Washing a car gives the appearance of a clean car, but under the surface there are millions of particles of dirt, industrial fallout, street grime, tar, etc. the list goes on. Unfortunately simple washing won't remove these things, but there's hope... there's clay. Clay acts as an "eraser" for your car's paint leaving a smooth, contaminant-free finish ready for waxing.

To find out if you car's paint is truly clean, take our simple test: After you've finished washing and drying your car (taking it to the automatic car wash doesn't count, because they remove everything... yes,even your clear coat), take a plastic bag, like one from the supermarket, put your hand into it then move your hand across the paint. No it's not a trick, there's really that much contamination still on your car :).
