Yes, you can give your car to the car wash and have them to all the work, but it costs a lot and no one is going to do a better job that you on your own car. I want to protect my car against contamination. Then after that, I prefer to clay bar the car. Then after that's done, you need, you MUST wax your car either with carnauba wax or this sealant. To apply this product you need take the sponge provided, put the product on it, I like to do an X shape across and work parts of the car."
"I waxed all 3 of my auto's during the same weekend, 1 with Zaino's 1 with Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax and the 3rd with Ultimate wax. Keep in mind to really keep a cars finish protected a car should be waxed every 8 weeks or so, nothing lasts for 6 months or more."
"How I review: When I review a product said product automatically starts with four stars as I rarely will purchase anything below four stars. It will be rare that I would give a product one star since I buy mostly items that have a 4+ rating but in rare instances there may be a good reason that even a four star product gets a one star rating from me. It could be because of customer service issues from the company but whatever the case is I will clearly explain my reason for giving a product one star."
"Had it washed and then applied just the wax and the results are just as good if I had more time and gave it a good clay before this product the results would probably be even better."
"They say a little goes a long way, which is true, but if you want that deep rich magazine style finish, use a regular amount."
Removes embedded grains of metal, tree sap, airborne environmental deposits and paint overspray for "new" look.

Find Best Price at Amazon"It was the very first time my car had ever been clayed so it only made sense to me that it would take so long. Tips: ***EDIT: NOV 2016 Please Read. -I suggest using a bucket of water or a spray bottle with SLIGHTLY SOAPY water for lubrication. If you're water is too soapy the clay starts to melt, but yes, slightly soapy water does work- I've experimented a couple of different times. I still don't use the spray (I've now clayed about 6 different cars multiple times each), but find, as other suggested, soapy water to be a better fit. -Your car's body must be spotless before you clay it (wash the car but don't dry it) dry it after you clay it and rinse it. -you can clay the windows too! -Polish then wax your car after you have clayed it to seal out any debris and to bring out the best shine in the paint. The clarity and texture of the paint on my car was greatly improved after claying it :)- I don't think my paint could be clearer. ________________. **1st pic of 05' Mazda clayed only, 2nd pic of '05 Mazda clayed then polished, 3rd pic is a '08 Sebring clayed and waxed, and finally the 4th picture is of a Porsche 968 95' after being clayed, polished, and waxed."
"I also had little rust specs all over the back of the car from pulling a rusty trailer for years."
"I have a white Kia Optima, and the trunk door was very rough to the touch with lots of little dirt specs that seemed impossible to clean."
"Tree sap on my car had been there ever since I bought my lexus used 3 years ago. I broght it to a local detail shop, and they said it will cost $200 to remove all the tree sap. I tried to just set my mind to ignore all the rough surfaces on my car's body. When I found this item on Amazon, I watched their ad video, and bought it. Took about good 30min to shave all that gunky sticky(mine was almost permanently hardened)tree sap, Dried good and applied those quick liquid wax then buffed. Oh, remember, if you happened to drop the clay on the floor while you are working, just throw it away."
"The included bottle of bar lube is plenty to clay even a large, four door sedan."
"The only thing that did it was the clay bar system."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I've been a Meguiar's user for over 10 years, and this is a great starter kit for anyone that is interested in taking the time to detail their own car versus taking it to a car wash or giving to someone as a gift. Some people can't find the time or would rather take their vehicle through a car wash than spend a couple hours washing, waxing and detailing their car. So here's what you get: 16-ounce Gold Class wash shampoo and conditioner, 16-ounce Quik detailer, 16-ounce Quik interior detailer, 16-ounce cleaner wax liquid , 24-ounce Hot Rims all wheel cleaner, washing sponge, foam applicator, and Supreme Shine microfiber towel. 16-ounce Gold Class wash shampoo and conditioner: Just add a few capfuls to a bucket and it provides a sudsy and silky cleaner for your car that won't remove the wax that is on your car. Supreme Shine microfiber towel: This 16"x24" towel is best used to remove the wax you've applied to the car or for use with the Quick detailer. Again, don't use the same microfiber towel for the interior detailer as you do for the wax removal."
"My car is white, and people who own white cars know how difficult it is to take care of (besides a black car of course). Buy the Mequiars White Wax and wax your car with it AFTER you clay bar and you'll be shocked at the way your car looks..it will look EVEN BETTER than the day you bought it."
"(Less the bucket and water) Park your car in a shady place and hose it off to cool it down real good. Use the peanut sponge and the Gold Soap on the right of the picture (you only need a cap or two per gallon of water) and wash the car off really well. After you're good and clean hit the rims ONE AT A TIME with the purple (middle) bottle. The white tire foam should turn brown after a few seconds when it comes into contact with brake dust and dirt. I had bird poop on my car the next morning after I waxed it and I used a microfiber cloth and it wiped right away. The red spray bottle is also good for getting rid of water spots after it rains on your fresh wax job."
"A careful claying, followed by a buffing with super-fine polishing compound brought back a remarkable degree of shine to the car, making it entirely presentable in ordinary driving."
