Thanks to various health-related delays, I hadn't used the Chemical Guys clay block since I got it. Yesterday, after washing the new (to me) BMW, I went to work. The block allows me to cover a great deal more surface with less effort and time, and seems to produce just as smooth a surface as the traditional blue clay does. While working the hood I could hear the soft sound as the clay picked up contaminants. I did the trunk and hood, nose of the car, and tops of the front fenders, then applied Mothers Glaze and then Meguiar's Yellow Wax. A beautiful gloss resulted, though it's harder to see on gold paint than on a dark color. I'll finish the doors, fenders, and roof in the next week.
The block seems to be a winner. (And it, or the lube, smells something like birthday cake to me, so there's an extra point in its favor.)
