   This kit is awesome! It includes everything you’ll need to clay-bar your car. The cloth is very soft and the lubricant is also nice, although you have to be generous. I also like that it comes with containers for the clay bars, so that you can preserve them for longer. I had never used a clay bar before and this kit felt like a good way to start. And now that I’ve done it, I think this will become a new seasonal tradition, as my paint has never looked this good! Combining this with a iron particle remover makes it smoother than how it was when brand new! However I would suggest polishing/buffing afterwards, because clay bars can create more swirl marks when improperly used. So if it’s your first time, make sure to be prepared. And always finish with a coating! (Wax or ceramic) Overall I like this kit a lot, it’s very complete and I’d recommend it!

   The set comes with mate magic shield lubricant, 3 clay bars and a towel. Using a clay bar is a great way to remove contaminants from your car paintwork and you can get a good amount of cleaning done with this kit. There is a heavy, medium and light bar for different surfaces. Will be great to bring out the paintwork!

   This is the third Clay bar kit I’ve used. Compared to others, I like it the best. For around the same price, the other kits I purchased from well known detailing brands only included a single clay bar with a bottle of spray and a microfiber towel. This one includes the same thing plus an additional two clay bars. Not just that.. but the three clay bars included provide you with everything needed should your detailing project require anything from typical and lighter contamination all the way to heavy contamination.. again for the same price. The product works well and is easy to use. Anther thing I found beneficial is that the individual clay bars come in reusable plastic containers that snap shut. Inside of each container the bar itself is wrapped in plastic packaging. I find this a great addition as I had issues with storing the clay from the other brands I tried that ranged from sticking to the container I tried to reuse to simply offering no place to store the clay product period. The issue with this is that, like often recommended, I don’t waste an entire Clay bar on a single use and prefer to cut a piece from it which I use until it cannot be folded to reveal a fresh surface for use any further. That being said, I need a way to store these pieces until I get the use out of them. Leaving then any old place will ruin them as they would pick up any residues they are left in and trying plastic bags ended up with portions of clay becoming stuck to the bag. Offering reusable containers is a huge plus for those who want to be smart and use their products sparingly rather than being wasteful. All in all you get more out of your money with this kit and the nice storage containers I’ve already praised.

   Full disclaimer here, I haven’t tested this on a car yet, as it’s too cold outside to use (the cold makes it sort of unworkable), however I have tested this on an Olympic recurve bow (that has a similar paint job to a car). It wasn’t very dirty, and had nearly nothing embedded in the paint, but it did show me get a feel for how well the clay bars worked. I’m also not super proficient in cars, and don’t really know how to use a clay bar “properly”, and this is probably my 3-4 time using a clay bar. Just as a note, I tried the complete kit, rather than the triple clay bar pack. So then, what did I think about the kit? I think it works well, and is really easy to use. Well, as easy as any other clay bar I’ve used, and cleans up the surface pretty nicely. It seems to bring out a nice shine, and everything included in the kit So here’s some things I liked about it: -There’s a light medium and heavy clay bar -Seems to bring out a nice shine -Easy to use -Everything for just clay baring is included -The clay bars have protective cases -Each bar is around 100g -The clay glides over the surface pretty nicely with the included lubricant And here’s some things I don’t like about it: -The cloth that’s included is pretty thin, and doesn’t feel all that great -The clay’s working temperature seems to be a little higher (meaning it may need to be a little warmer than other clay bars) I guess the only thing I don’t really like is the cloth, which does seem to be a little on the lighter side. It is super soft, but it just doesn’t exude “premium quality” like one you may just buy on it’s own. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker, it’s still just a cloth after all, but I think I would’ve liked more clay, rather than a cheap cloth. At $40, I think it’s a decent starter kit, and very versatile. What I mean by this is it will work with any paint job, because you have all the weights of clay included. However, if you regularly clay bar your car, I don’t think this is the best value you can get, as on Amazon you can get 3 of the same bar for around $14 (+ $13 for the lubricant is $27 + tax), which is just a better deal than what you get here. That said though, if you’re unsure what will work with your cars paint, this is a good starting place, and I would recommend it.

