Got to use the Recardo clay over the last few days. Very impressive .. it was still in the 40s F and I had no problem keeping it pliable. I have used the Mothers , Clay Magic and the Zaino clay and it seems to outperform them all . Stayed very tacky throughout. I used it with Megs Last Touch QD.



I was doing my own car so all that was needed was the yellow. I have a couple of containers of the blue too and haven't tried them.

yep, it's due to patent laws

IIRC they run out in a few years
 
I liked it better too (or at least when it was the Zaino clay based on the same formulation). The replacement Zaino clay was more prone to crumbling. The current version would likely do better when used with a quick detailer rather than car soap and water mix for lubrication.
 
It's Riccardo for anyone else looking at it, not Recardo, just a FYI.



And it is MUCH more pliable and stretchable, and doesn't crumble at all.
 
Does being more pliable and stretchable actually help in removal of the contaminants?



The only way I would want to improve on blue clay magic is if it were to remove more contaminants with less marring. Does this riccardo clay do that?



Im just wondering if the hype is justified or if its just wanted because its not sold here. I for one am guilty of buying into a lot of the hype but I just want to know if this hype is warranted.



So can someone explain to me how being more pliable and stretchable actually helps in contaminant removal?

the story goes: it does not marr the paint, yet works very well

there are tons of (old) threads try a search
 
This clay took out contaminants that Meguiars Blue didn't take out so I didn't have to bust out the Megs Red. Its significantly stronger than blue and doesn't marr paint like Red probably would. Also, I'm still on my 50g bar that I cut up and its been 4 cars. Still looks like new even though each car had heavy contaminants. My Megs Blue would be finished after the second car :(



Its a great clay and well worth the cost :)

You uh wouldnt happen to be coming south down into Washington anytime soon. I'm not too far from the border on the main highway corridor and I'd like to testdrive one of your claybars to see what the hype is about :) :LOLOL
 
Road trip! What's the address for e-shine. It's tough to Google Map "Riccardo Clay". Better yet, someone up north put the stuff on ebay already.

:tumblewee
 
I got my hands on some this winter (both yellow and blue), and I have to agree that it is a tremendous product. The texture and consistency is very nice, and does a great job of removing contaminants without marring.
