I been using the eraser claybar on my car body n rims with pretty good effectiveness. Recently I found that it is less effective. Is it due to AGE. Also are there diff grades out there that are better at lifting grit off?

How long a claybar remains usable is due to several factors like

 

1) How you keep it (submerged in water?)

2) How you use it (with water alone? with QD or with car shampoo?) Different claybars react differently to chemicals and some claybars do degenerate faster when always in contact with shampoo)

3) How often do you use it?

4) How much dirt is being accumulated on the claybar?

 

There are generally 2 grades of claybar in the market, a fine grade usually used by end users for dirt removal and a cutting grade used by bodyshops to during prep and for the removal of paintspots. Be careful not to buy the cutting grade as you will end up sandpapering your ride [:p]

Ah Bengzwave.gif,

 

Do u used them very often,like once a week?For me,i used them onli when i find grit on my piant work and as long i find the claybar is too dirty after one or twice usage,i will throw them away.

 

Some claybar becomes soft after contact with certain quick detailer,for me, i used it with car shampoo onli.

There are 2 types,for soft and hard contaminents and i have heard that onli 2 factories are making claybars,so whathever brands of claybars,i guess they are abt the same

 

I have tried soft99,erazer and JW claybar,they are abt the same in terms or removing contaminentssmile.gifeasy to use.

 

My guess,time to change yr claybar liao brolaugh.gif

i read from Autopia that there's currently a patent lawsuit in the US on Claybar manufacturer. Read that a few brands of claybar including Erazer already stop production. Those in the market now is ex-stock... [:/]
