Product Description
You've heard about clay bars? Professional detailers, body shops and your car buddies all talk about how well they work. Now use the clay bar everbody wants. Created to remove the particulate debris and contaminants that washing and polishing can't. MOTHERS exclusive Paint Saving System will remove embedded grains of metal, tree sap, airborne environmental deposits and paint overspray. Better yet, MOTHERS Clay Bar isn't hazardous to your paint--its just firm enough to pick up the bad stuff, without being too aggressive. Use MOTHERS Clay Bar to git rid of paint fouling grime and pave the way for complete waxing. (To determine whether you should use the clar bar, rub your hand over the washed paint surface. If it is not perfectly smooth, you need the clay. Remember to keep the surface area wet with Showtime while using the clay bar, and follow all clay bar treatments with polish and wax).

 Wwww...wow!!! July 15, 2005

After reading numerous raving reviews here at Amazon.com and at several other sites, and learning that auto clay was safe for clear coat paints because it works through a non-abrasive process, I decided to give it a try -- and boy, was I glad I did!
My car was covered with a stubborn deposit of dirt and grime that simply would not come off with a car wash. It seemed that the dirt and grime had gotten lodged in the paint and wouldn't budge no matter how hard I tried washing the car. After every car wash, I would run my fingers through the paint and it would still feel gritty.
That was when I learned about Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar Paint Saving System Kit. The results were astounding! After using it, the paint no longer felt gritty but glassy-smooth. The paint was no longer dulled by contaminants and the car looked like it has a new coat of paint! I was immensely pleased with the results.
Unlike a lot of car polish or polishing compounds that use abrasion to strip away surface contaminants, auto clay simply picks up surface contaminants and locks them into the clay. The clay looks and feels exactly like plasticine (Play-doh®) and it is used along with the included "lubricant" spray (actually, an auto soap that provide lots of suds -- like Meguiar's Gold Class -- will work equally well.)
Mind you, car polish still has its place in paint restoration because claying will not remove scratches; only a car polish or a polishing compound (harsher) can do that. And remember, always follow the claying with an application of wax to shield your paint from new contaminants. Also, clay your car every so often and you will keep the paint looking like new!
I am giving Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar Paint Saving System Kit my highest recommendation. Go on, try it and see for yourself firsthand the difference it makes in your car paint. It's worth every penny and I'm sure you'll be glad you did!
Unbelievable Product: Mother's California Gold Clay Bar December 7, 2004

I first bought the Mother's Clay Bar system a year ago. It sat on the shelf until I tried it on my two year old Honda CR-V.
It took less than 45 minutes to treat and wax my whole car and the vehicle now looks better than when I bought it. You can actually hear those little rust causing impurities coming off the finish. Stop destroying your clear coat or settling for less than a perfectly smooth finish get this product! I do not own stock in, or work for, Mother's Car Care prducts.
An excellent product that I will recommend to everybody! March 31, 2008

After putting many off-road miles on my new SUV, it was time to get a good car wash. After passing through an automatic car wash and then going to ado-it-yourself place, my car was finally ready to be pampered with the clay system. This produced worked better than advertised and here is the process that I used to clean the car and bring it back to a showroom condition.
1. Wash the car and dry it with a microfiber towel.
2. Use the system as described on the package.
3. Use Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor to remove any of the scratches. You may need to repeat this several times.
4. Use Amorall plastic protector (or any other plastic protector) on door handles and other plastic cars to protect them from wax.
5. Wax the car.
This worked like a charm. My only problem is the size of the clay bar. I think it is too small and I would not mind buying a bigger clay bar. 10 out of 10. Mother's products are truly the best!
The only clay bar kit you need! June 2, 2007

I've used clay bar kits from four different manufacturers. All did the job fine (though some old Meguiar's clay bar caused some minor scratches in one car's paint). That said, this Mother's California Gold Clay Bar kit is a GREAT clay bar kit and it's very well priced.
As long as Mother's continues to make this kit I will continue to buy it.
Works great on overspray August 20, 2006

This product removed overspray in about two hours and saved me a ton of money. I was lucky to find out about this system and highly recommend it. It's easy to use, just wash and dry your car, and then in 2 feet blocks spray the lubricant and gently rub the clay bar on your car, wiping off excess lubricant and finishing with the wax included in the kit. My car looks like it did when it came off the lot! Couldn't be happier.
