    It's a pretty good product in all honesty. Surf City makes some quality products, especially the professional line. I absolutely love the balanced suds car wash soap that they sell.

    What is nice about the clayzilla is the handle. It is very comfortable to use and does its job. I noticed that it is not an aggressive clay, so it took a few more passes, but got the job done.

    The biggest negative for me is you can't contour it to fit around special curves or tight spots. To do this, you have to remove the handle and use just the "pad", but that can sometimes be annoying as its one more thing you have to hold or set down when doing this step.


    If you have never Clayed before, I would recommend it because of the handle. You don't have to knead the product like some other clays that you use. If you already have a clay that you enjoy, it's probably not worth the investment.

    I bought this and tried it out on the wife's car. It did a really good job and made the paint pretty smooth. After I got done I waxed the car and it is so smooth and beautiful. I can't wait to take it to the truck this weekend. 10/10 would buy again.

    Have you guys tried it compared to standard clay? I used the Nanoskin Autoscrub and was not impressed even with the medium, the Meguiars clay I had picked up contaminants after i did quite a few passes with the Autoscrub.
