hi is this any good http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magic-Car...ssories_Car_Care_Cleaning&hash=item27d1243dfe

Never heard of it, I'd stick with something like Bilt Hamber clay

 

[viperjsy]

ok thank you

 

[Matt W]

It can be used to remove rust??? WTF!

 

[Thrill]

It's s**t, trust me. Don't waste your £2, put it towards some good stuff.. meguiars or bilt hamber.

Technically Iron contaminants are rust particles, so it has some truth. Most knowledgable people use IronX/a contaminant/fallout remover.

Oh and no comment on how good it is, so stick to tried and trusted brands, such as BH mentioned above.

 

[Kyle 86]

BH is the best

Bh is brilliant stuff I used it on the 225 at the weekend.

The magic clay is similar to smartwax clay IIRC, wasn't bad as such, but the price you can get some for from a respectable trader I wouldnt bother with it.

 

[Mr Plums]

It looks the same as this??

I've heard All clay is the same are made in 1 warehouse and its sent too different company's and they just stick there own logo on it and charge more for it even tho its the same, what damage is a cheap clay going too do I wouldn't think it would be any diff from any other brand name clay bar.

[Scrooge]

Without being rude, but if you'd have tried a few you would know that they are different even if the same grade, then the different grades of hardness etc. Some probably are made by the same supplier, but not all.

And what harm can they do? Use it wrongly or use a harsh clay and you should should be polishing out the damage you inflicted.

Even after using an iron and tar remover every time I re wax, I will still clay once a year as it will still remove something albeit very slight.

Yes!!

I IX'd and Tardis'd my car the other day and it still felt a bit rough and gritty, I need to be ordering some more clay as it just leaves the paint feeling so smooth afterwards, If your paint has never been clayed/its been a while you will be able to feel the difference when you run your hand over the paintwork.

 

[Scrooge]

More often than not a car needs more than one hit of tardis and iron x anyway before claying.

 

[Coby.]

Oh no doubt, I have a black car now so it's a ballache to see if the iron/tar is removed
