Just curious. And does this "claying" work on clear coat and non clear
coat
finishes? Is there a web link to this product?

I never heard of "minging" a car. Was that something done in those
old Flash Gordon serials? <g

I dunno the hows or whys of the stuff, but I've used it on both clear
coat and non-clear coat finishes with equally good results. I don't
know of a specific link to this stuff, but I've used the clay bars
from several different manufacturers. The last one I got was from
Mothers. They all seem to work about the same.

Claying does work. I too have used "Mothers", but have switched to the

products listed below, sold on the internet and their speciality store:
