    Claybar is the most awesome thing in the world!! It's like a piece of clay that removes all the grain and sand and dirt from your car without damaging the paint, making it so smooth. It takes forever to remove everything though...took me a good half day to claybar my entire integra...it's gonna take even longer for my a4...-_-2

    Hey, my brother bought that Claybar. It's really good. We did his car today. Took us 3hrs! Then 2hrs to wax it. My hand is like about to fall off. It was worth the time tho. Plus my brother paid me to help him :D. It took out a lot of stuff off on the car...Especially the tar spots. Did you try the Meqair's spray on tire shine? That's really good too. No drips!

    Yeap, I have the Meguiar's tire shine thing. I use it every so often... not very often because I don't care for my rims.

    Glad you bought the claybar... it's awesome. Have to claybar my car this summer... not really looking forward to it though :(.

    As for removing scratches, why not just buy some touch up paint? There's this thing where you can blend the touch up paint with the rest of your car... it's called Langka. I have it, but I haven't used it yet... will try to use it this summer to remove scratches from somebody keying my car. Audi drivers all rave about it.

    Think you can only buy langka from their website, www.langka.com. I bought the complete set online for $40.

    I think Meguair came out with a similar product. It's probably cheaper too. I wonder if either one works. Let us know how it goes.
