. It’s easier to use and did the same job. I’ll keep the physical clay for those hard to get spots. But the spray stuff looks to be easier for the same job

Was a little dubious about using this product, but oh my word, what a difference, absolutely blown away. I followed the instructions that came with the kit and was staggered by the results. The paint finish under touch went from rough to glass smooth and the dirt and imperfections removed by the clay was surprising and clearly evident to see. After running the clay over the entire vehicle I finished with a good coat of water activated Carnuba wax, gave it a chamois dry and the car looked showroom again, not an imperfection or swirl mark anywhere, faultless. I have an ‘09 car with black metallic paint - which is difficult to keep looking pristine - however I noticed over the following weeks that the dirt seemed not to stick as much, the car stayed cleaner and shinier for longer (something noticed and commented on by friends and family) and even after it’s next wash some 3wks later all it took was a basic wash, chamois dry and the car looked like it had just been polished again - and still not a blemish, mark or swirl in sight. Will invest in some of the premium Meguiar wax shortly and it again before the winter to make sure it is fully protected for the harsh conditions. Brilliant product, couldn’t be happier

Never heard of clay bars before....after reading up on Supagard and thinking "If I could do it myself, where should I start?" I came across clay bars in the process. I tried it today for the first time - did two attempts and was still at it by dusk such was my enthusiasm for what I was seeing. Suffice - I was quite amazed at how much dirt it pulls up and the result was quite simply brilliant. It 1. gets the dirt, road tar, bird mess off pretty easily 2. it's so much easier to do than elbow grease efforts, 3. it's reusable, so represents a great stepping stone to getting what was tired paintwork looking refreshed. Love it - hooked on this forever now.

Running a block of clay across a car's paintwork sounds like a crazy thing to do and a sure way of scratching up the entire surface, but I decided to put faith in all the positive reviews I'd read and to give it a go. I had a large section of paintwork covered in overspray that would not budge with my trusted AutoGlym Polish or even T-Cut. Following the simple instructions, it took just a 1/a clay bar to remove all the overspray and leave the paintwork feeling and looking smooth as glass. It is magical stuff. The main thing is to use plenty detailing spray to lubricate the surface, so the clay bar glides across the paintwork. You can feel and hear the change as you work the clay across the contaminated area. Keep folding the clay over to expose a clean section of clay and go again. The overspray was quite stubborn and took 3 or 4 passes to remove it all, but little by little it all came off to leave the paintwork as good as new. Then had the confidence to clay the whole car. Dry off, couple of coats of quality wax and my car has not looked as good since it left the factory. Only reason for 4 stars is that I would have found it helpful if Meguiar's had graded the clay or offered different grades for different jobs. The overspray I was dealing with took a lot more effort than expected and at one stage I didn't think it was going to remove it. A slightly more abrasive clay would have made the job a lot easier.

Really easy to use with good result getting rid of fly rust.

Tenía manchas que me habían tirado o caído. No salían con nada. En el concesionario sólo me decían que tendría que pintarlo, porque ni con pulimento ya salían. Me decidí a probarlo como último remedio. Y cual es mi sorpresa que deja el coche como recién salido del concesionario. El proceso es muy sencillo. Se lava normal, una vez seco y en frío, se aplica el flu flu y se pasa la arcilla. Dependiendo el grosor de la mancha, abría que frotar un poco pero enseguida sale todo. Y se seca con el paño que viene.... Queda maravilloso el coche. Los cristales, también..... Los 43 euros mejor invertidos en mucho tiempo.

Franchement bluffé. Ce kit permet de retirer les impuretés incrustées dans la peinture en un rien de temps. L’effet “peau de bébé” est réel, et la cire ajoute un joli brillant. J’ai récupéré un aspect presque neuf sur mon capot. Très satisfait.

Ottimo Kit G1016EU. Avevamo ritrovato sull'auto tanti piccoli puntini di vernice per ferro, fatti volare probabilmente da qualche "genio" che pitturava il balcone... fortunatamente grazie a questo clay bar è stato possibile rimuoverli. Consigliamo il kit in quanto lo spray è indispensabile per una buona riuscita. Noi abbiamo acquistato contemporaneamente anche il Meguiar's 86142 Kit per fare un servizio completo e più efficiente. Passaggi con i 2 kit: 1) lavare auto con Shampoo e Guanto in dotazione nel Kit 86142 2) asciugare con panno 1 per l’asciugatura del kit 86142 3) utilizzare il Clay Bar e lo spray Quik Detailer del Kit G1016EU 4) asciugare/lucidare con panno Kit G1016EU 5) passare sulla carrozzeria la cera Liquid Wax e lucidare con applicatore tondo in spugna e panno 2 del Kit 86142 6) passare sulle ruote l’Endurance Tire Gel col relativo applicatore in spugna del Kit 86142 Nota: il Kit 86142 ha un panno per asciugatura e uno per rimozione cera e rifinitura/lucidatura, quest’ultimo panno è uguale a quello contenuto nel kit G1016EU. Spero possa essere utile a chi dovesse trovarsi nella stessa situazione per colpa di altri…

Used a clay bar on my brothers car and it looked better than when he first bought it (used). This removed really old rust stains in the paint, made the BMW look amazing. One full bar was used for the whole car. The spray ran out halfway through the car. We tried using soap water (based on numerous YouTube suggestions) but the clay bar started to dissolve. We settled for water because the spray is much more expensive.
