Steve Hole editor from Total Kit Car Magazine, reviews Smartwax products…

“As a bit of a ‘Mrs Brady old lady’ when it comes to polish and detailing, I collect car care products like some people collect stamps. My missus finds it all very strange but just as a man can’t have enough lists, he certainly can’t have enough polish as far as I’m concerned.

I have tried all the big brands, some of which are very good, some over-rated while the majority just don’t live up to the claims or the indeed the price tag.

My first experience of Samrtwax products was Rimwax, which I kind of used as a last resort, as I was fed up with continually cleaning the wheels on my car that continually got caked with road grime and brake dust. I spent a Sunday morning applying Rimwax, impressed by the way it polished off leaving a fine lustre while it also smelt like Bazooka Joe bubble gum, which is nice. Since then my wheels have stayed shiny for far longer than before and the dirt seems to fall off far easier when I wash the wheels…

Since then I’ve moved onto their other products and am completely blown away by them. I feel that I have found my personal holy grail as far as car detailing products are concerned.”

CLAYBLOCK® Safely and easily removes rail dust, water spots, tar, bugs, and paint overspray from automotive paint and glass surfaces BETTER THAN CLAY

POLI-FLEX Rubberized CLAYBLOCK® and Smartdetail® Cleans, purifies and smoothes surfaces & paint in seconds.

WHAT IS CLAYBLOCK®?

Quite possibly the best substitute for traditional hard to use products. Finally an alternative to detailing clay products that actually works better, easier, and more effectively. CLAYBLOCK® can be used on a lot more than painted surfaces, from glass to chrome and wheels, CLAYBLOCK® is awesome.

CLAYBLOCK®-a single  block can clean a full size vehicle 15-25 times, making it quite possibly the most economical paint cleaner system available on the market today.

CLAYBLOCK®-IS ALSO BACKED BY OUR Smartwax 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.  IF IT DOESN’T MEET AND EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS, SIMPLY RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND.

QUESTION & ANSWER:

I am afraid to change, why should I consider CLAYBLOCK®?

·         fast and easy way to safely and easily remove rail dust, water spots, tar, bugs, and paint overspray from automotive paint and glass surfaces

·         will not strip or remove wax or sealant protection

·         no harsh abrasives that scratch

·         no mess nothing to stick to your hand, no kneading required

·         1 bar will do 15-25 full size vehicles

·         easy to work with and clean up

HOW DOES IT WORK AND WHAT STEPS DO I NEED TO FOLLOW?

1. Wash vehicle very well to loosen surface dirt.  Getting the surface as clean as possible will reduce wear on the clay bar and extend the life of your bar by reducing the amount of contaminants that need to be lifted by CLAYBLOCK®

2. Mist a 2 x2 square foot area generously with Smartdetail/lube and spray down CLAYBLOCK® as well. . Hold CLAYBLOCK® against the surface and glide it back and forth.

3. CLAYBLOCK® may grab the surface initially. This grabbing indicates that the CLAYBLOCK® is encountering contamination so keep it very well lubed with smartdetail.. Continue rubbing gently until CLAYBLOCK® glides freely.

4. Occasionally check CLAYBLOCK® for heavy contaminants that may be stuck onto bar, you may want to spray Smartdetail/lube onto CLAYBLOCK® or rinse clayblock clean under water prior to every use or if dirty.

5. Using smartdetail occasionally spray surface down and wipe each section with a micro fibre towel, this process will wipe away contaminates and reduce friction and possible marring of surface through friction. 

6. Once you have CLAYBLOCK®ed the paint, YOU CAN CLAYBLOCK® THE WINDOWS AS WELL (Follow the same directions). This will reduce streaking when using your wipers and accelerate water runoff when it rains.  

7. Wash vehicle again once completed, this will ensure that all contaminants that were removed are safely washed off the surface where they can no longer do harm to the paint.
