It's basically a bar of clay, you can use this to remove tar, impurities in the paint, and other things that get "stuck" in the clear coat. It takes hours to claybar a car, but the results are absolutely amazing.

Ha, we did the same thing at our body shop. The customers would walk in and look at us like we were crazy, untill we showed them what we were doing. we got so many people hooked on pam, it was funny to see we werent the only shop doing that

Any suggestions?

When your sanding you need to first clean with a solvent that has a slow evap, then sand THEN again clean the surface with a fresh towel+solvent.... Go to your local auto paint store and ask for it, also useing a scotch brite black pad would help because if your useing sand paper your grinding stuff into the plastic

i use turtle wax ice total interior care on everything and have no prob. with it
