Guys,

Has anyone had any experience with the Clay Eraser Disc on their cars? This is a disc that fits to your DA polisher and works to replace a hand held clay bar. From what I can gather, the disc is meant to be a synthetic clay material that removes the crap as would any clay bar, but much faster. It seems to have voids in the disc that trap the material being removed which is washed away by the lube you spray on the surface.

They claim that it will do up to 50 vehicles before having to be retired.

The Australian agent for ChemicalGuys does not stock it and the US manufacturer/distributor does not ship to Aust so the only options seems to be to use a package forwarding facility in the US. Will probably give that a go however, was keen to know if anyone has used the products?

The clay discs come in three different grades which I presume is meant to deal with how bad your surface is and a backing pad. Disc are about $40 USD and backing pad about $10 USD.

If these things are any good, maybe a group buy would be sensible.

Cheers,

Gary

There is a Youtube vid that shows you how it works however, my IT dept fun police block Youtube so I can't pull that up now. A quick search on Clay Eraser Disc in Youtube will bring it up.

No. I have seen it and didnt like the idea of the machine use to clay your car.

I like the old school method, by hand to clay my car and I think its safer.

I would be interested if you go ahead with an order. I already have a freight forwarding account with shipit2 as well.

Edit; I hate clay barring as I have big monkey hands and have dropped and ruined more clay bars than I care to count so this is right up my tree.

I've used MyUS.com on many occasions including to order some of the Chemical Guys buckets with dirt grips. I find if there are special prices on the web site, you always get those too. I used MyUS.com mainly because a few US sites don't allow Australia credit cards.

I found that out the hard way with a $600 order, basically when I pressed the confirm button, it errored out, the nab showed the money taken out of my account and I had to wait 7 working days for the nab to refund it, as the US site's support people quite rightly said that they had no processed the order and it was at nab's end. The nab confirmed this after a few long wait's to talk to customer service agents.

Seems like it might scratch your paint? The clay gets pretty grabby sometimes when you haven't lubed it up enough. Guess you just gotta make sure you use plenty of the clay lube?

Make sure you report back if you get em!!
