The clay bar only works at getting the paint smoother by removing surface contaminants. If you have paint oxidation or fine scratches, try Meguiar's paint cleaner.
I used this on my Isuzu Impulse, which had red paint that was very faded-looking and dull from severely oxidized paint. After using the paint cleaner, the difference was amazing. Deep color and shine had returned!
I used the clay bar on my 951 right after I got it. Afterward, the paint felt much smoother to the touch. Both the clay bar and the paint cleaner take a little elbow grease, but I love both products, and I think the extra work is definitely worth it.

For a 1 shot instant shine - dawn wash, clay bar, and Zymol works wonders - even the "cheap Zymol" from Wal-Mart. For deeper lustre and more time, the Zaino is tough to beat. Really first rate, and beats out carnuba wax.

Randy, That is a great web site also. Do they sell zaino products any other places than the web site.I have been using zymol auto wash,cleaner wax and detail wax enhancer and I have got great results.I really had to work on the paint , the owner before really let it go. But i'm always looking for something a little better, and from the site the zaino looks like it is definitely worth a try. thanks alot, again! NICK G.
