They last longer than clay making them cheaper in the long run.

Be careful using clay or products that do the same job as clay on your car, the paint is soft and black will show marring easily.
TY Gale i too will be looking into that

yea-i was kinda looking forward to that until mr. Gale "emlightened" us
