Default Clay bar kit

Anyone ever use those clay bar kits said to remove paint contamination?
I got one last week and spent pretty much all Saturday and the results were positively awesome! I had a lot of little specks from road grime, grease, dirt and crap stuck to the paint.
Now it looks great and is very smooth and slick looking.
and yes I KNOW its a truck and needs to be treated like one, but it is also an expensive truck.

I love when folks say that crap. My answer is always the same, "Do you friggin pay for it? Didn't think so. So don't question how I like my truck."

I like to work it.........I also like it to look good. Nothing worse than driving a $40K+ truck that looks like a junker.

I used one on an old blazer I had, it was almost 10 years old at the time and it looked and felt new after (the paint, not the truck).

Directions say that it will remove overspray, not sure about splatter.
I would not hesitate to try it.

I heard that WD-40 might take it off and it wont hurt the paint.

Totally agree guys I dunno why guys think that to have a truck you gotta abuse it and never wash it and turn it into a complete hunk of junk. Personally If you're gonna buy a 40k dollar plust truck why not take care of it that way you get the most outta it. I can't wait to get my CTD. I was out in my Dad's 1500 tonight stopped at the gas station and was walkin out the door and two rather fine looking ladies walked by pointed to it and said "wow those dodges are amazing wonder who owns it". I say yea it is nice hit the fob to unlock the doors and hop on in lol. Priceless just priceless. can't imagine the attention a 2500 CTD will draw

No dought, the clay bar works and it saves so much time. Been trying it on most everything, not so great on old fiberglass but works good on new gel coats. Takes water spots off windows, polished up some furniture, yes furniture, try it. Started running out of stuff so we polished up a bunch of 12oz miller cans. Just awesome...
