I went to Walmart a couple weeks ago and purchased a sealed box of the Mothers clay bars. Cost was $17 plus change. I got around to opening the box today and surprise, no clay bars, just the towels and spray. The box top was sealed but someone may have taken them out from the bottom. Doesn't look like it but I don't want to mess with it as I am going to return it. I did see on the Internet this is not the first time this has happened. But I think the bars were never in the box to start with. Merry Christmas to me, huh!
Bought a drill from HD and never took it out of the box for a month.When I finially got around to it the drill was not the one shown on the box .The service desk lady said "we don't take back used tools".She was right after looking at the tool it was used and rebuilt .I was screwed ,nothing I said mattered .
I emailed Mothers, they asked for pics of the box and receipt. I think they will mail the clay bars to me. We took it back to Walmart, they gave us a gift card for the purchase price and we got another but this time I broke the seal and checked inside to make sure the clay bars were in there, not just the spray and towels. Not sure if people are stealing, switching, or what but it's sad honest people have to pay for the mistakes with either money or time and effort returning the goods. May be a small task but I think it happens way too often. I can think of many times consumers have been screwed by either dishonest people or manufacturers.
I did body and paint for over 25 years, spent another 10 years paint and detail.. Clay bars were introduced to the auto body industry as a way of removing over-spray.
I tried the clay bars, for me they're to slow and hard to work with. If you don't use the spray bottle you can't move the bar at all. I just use my polisher.
try the Mothers website........I only use 3M or Blue Corral products. I don't like Mothers products, they like many other always live a residue on the finish.
When you wash a car don't use dish soap, use a car shampoo...
