Re: meguiars clay bar kit works!

I spoke to a guy that is in the detailing business last night and he has also been using clay for years. He told me not to waste money on the detail spray, he said he uses it with plenty of water and it works just as well,, he buys his clay at the local jobber (Keystone Automotive) and spends less than what the whole kit costs I look forward to trying it myself.

I have used clay for several years but the last time I experimented on my wife's Tahoe using only water, no detailer and it left alot of scratches. I kept it very wet, it just didn't work. The next time I filled a spray bottle with some water and car wash soap but it wasn't much better. The detailer seems to make it glide like butter. Just my experience.
