Claying product from Griots...
Is this a good idea or a bad one? Anyone have experience with using this method?

I was gonna get that but quite a few detailing experts here (well the 'fest back then) told me not to... the clay bar is awesome though, but nobody liked the machine claying pad...

The clay holder pad is a waste of money. Got one, tried it out, and now it sits on the shelf. In fact, pay the shipping, and you can have mine. It's using valuable shelf space, but I just can't bring myself to toss it, given what I paid for it.
Three things that aren't good about it:

Thanks for the feedback. Since you mention it, I can understand the importance of tactile feedback.

That's a good idea to only use 25% or so of the clay and then discard it. I had some Griot's clay that I hadn't used for a year or so and it got real gooey to the point of it almost being unusable.

I'm curious about your gooey clay, though... That sounds really strange! I've never had that happen. I follow the instuctions on the jar, and store it with some Speedshine in the container. The stuff is not water soluable (as anyone who has ever tried to remove residue from their paint can attest!), and doesn't seem to be "speedshine soluable" either. I've never had mine go gooey on me -- quite the opposite... had a wrapped, unused bar dry out and get too hard. |

I have one of those too. It does the same thing Rkt's does. Sits on a shelf. You can have it.
