Customer Raves for Smooth Surface Clay Kit

"I purchased your Smooth Surface Clay Kit, and used it on my wife’s Suburban. It is 3 years old and had a ton of rail dust on the paint, which your product removed as advertised. I also own a 1998 Camaro with 100k on it. The paint was re-done 2 years ago but never really looked right to me. Yesterday I thought I would try to clay bar it to see if there was some overspray or something on the finish making it look dull. After using a new clay bar on a small section of the hood I was surprised to see light blue overspray on the clay bar! Needless to say I was excited. The clay bar treated the entire car giving it a depth and shine that it lacked since it was painted! Thank you for a wonderful product that is easy to use, and gives great results! Now to finish it off with a coat of NXT Tech Wax. -Your NEW lifetime customer "

"When washing my 2003 Honda Pilot, I noticed that I had something that felt like sap all over the surface. I have been a long time user of Quik Detailer and when that didn't phase this stubborn substance, I headed to my local auto parts store in search of something to rescue my paint. I found the Smooth Surface Clay Kit and was initially a little skeptical. The package had a before and after side by side that felt like exactly what I was looking for. I made my final decision to purchase based on my previous 20 years using Meguiars products and felt like that was all I needed to know. Well, let me tell you, the product worked exactly as stated and I couldn't be happier. I'm telling you, the stuff that was on my paint was heavily adhered to the surface and showed no signs of coming off. I just knew I was heading to a detailer for an expensive visit, but the Smooth Surface Clay was just amazing. After applying, I wiped off the residue with the really nice micro fiber towel that came in the kit, and then applied the Cleaner/Wax. The surface is now smooth like it used to be when it was brand new and looks like a new car also. Thanks for rescuing my paint and thanks for continuing to be a dependable leader in car care products for the do it yourself car owners."

"I just had to write you. I rarely, if ever, write a company to give my personal "review" of their products, but I recently realized that I should have done so about Meguiar's products years ago. The final straw was when I bought a "Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit" at a Target store the other day. I've been hearing about "claying" a car's paint for years now, but I've never had the courage to try it! Why I waited so long I'll never know. I should have trusted the Meguiar's name and should have known that the products that are formulated and marketed by your company would have been tested over and over again and would be 100% safe if used as directed. This is a very over-used phrase, but, your Smooth Surface Clay Kit was truly "life-changing". I didn't even realize how many Meguiar's products I used, but as I was using this clay system on my summer car, a jewel-box- mint Audi TT ALMS edition with 21,000 miles, I started looking at everything I use to wash and maintain our cars, and everything is from Meguiar's! Interior, exterior, washing, waxing, tires; everything! I thought that this car's paint was smooth before, but the difference is amazing. If you purposely leave a spot un-clayed, and show someone and let them run their hand over it, they'll be as hooked as I am! There is no better value on the car care market than this Clay Kit, I guarantee that. For the price of a full-service car wash, a person can do at least 3 vehicles with this kit, or more. I walk by the cars and I can't help but run my hand over the paint, and every time I do, it still blows me away how smooth and clean the paint feels. After 30 years of being a fanatical car guy, I'm kicking myself for not getting this sooner!"

"I recently purchased my pride and joy, a brand new Mazda MX-5. It’s a convertible metallic grey. I live in Scotland so the hood gets down about twice a year. Around 2 weeks ago I decided to give it a good wash but wanted to keep the showroom finish. I have used other brands in the past but none of these gave my car the wow factor. After scanning various websites for a good product to detail my MX-5 I came across your own which is well designed and helpful. It showed me all the things I was doing wrong when previously waxing and polishing the car. I wasn't aware that the Meguiar’s brand was sold in the UK but when I went into my local car store I was happy to see that your Clay Bar Kit was on the shelf. I immediately purchased this and set about cleaning my new car before using the clay bar and detailing spray. Now remember when I first took ownership of the car it had been prepared and polished and looked amazing. If I could have kept it looking like that I would have been happy. After claying the car and using the detailing spray I couldn't believe the difference. It was literally like a mirror! Once the wax was applied it gave it the deep shine that any car detailer would have been proud of. So just to remind all my UK companions, this stuff is sold in our country and if you really want a "better than showroom finish" then use this stuff. My other brands will all be going in the bin. Thanks Meguiar’s!"

