Default front doesn't look the same to me

maybe it's the photo angle or the way the illustration is done, but it doesn't look the same

Default Ok Troy, I'll grant you that.....maybe I should shop around a bit. But I think that

saying their products are "bad" isn't entirely accurate. Overpriced maybe.

Default Honestly, their poslishes and waxes are not very good, especially not compared to the stuff

available from Germany, be it 1Z or Menzerna. Also, their clay bar in particular is total and utter garbage.

Default Troy, I have Griots claybar, but never used it ...

what's the problem with it? If it's crap, I'll get another. There are a number of companies that make them, inlcuding Zaino, I believe.

Default I will melt all over you and make an ENORMOUS mess of the car. Seriously, I promise you it is

worth the cost of the bar in saved frustration for you to simply throw it away unopened. Buy either Clay Magic or Adam's. Both are great. Zaino's is good too, but Phil on the detailing forum sells Adam's and gives AWers a discount.

Default Re: DIY Question

If you have a harbor freight and tool in your area,you can find everything you will need. in particular,mm impact sockets covered in nylon that will protect your wheels.

Default Clay Magic is the best I've used.

And I've used pretty much everything out there. Griot's bar absorbs way to much liquid and turns to mush.
