I like Meguirs also, but I haven't tried the clay bar yet. Be very careful that your car is very clean when you use the bar. Good luck!

Actually, they are not the exact same thing. They are both claybars, but have different compositions. The Meguiars claybar is a little more potent than the Mother's when it comes to removing contaminants, but leaves clay residue much easier than the Mother's bar. Save yourself a major headache and get the Mother's bar.

That was with 1 coat of Z5 which helps remove some swirls and fine sratches. Didnt even put on any Z2 which is the actual polish that makes it shine, looks wet, etc.

I used Meguires before, Zymbol, LiquidGlass stuff and others but Zaino works the best on black cars.

Those next to mine are my friends

'00 Mercedes Benz CLK430 Coupe
'00 Acura Integra Type R (mine)
'01 Ford Mustang GT

This is with the Mothers claybar kit. Paint is about 4 years old.