"I recently had the opportunity to use your your Smooth Surface Clay Kit system to remove overspray from the paint of my street rod. I was thoroughly impressed how quick, easy and good it worked. So I did my other car. Both paint jobs turned out smooth as glass. I've been telling all of my friends about it. GREAT PRODUCT!"

"Your Smooth Surface Clay Kit is the best clay kit by far. I own a 2001 Ford Focus and the paint is still decent but has the normal wear and tear and swirls. After using the Smooth Surface Clay Kit I noticed an incredible difference in the smoothness of the paint. I will recommend this product and all Meguiar’s products to everyone I know! I showed my dad and he couldn’t believe how well this product works. Needless to say I turned him into a die hard Meguiar’s fan too. Keep the great products coming! "

"Dear Sirs, I am a big fan of your vehicle care products. I use them on everything from my Harley to my golf cart. Just weeks after bringing home a new truck I discovered it had received a good shot of overspray. I don't know where I picked it up but it’s a large vehicle and I thought I would be in for a ton of work. I picked up your Smooth Surface Clay Kit (G1016) and to my amazement it removed the unwanted materials very easily. The truck shines better than the day I drove it home. Thanks for your great products. It is common today to pick up an item because you have seen an advertisement, only to find that it doesn't do what they said it would do. Your products always do the job. Thanks!"

"Hi Meguiar's. Many thanks for your clay kit. I have a 1990 Infiniti G20 that I have buffed with your products. Boy does the car look great! As an older car that has always been kept outside and not babied at all, I held my expectations in check. But the results have been super. The paint has been damaged by the years, but your clay kit has really brought the whole look of the car back-and on a black color car no less. Also, I would like to let you know that I found out about this product from watching Jay Leno's Garage."

"I just tried your Smooth Surface Clay Kit and I'll never go back to the other brand I used! The Clay Bar with the sample of Cleaner/Wax just made my car look and feel great. I don't think people know how easy it is. My 3 year old daughter is helping me put on the wax. I am never using anything but Meguiar’s again! "

"In 1989 my father restored a 1967 Corvette. I have spent this week detailing it, and getting it ready for Bloomington Gold. I have been a long time user of your Gold Class Wax. I read an article on the Meguiar's clay bar system, and being a skeptic I was hesitant to buy it but thought what the heck. I purchased the clay bar system, a new can of Gold Class paste and the Quik Detailer to use afterwards and at the show. I started off with the clay bar, which was very simple to get used to. As I was working the paint, I was thinking "I don't see how this is really doing anything." I then re-sprayed the area with the Quik Detailer and wiped it all down. I kid you not, I darn near had a heart attack at the age of 30. This clay bar system removed so much garbage from the past. I couldn't believe it. The finish of the car was incredibly smooth. I was pumped, and couldn't wait to hit the rest of the car with the clay bar, then with the rest of the products. My father, came out to see the end result after I applied the Gold Class wax, and was blown away. This finish is better than it was 18 yrs ago when the car was repainted. I went on to use the clay bar, and the other products on the chrome bumpers and any chrome pieces. This stuff is amazing. I am kind of "old school" in my ways, and I'm hesitant on new ways to clean a car. Never again. I am kicking myself for not buying this stuff earlier. I have always loved the Gold Class, and the results. Now I am obsessed with the clay bar as well. "

"I used the Clay Bar, Quik Detailer, and Cleaner Wax on a 90 day old base coat/clear coat red paint job. The clay bar really smoothed out the surface. I was amazed. I didn't know there was something so easy to use that worked so well. I had a layer of contaminants on the new paint job that would not wash off. I was hoping that what was on there was not embedded in the paint. The clay bar procedure has never been recommended to me by the paint shops, even when asked about how to get the contaminants off. Thanks a lot."
