I used the Meguiar's clay bar kit for the first time 2 weeks ago. Definitely recommend it. Was nervous as hell rubbing my paint with a clay bar but she survived just fine. And the finish is as smooth as glass. Worth the effort.

For a simple liquid wax, I recommend Turtle Wax Platinum series. Easy to put on, take off, good results and great value for money.

Have read lots of rave reviews about claying so decided to give it a try. It didn't take too long. About 1 hour to do the whole car but afterwards, you also need to apply a coat of wax to seal the newly clayed finish. That process took about 2 hours by hand so the complete kit took about 3 hours to apply.

Check out eShine Canada- Canada's Car Care Leader.. I buy all my stuff that I can't find at Canadian Tire from there.

well i clayed my car....dont think it did that much or i didnt need to clay my car...it did make it shine so, still happy. IMO i think the 3 step wax works as well as the clay bar! thats if you keep your car clean from the start, i have always waxed my cars...might wax them too much lol (almost every weekend with the power buffer)
