Has anyone tried this product?

Was kind of curious as to if anyone has given this product a shot:

Ultima Elastrofoam Paint Cleaning System (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ult-3200-3322.html)

It seems like it has a LOT more versatility than the traditional clay bar. I'm not sure how many uses you get out of a clay bar, but i know if you drop it you can kiss that bar goodbye.

The meguiars/mothers kit costs around $15. So if you can really get 20+ uses out of this for $38..............................

hmmmmm dont know about that^ yeah if you drop the bar its no good, but then again you dont need much to clay an 8, i know that i dont use the WHOLE bar at once i just rip off a piece thatll fit in the palm of my hand.....i dont about using a foam piece to "clay" it off, just seems like more contaminants can build up on that piece than just a piece of clay that you can throw out and rip off a clean piece + clay vs. foam just seems like the clay would have less effort to get **** out as appose to putting some elbow grease to use that foam piece.

I was skeptical about the spray-on wax but that turned out great, so I guess i'll give this a shot. Ultima has exeeded my expectations so far.....

I use the liquid claybar from ICE and it works extremely good with very little effort and time.

that ice liquid claybar is a joke. i had never done real clay before that and once you do, youll realize that the ice product is absolute ****.
