If not mistaken, ACE carries the Mequairs brands which is probably the most premium and more expensive among all.I go to Eneos in One Utama to get the claybar and its only about RM25 per block. Its a small block, something like a 1/2" by 2" block but each time you clay your car, you probably only use like a quarter of that block. But it also depends on how dirty your car is. The first time i use it, i took almost half a block to clay the car and boy, the claybar couldn't get any dirtier. The brand is Soft99, from Japan.Lets talk briefly about claybar. What it does essentially is to remove very tiny and stubborn stains on your car. Say you have tar marks and you've tried every freaking tar/bug remover to no avail. You use the claybar and just rub it on the tar marks for a few minutes. The clay would use its slight abrasive nature to grind off a very very thin layer of the car paint body, which in turn removes the stains.Each time you clay your whole car, you will feel the car paint to be smoother than before. However, it must be remembered that everytime you clay the car, you should use polish/wax to re-protect the car body again. Remember, you're removing a thin layer of protection, thats why your car body is clean and smooth. So you have to polish and put a layer of wax again.When i started using claybar, i doubted the ability as i thought i overpaid for a fucking piece of plasticin. But when you use it, you'll realise how much difference it makes to your car. Trust me. Important is to throw away the block of clay everytime you use. It gets dirty and if you re-use a few times, you're actually putting more scratches on the paint as the old stains is stuck to the clay. Hope that helps!</blockquote>
