I have. I thought it was fine. First time I used one though. Just keep it wet and don't drop it--works great.

I've Used the claybar kit here followed by the three step on my car and couldnt be happier. I always do it the hard way and apply the wax by hand. I've never have used any other wax actually. Post up pics when your done.

I also use the mothers clay bar. A good way to use the bar is to use clean car soap as the lube and not the showtime. Save the showtime for when your done waxing.

ive always been a Meguiars man. just personal prefferance. mothers clay is alright. their 3 step is basically the same as Megs 3 step. id consider it a beginner step in the detailing process. i used to use it, but moved onto Megs professional line, in the beige bottles. ive found their #26 hi-tech yellow wax is much easier and better then a cleaner wax. goes on/off easier, and doesnt dry white.