   I’ve used the Mothers clay bar kit before, but this time I decided to try something different. This clay bar kit includes more clay bars (3 vs 2) than the Mothers kit at a lower price. I also like that it includes a range from light to heavy clay for different levels of paint correction, while the Mothers kit just includes one general purpose clay. The luber is larger in volume so it should last longer and the microfiber cloth included is good quality. Overall, a good kit that I’m excited to use.

   Magic Shield has been knocking it out of the park with some awesome car detailing products. I loved both their graphene spray coating and their iron remover. This clay bar kit is no different. I assume those who are looking at clay bar kits already know what they are doing but for those who are new, a clay bar is essentially sticky playdoh that lets you gently and easily remove surface contaminants stuck to your car’s paint in a few swipes. As the clay is very tacky, you need to use it with some lubricant (typically quick detailer) so that it can glide back and forth on your paint while it starts grabbing pieces of contaminants off your car. What I love about this kit is that you get 3 different clay bars for different levels of cleaning. There’s a light clay bar for general removal of dust and dirt, a medium clay bar for deeper removal of stuff like brake dust, tree sap and tar, and a heavy duty clay bar for the most stubborn contaminants like industrial fallout and embedded grime. Each claybar are of high quality. There are also huge at 100g each. If you cut it up into smaller portions, each one should last you a few years. Speaking of which, dividing it into smaller sections is a trick I learned over the years. It not only makes the clay easier to mold but there is also less chance of dropping it on the ground because you are able to hold onto it better. Remember that once claybar falls onto the ground, it needs to be thrown out due to all the dirt and debris that will be stuck to it. In terms of value, it is simply unbeatable compared to other kits from Meguiar’s and Mothers. Those kits only come with two smaller clay bars (versus three in this kit) and the same amount of quick detailer. They also lack the variations that’s included with this kit. Another difference is the included microfiber towel that is bigger at 16″ x 16″ from those kits versus the 12″ x 12″ towel from this kit. That said, the one included here is much superior in quality and far softer. Overall, amazing clay bar kit from Magic Shield at a great price. Highly recommended!

   I learned about claying a car a few years ago and I do it to all my cars on an as-needed basis. This kit really helps remove the surface contaminants from the clear-coat and makes the paint smooth and ready to be waxed/polished. This is a good selection of grades of clay and the lubricant is very slippery (to prevent paint damage).

   My son normally takes care of my car, detailing it on a regular basis, he’s away for the next few months so I’m left on my own. When I saw the Magic Shield Clay Bar Kit I thought this would be a good fit for me. I spent about an hour reading the instructions and researching tips. I’m glad I took the time beforehand or I would have been using it on my headlights, which is a no no. I started with a clean car but I had a number of scratches/imperfections that I wanted to try it on. The small section that I used it on it looks great, it worked well. My older model black vehicle’s shine was restored (maybe not to its original glory but pretty close to it). However, it was time consuming with multiple steps and required a constant change of fresh microfiber towels. While I am impressed with the results, I find it time consuming. While a bit pricey it is a product that delivers results and because it is only required a couple of times a year, I think it is a good value. I’ll be leaving the rest of the car for my son to do when he gets back.

    This kit simply works as you can see on the video. Was skeptical and so was my spouse but he said alright there is this red spot that never went away on my dear car front side bumper, let’s give this a shot. It felt like doing an advert as we were both surprise of the easy and quick results. He had to do it, because no one touches his car. He used the medium clay and a good amount of product, perhaps less would have still worked fine. Inexperience? He was very gentle, which may not be noticeable in the video, so really nearly no pressure was applied and the embedded red mark went off along with other nearby debris. After which the clay was still clear, so would last to process a lot more. After some more research on using clay this way, I consider this set quite great as it come with 3 clay bar of different duty and a great amount of spray. The bottle having its own cap make it easy to store back to ensure it will not leak or evaporate. Meanwhile it also includes a wiping rag. Comparatively it is overall great.
