The following reviews of the Meguiars clay bar product describe what it does quite well:

Having used Meguiars Quik Clay Detailing Finish recently, I can confirm that it is easy to use and really does work.

Is it safe to use a clay-bar if you've got SupaGaurd or DiamondBrite applied, or will it remove the treatment you've just paid

on the box it says it wont remove swirl marks....does it?

I got the meguiars one too.. (detailing spray smells great btw) i'm sure it says on the box that it does not remove swirl marks.

Gives a great smooth finish on the paintwork and its suprising how much dirt the clay bar picks up from what seems like clean paintwork.

leaves a good finish ready to wax.. :)

i know!!! smells like the stuff u get at xmas!!! so noswirl marks removed then:(? i cant wait to try it tomorow

Cant really say as i didnt really have any bad swirl marks... but it leaves a great smooth finish and removes all tiny specs of tar and dead flies that you cant see straight away. The clay bar is really only for minor surface blemishes.

You can feel how rough some of the paintwork feels when you start and it great to leave it feeling nice and smooth.

I won't get rid of the swirl marks as it is not designed to do that.

read carfully the blurb that you have with teh DiamondBrite/Supaguard products, as it will tell you what you must do to maintain the finish and not invalidate your warranty if you have one.

You must use what they say to use on it an nothing else!

No polish and no Clay bars! Just their conserver, and you could use a pure wax on top if you so wish.
