Z71_Denali Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 IIRC, the patent on clay magic's clay bar expires today. Does Adams have plans for an American made one??? GroverKi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Nope... you heard incorrectly... they've still got it for awhile. ITW has good patent lawyers and a lot of money to keep it tied up for longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 At this point I have settled. Sunlight comes from the sun, and clay will come only from the clay people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 At this point I have settled. Sunlight comes from the sun, and clay will come only from the clay people. Ahh... There's ways around that...

Canadian friends are wonderful, especially the ones that drop packages off at your house while they're on their way to Florida for the winter...

dipolley Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Now I have an image of big, squishy, bipedal beings made of clay in a factory packaging clay "bars". Don't ask where my imagination is for where the "clay" actually comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z71_Denali Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 ohh well!!! the current one works fine, i was just hoping the patent was done so we can get an American made one! i used mine this weekend to remove tire marks from my truck's front bumper. just my luck a car in front of me has a blowout on the highway! now i have to replace my hood. but luckily all that happened to the bumper was black rubber transfer which i got out in 5 minutes.

lowerc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I obviously don't know as much about detailing as you guys but what is so special about this particular clay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowerc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 What clay? Adams clay? Nah. The clay magic and the patent that is being discussed in this thread. I did a little more searching and see that Adams is made in Japan (did not know that). Clears things up a little. I'm assuming Adams clay is still as good or better but just not made in USA.

Z71_Denali Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Clay Magic is the sole manufacturer of clay bar sold in the United States. all other brands of clay sold here are made by them, because they own the patent on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug123 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah, the Germans make some nice stuff. Liking my Flex. Anything that saves me time polishing is good. Took me a while to move to the Flex - I dragged my feet, but in the end it has been worth it. Very smoooooth polishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner was flabbergasted when he came to pick it up. "It didn't even look this good when it was brand new." He even gave me a $10 tip, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feets31 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Can Adams Canada off their own clay? Then we just order from them. Of course the added shipping would probably make it a moot point in savings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonaJae Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 The auto magic patent has expired. I confirmed this today. Apparently it happened on 8/1/2013. Canadian outlets are now able to ship to the us. mc2hill, THE Mook and LFairbanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
