You should get them at the Automotive Paint shop. Brings the paint up like new

No its actually a piece of clay, kinda like a cake of soap.

You really need to make sure the car is clean before you start & use water when using it... a hose dribbling over the panel. You rub it back & forth over the panel, washing it off in a bucket to keep it clean.

I think you can get different grades/stiffness too, softer or hard.

If you buy one, definately ask the guy at the paint shop how to use it.

If all the paint is crap looking & not shiny any more, maybe the car needs a buff & polish.

The clay block doesnt really restore shine.

I'll second clay bar, then attack it with a cutting compound.
