Spec, I think that's incorrect. I'm pretty sure that UQD is a synthetic product, made to complement the NXT sealant. I've never read anything about it containing a carnauba component. UQD's professional equivalent is M135 "Synthetic Spray Detailer." Perhaps you are thinking of somebody else' quick detailer.

i use the mother's QD $5 at walmart and works really well for me. i have pinnacle brand claybar. i also apply gentle pressure until there is little or no resistance. i love the after claybar feel

btw how do you guys tell if claybar is "contaminated" ? because i just break off half the claybar and keep using it. after about 4-6 clays i move on to the other half

Thanks guys!!! For me I did what some of you suggested, broke off a small piece and gently rubbed it back and forth!

Yeah, breaking it into small pieces is definitely the way to go. I've dropped the whole thing on the ground - and had to throw it in the trash as a result - only one time. Not a mistake I plan to repeat!

i generally kneed the clay bar and if i start getting dirty parts on all sides ill stop using the of clay bar and move onto the next one. i generally break a bar into 1/5ths

basically when its fully discolored ill move to the next one.

Aaron, I see you've got a 2008 - congrats! I've never seen Chicane parked next to Silverstone...is it really any different?

It's a little bit darker, and had a lot more flake to it. And thanks! Wanna buy it?
