I found good things from them mate. I use it with lube and snowfoaming the full car for extra lubricity. They work well imo and will last a lot longer than traditonal clay. You're just supposed to wash them in soapy water after use and store well.

the damage that can be caused from using a clay mitt. This was on a Honda S2000 so presuming fairly soft paint, But I also experineced this a little on a gloss black Golf

@Yellow Dave How do you get rid of it? Presumably polishing?
Golf GT & A4 Avant
Yes machine polishing, but that is the worst example I've seen of wash / clay marring so go careful is all I would say

Wow. It's almost flatted!
Very carefully! I've seen damage done like that with traditional clay. The problem you have if there are many different grade clays, most clay cloths are one grade.
Bilt hamber soft is the only thing I would touch Honda paint with, or any soft paint, Subaru and Porsche also. Taking a clay cloth to an S2000 is insane imo.

they are a great time saver without doubt. but if you're decontaminating properly there really shouldnt be all that much left on the paint to need a heavy clay so spending a little longer with a tar remover can make claying much quicker.

It'd be a quicker way to remove orange peel than wet sanding!

Demon machine rapid dirt shifter, rinse car, spray liberally with this. Leave to dwell then pressure rinse off works very well

Ta. Picked some up this afternoon, will give it a bash tomorrow

If you're washing a pretty dirty car even after your normal pre wash, go over it again with snow foam then wash as normal. Makes a right mess but helps the wash

Used this for the first time today - Really impressed with it

I got inpatient and tried some of my VP Citrus pre wash this afternoon on the rear of the Megane, With snow on the ground LOL. Properly impressed with it miles better than the AF pre wash i had used before. Cleaning power is brilliant, Applied via a pressure sprayer then i literally just rinsed it with water out a watering can since the hose is buried under the snow.
Look forward to giving it a proper go when the weather clears and i can get my pressure washer out.
Cheap too, £20 for 5litres!

Random post, but just thought I'd share (and probably state what most of you know anyway!)
Bought some AF iron out during the week and used today. Brilliant stuff and thoroughly recommended to anyone!
Will be using AF rejuvenate tomorrow before getting some wax on. Slightly sad that I'm a bit excited lol

One of the best tips I ever found. Washing is so much better and easier with snowfoam on the car.
Cheers man.
Sorry for being dumb but currently I snow foam, rinse, wash with two buckets, rinse then dry. Where would you recommend adding a second snow foam?
Rejuvenate is very good. Nice cleanser diet puller. Iron out isn't a patch on some others.

Snow foam, rinse, snow foam, wash two bucket method, the extra suds of the snow foam helps with the washing

I like the thicker fallout removers like iron out for wheels, but for bodywork there is no denying IronX is still king of the hill
I really didn't get on with Rejuvenate via rotary. I'll be giving it another go next week for AF test group but I might have to resort to hand application.
Something a little different today.. A bit of preparation on a freshly restored Vauxhall Carleton GSI3000. Finished this one in a couple of coats of AF Illusion.

Yeah, I use them on a regular basis.
I use Bathe+ on pretty much all maintenance washes I carry out at the moment. Wetcoat is brilliant, extremely easy to use and gives great results, same goes for Cancoat.
Tire is probably my favourite tyre dressing on the market at the moment, very durable, gives a lovely finish with no fling.
Hard to fault any of their products, (Other than the V1 Cancoat) the only one I haven't got round to using yet it Cure, hoping to use it on an M5 I have booked in at the weekend.

Gyeon tire is a favourite and lasts very well, but does require a good clean and dry tyre for it to work well. Nice finish also
I've only used the bathe+ and didn't find it all that slick on general maintenance washes, but we are in a pretty hard water area so might require a stronger dilution. Water behaviour is pretty good but didn't find it last all that long
Also tried iron, tar and prep and all seem pretty decent performers, but the die in the tar remover can leave behind colour traces when removed and required a light cleanse polish to remove. Apparently this issue has since been addressed.

A while back, I questioned how dirty people thought their cars were as they posted pictures of hydr02 I think after 3 to 4 weeks.
This is a quick photo after 10 days of typical use for me. Car is gloss black wearing sonax Polymer net shield topped up with either reload or BSD

Since when is heavy green laning typical use?
How can you go on cleaning cars when that's only ten days worth of use?!
