I've read some threads on people's favorite clays, but I have yet to read about Griot's product. Any reviews, opinions, .02$ for me?

I've never clayed before and am looking to take the plunge. Thanks, all.

I have used Griot's products pretty much exclusively on my MINI. Haven't used any other clay before this, so no comparison. But I do really like it. Wow, how smooth it leaves your car!! Their show wax has a lot of carnauba in it and is some amount of work to buff off. Not bad, but not as easy as some of the new ones claim to be. So I have their stuff and will continue to use it until it is gone. Then I may try something else. Their Speed Shine (Quick Detailer) is great, and you need it to lubricate the clay anyways.

Enjoy yours!

 

Griots clay is made by the same manufacture that makes Pinnacle, claymagic and Mothers (as well as others). Griots distributes ok products, they just tend to overprice it, IMO.

 

Thanks guys. I put the order in, and I'll keep everyone aware of this beginner's quest for smooth paint.

Frankly I'm amazed at how much crap there is on my boot after only 5 months of driving.

One more Q - I have tar or solid brake dust on my wheels that refuses to come off - I tried bug and tar remover and everything else I could get my hands on - will the clay take this off as well?

I agree. I just pick up some Clay Magic (with lube spray) at AutoZone for $10. A much better deal.
