Clay bars are all the same. Difference is how much you get for how much. Check them closely. My issue is with the white residue. It's senseless to use anything that's not clear anymore, IMHO.

Thanks all for the tips. We've been using Meguires NXT and the Quick Detailer for quite a while. Just seems like the residue keeps coming back. Nice shine, and durable, but it is NOT friendly on the rubber trim and plastic. I want something either clear or black. No more white wax for me. Are all of the waxes recommended either clear or black?
The problem i've found with alot of those "scratch removers" is that they contain fillers which fill in the scratch instead of removing them. What happens is after a few washes you'll notice the scratches reappear. For this reason I choose to put a little more effort into it and polish the scratches away. Yes, it takes longer to do so, but the results I get are worth it.
Here's an example of my corrrective work

I'm telling you bro, S100 is the shiznit! It's not clear but you'd never know when you're removing it.
For those situations, Turtle Wax ICE is useful.

If you know what you are doing, a little wet sanding and buffing goes a long way. My Fiance just got a 1995 Ferrari 348 Spider to detail cause the guy who owns it wants to sell it.

Thank you. It took me two whole days to get the results you see but when I presented it to the owner, his reaction was well worth it.
