How do you wash your car?

[CarCareProducts]

Fast Clean and shine.
Aquawax.

What's the go . Difference?

Fast Clean & Shine is a quick detailer to be used when the car is dry as a final touch!

Aquawax is used after you rinse before you dry as another maintenance coat which also like a quick detailer adds depth and gloss. But easier to use in the sense of, spray on whilst wet and dry off with the product on the car.

Best claybar?

PHO;

Preferably one that is from US or ultimately its said the Japanese are the best.

Clay Magic, Dodo Juice and 3M Clay Bars are from Japan - same grade all 3, personally me i prefer the Dodo.

Zaino & Mint Clay Bar is a US Clay Bar which is also very good.

The other "off shelf" clay bars are chinese poly-clay which if you were comparing its like chalk an cheese; in the fact of how easy contaminants come off, more chance to mar your paint with the cheaper clay bars and longevity of the clay bars from Japan & the US.

It is VERY important to use a good Clay specific lubricant however. Quick Detailers contain glossing/sealing agents which is contraindicative to what you are actually doing. The clay is to remove contaminants and remove product off the paintwork, not to actually "seal" the paint! We tend to recommend 49 Shine Clay Lubricant, or Born Slippy Concentrate from Dodo Juice

We wouldn't be able to say what it is like as we have never used it, best to ask the seller to see where it comes from.

The Mint Clay Bar is $19.95 less 10% discount for members as well, or $27.95 (less discount again) for Lube & Clay bar for reference

Any experiences with the 3M clay bar?

how do you feel about claying with normal (carwash) soapy water

Meant to be a good fine grade claybar. SOld by a detailer who used to post on these forums, owns ReflectEffect

I wouldn't really recommend to do so. Reason is that the washes tend to have "glossing" agents inside like also QD's. As well as if it does dry on your paint you can also create water spotting.

3M Clay Bar is a Japanese made clay and is very good. Clay Magic & Dodo Juice also just as good quality is the same.

Off record, i think clay magic and 3m are identical, same colour, same packaging and grade and both from japan. Bit suspicious!
