Daiei, or if you can call Art in Aiea and go to his house to pick up the Zaino clay bar. Tried the one from Daiei once for my uncle's car, but I only used Zaino products on my car. Again... available locally if you call.

I use meguire's clay bar and detailing spray which can be bought at walmart. I know there's a lot of hard core zaino fans but for the premium cost it just isn't worth it to me since meguire's seems to work just fine.

Honestly, the Zaino clay bar is cheap... about $12 for 2 bars. The Zaino cleaning and protection products last a long time, so I find them a good value.

1) use alot of the lubricant spray thing
2) cut/rip your clay into smaller pieces so it is easier to handle/work with
3) don't drop the clay on the ground

After Rejuvenate, I use Mother's Clay Bar for a good surface clean. If you don't have the time, try the Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar. Most of these products can be bought at Walmart or sometimes they have a nice package at Sam's or Costco.

Anyone got Art's phone number & email address? I lost my contact information for him and I think it's about time to reload.

checkers has it too. ALSO you can go to partsamerica.com. HERE: http://www.partsamerica.com/productd...egoryCode=3302

The prices are some times cheaper than in store, you can buy it on line and pick it up in the nearest store. Thats how I buy most of my stuff from checkers. most of the time its 10% and you can get an additional 10% for military discount at most of the stores. They have any thing and every thing the store does. It will also tell you if its in stock and if not what the closeest store that has it.

See my long a$$ time surfing the net for deals to save money comes in handy now and then.

Sent you the information.

You can check out Matco in Aiea right in front of my shop (Progressive Auto Sounds) they have the original Clay Magic depends on the color on the car you might just start off with the blue clay bar and just use water to lube it instead of spray wax if you have heavy fall out water works better and removes fall out faster.....or we take appointments at Superior Mobile Detailing 479-0065 lol...... Or you can pick up product at Pak Shak from Ranney located at the old Titan Motorsports in sand island

claybars are something you want to do every now and then. you can tell if its time to claybar the car if after washing it while its still wet run your hand on the car. if you feel that it is rough then its time for the clay bar. soap down the car again and then clay it with the soap still on. the soap acts as a lubricant. if its still rough after clay baring then you need to use wax. if you really are looking to bring out shine use rejuvinator. its good stuff.

just some things i learned working at car dealership.

jyt808

just gotta be careful some rejuvinators are solvent based so they're not body shop safe......they work really well but it's safer to actually use a 1 or 2 step compound (buff) pending how bad the paint is and use a sealant after and 2 coats of wax the next day......
