I believe Wally World carries Clay Magic and Auto Zone carries Mothers. Both are fine products and work well. Both come as a complete kit so there is nothing else to buy. I have used both products and can verify both are a good product that works well.

yea i got Meguiars from advanced auto parts. it worked great. how ever its taking for ever to do. i didnt realize how much of that crap i had on my car. iv spend atleast 4 hours on it so far and i still have the front drivers side quarter panel to do and the two driver side doors. im so soar its retarted. but im extremely happy that its got rid of that crap. it looked so bad even after i washed it.



thanks for all the help

I will be up your way over the Easter Holiday. Might have to plan a little mini meet.

yeah, basically the super fine sharp particles of steel embed themselves into the clearcoat and make a rust stain, just like if you left some wet steel on white porcelain or something...nasty stain occurs...and if they get down REALLY deep, which can happen when you wash it with them on there, or wax it with them on, they get into the body panel and start oxidizing IT as well..causing paint bubbles to start.

most commonly, the majority of the scattered industrial fallout, rail dust and rotor shavings end up on the rear of the car, on top of the trunk and the rear surfaces. my truck has some pretty nasty ones in the tailgate if you look closely, but I've clayed it twice now in the 4 months I've owned it and the majority are gone, and no more have started, not to mention that its much nicer to wash and wax a glass smooth surface than it is to wash something that feels like high grit sandpaper.

took me about 45 minutes to do the truck, obviously larger than a bonneville, so not sure why its taking that long for you.

and remember, just because you did it once, doesn't mean its good for a LONG time again, you should do it at LEAST every year, preferrably every 6 months, but you can do it as often as you'd like otherwise.

serious pain on white cars though, those rust spots realllllllly can mess up the appearance of the body panel.

sounds good to me. but i may be up at my parents property near clare. but im not sure yet.


it took me so long because the entire car was covered in it. and its wasnt like here and there it was horrible. and the had to rub so hard it was retarded. they were inbedded good. i did get it out but it was a pain in the ***. and thats just how i am as well. cant help it im a perfectionist

So this is why it took me so long to get ride of the spot. this is after i was all done but this little part by the plate. keep in mind like most of the car was atleast half this bad. how i really dont know. could be from the few times i have to drive to work and i work and a steel processing plant........did i forget to mention that oops.

I snowmobile up in Michigan and the vehicles often get that when we are there. I think they use talc or something like that to treat the roads. Its way different from the nasty sand salt combo here in MN. I'd rather have what you guys have.
