Clay Sponge Pad Review

Recently I've being supplied by Kalex Car Detailing to test out a new clay sponge pad which just newly arrived in Malaysia's automotive care product.

The car used for this clay pad review is a Honda City. It was left aside and rarely used so it has lots of waterspot on the whole car.

The clay pad : Front

The clay pad : Back (Where it is attach to the strap)

The paint is inspected in this picture :Mainly waterspot and swirls

The tool used are as below : The clay pad & a quick detailer as a clay lube.

The clay pad is too adhesive to be used on paint directly so had to loosen it by claying the glass first. (Instruction by similiar clay pad, Autoscrub at http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/auto-detailing-101/53182-nanoskin-autoscrub.html )
So I did a test at the window to loosen its adhesive. Really strong adhesive in the beginning.

After loosening its adhesiveness its time to clay the paint with a movement using similiar to that of clay bar. The after result are as shown : Type 1 waterspot are removed by the clay pad

Now that we have seen the type 1 waterspot removed, now its time to test it with "Plastic test" to check if it has removed the contamination on the paint.

In the end, it passed the plastic test with a smooth drag, the surface feels really smooth. This shows that this clay pad can really decontaminate just like a clay bar. Plus from a 1 hour clay process, it only took me 30minutes to clay the whole car! Thats 1 time saver product which are important as the slogan goes "Time is money".

Conclusion : 
-This clay pad quicken the whole clay process by nearly half the time!
-Decontaminate just like a clay bar.
-More durable than a clay bar too! (Dropped it? Don't worry, just clean it with breeze water)
-Its adhesiveness of clay pad could handle 2 cars well.
-Only RM55/pad which is worth the cost for such benefit.
