I used it on the front end of my car (got a package of it from Mothers) and it made it look really shiny, but it didn't do the thing I really wanted it to do : remove the white specks from old rock chips filled in with wax.
It seems to me the only other alternative I have to this is to repaint my front bumper, which is not something I'm planning on doing.
What else can I use this claybar for?

A claybar is for removing surface contaminants as well as take care of minor blemishes, such as the orange peel present on brand new paint jobs. For rock chips, only an application of paint is going to help remove them. Of course if there is wax in there a wax stripper coupled with small swabs and patience is going to remove it. If the whole piece is repainted, it will probably simply be sanded down and then the residual wax removed. Keep the claybar around... it is a handy detailing item.
What did you use to wash your car? The folks at Zaino recommend dishwashing liquid like Dawn because that strips any wax from the finish. Maybe that would also take the wax out of the chips.

Yes. Dawn dishwashing soap will remove old waxes without stripping off clearcoat. However, to remove zaino, you cannot use regular car wash soap or dawn, but rubbing alcohol.

Hello every one, ozzy here ive been looking at this page for weeks now finally joined. So my question is why is it that every turbo build forum just ends...
