    The owner of the incredible M5 at the Chicago meet last year claimed that Griot's was much better than other clays.

    I dig mine from the bed of a local stream. The scratches that the smaller rocks make can generally be buffed out.

    If a SMALL claybar can't get a clear finish on your paint...then you need to microfine wetsand the paint then polish at 2500rpm.
    The size of the bar is only as good as your eye for detail . What you miss by eye or feel is your skill level.

    Default clay bar only for repaint

    I thought the clay bar was a good idea but was told it was onlt for repainted cars to knock off the high points of over spray. A factory paint job doesnt have any high points and should not be clay bared.

    It pulls contaminants out of the paint.
