Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Synthetic Clay for Car Detailing, Creates a Smooth Paint Surface and Lasts Longer Than Traditional Bars, 10691

Let me first say that I have been auto detailing for 27 years and I have seen products come and go. Some good and some bad. One thing that I always hated was the "claying part" for many reasons. Clay is too hard, clay is too soft out of the package when you get it. Plus, if you drop the clay you are using on the ground, you need to throw it away and get a new bar to use so you dont risk scratching the panel you are working on.You can forget about all those things I just mentioned! Griots listened and solved all those problems. A synthetic piece of clay, that when it becomes dirty from working the panel or you drop it on the ground by accident, you can just rinse it off and go back to your work without any worries about scratching the paint on the panel! Sounds GREAT, but does it truly work?Yes it does! It might be slightly pricey ($20 ish) but it does exactly what Griot's claims! Not only can you just rinse it off if it becomes dirty or falls on the ground, they claim it can do around 20-25 cars. I have used it on 3 full cars so far with excellent results! It is easier to use than regular detailing clay and in my opinion, it works better as it does not take as long to do a full car. I will update this review once I get to do 20-25 cars and see if it follows through with Griot's claims!The only negative one might say is that it is pricier than regular car clay and some people will be turned off due to the price. Do NOT let that part fool you. I dropped the clay on the ground several times while doing some weekend detailing and claying and just washed it off and went back to work! Normally you would have to throw conventional clay in the trash so you dont risk scratching. NOT this clay! It also cuts down on time as it is easier to use and you still get the results you would expect.What a GREAT product. $20ish spent on it and the results are much higher than even I expected. Totally worth the money.Next time you need to clay a car, strongly consider buying this particular product and come back to this review and give me your take on this new type of claying!(In NO way was I given this product for free, I paid the retail price and NO I am not affiliated in any way with Griot's) Griot's can send me a few of these if they want now if they have someone reviewing posts here on Amazon. LOL) My only "wait and see" for this product is if it really does do 20-25 cars.I wont hold my breath on that one though!But back to topic....I would give this 6 stars if I was able to! I literally NEVER write reviews of products I buy on Amazon, whether good or bad the item is. So this synthetic clay by Griot's is truly some "next level" type of claying that is extremely effective.

This worked great. Definitely recommended.

This synthetic clay pad is everything you need to remove contamination from your paint. I had some over spray on my roof and down the sides of my car, This made quick work in removing it and leaving my paint smooth again. No need for clay bars that degrade and need replaced after each use. This makes claying your car easy and quick, highly recommended.

Works well for paint correction on a repeat. If it’s an older car and it’s the first time I’ve done a full paint correction-regular detailing clay is better and leaves a brighter and smoother finish. This is much quicker and easier to use though.

I used it on a new car It seemed to do the job Rather handy Good for harry homeowner

I used this from time to time after I wash and I see a spot that I otherwise would use a clay bar to remove. I can grab this and quickly remove some tar or bug with it.

Easy to use. Didn’t fall apart. No problems. Used with Speed Shine.

I bought a bunch and they do the job well as far as I can tell I think better value then some fancy puddy.
