I’m sure some of you guys clay your cars at some points.....I was wondering if any of you have used this Speed Clay 2.0 from Mothers ?

If so what did you think of this product?

use mothers after the racing season each year, its seems to do a good job as my 10 year old rt paint looks better than when i got the car. Thata cuz of Zaino also.

I've used it. I mean its clay. They kind of all work the same to me. Nothing special about this one but it does work.

I have used it, and while it does do the same thing as clay (or the nanoskin products), I prefer my Simoniz clay to this particular gadget.

If my paint had already had all the bonded contaminants removed previously (last 12 months or so), then I wouldn't mind going the Mother's 2.0 route to keep the paint free of bonded contaminants or remove the occasional light dosage of tree sap/road paint. But if my paint had never been clayed/nano-skinned, I would not want to try to do the very first decontamination of it with the Mother's 2.0 device. It is just not aggressive enough for that big of a job...for me, anyway.

There is nothing 'wrong' with using it, but I believe it has its place in the detailer's tool chest, and it's place is as a light, non-aggressive clay tool to keep the occasional contamination from bonding to the paint.

I'm sorry my fat finger on a phone keypad pressed a dislike this post by member joked by accident I reversed it when he very nicely asked why. Please disregard if it comes up. And once again sorry.

I finally got around to giving the speed clay 2.0- an honest test, used it on my wife's Cadillac SUV

Pros:
-worlds faster then regular clay with same results
-comfortable grip keeps hand from getting tired, no "wore off my fingerprints" feeling when done

Cons:
-rigid design doesn't get in small areas or around sharp bends

Summary: Great product that is much easier then old fashioned clay but I still prefer the Chemical Guys mitt, it can get into any little crevice, around emblems, etc with ease which the speed clay simply cant. It is a great product if working with 2 people (one on speed clay doing large panels and 2nd person with mitt or traditional clay to get small areas)

As already mentioned I found the speed clay 2.0 for under $20 on amazon which is less then 1/2 the cost of the CG mitt so for that price it's a great piece to have in my already huge detailing supply arsenal

Side note - Cadillac SUV is black, did the speed clay, polish and then Gtechniq ceramic coating. Man does that paint looks good. Deep, rich color even after driving it in the rain.
