Nice video, thanks for posting.

I need to go to a body shop, and try and get a chunk of clay, I'am sick of paying 24$ for a matchbook size piece of clay.

The area I find that needs it most is the back bumper, soo much build-up on that.

I'm sick of paying 25$ for a small piece of clay.

I will be going to look around and go to a few wholesale suppliers this week and see if I can get a bulk amount of clay. Also all you need is the spray detailer. If I cant find it wholesale I'm going to see if I can buy some from a local bodyshop.
