I only used mine twice :( It had picked up specks of grit - i should have washed my car more thoroughly though!

If you used the whole bar of clay, it'd be worth getting some new clay. Next time you use it (twice a year should be fine) cut the bar into halves, that should keep it lasting longer. 5 times is the maximum for clay really.

I'd recommend some Sonus Green clay, it's much better than the Meguiar's clay. Available here.

You just need to keep folding it until you get a clean side, when you can't then you know it needs replacing 8)

Yeh definitely go for the Sonus green one.

I cut mine in half. and so far have used it twice.

The car was in pretty bad knick.

I won't be using it again. Will use the other half now.
