    Exclamation Could someone please clarify the Clay Kit?

    I found that the product Smooth Surface Clay Kit is a bit confusing to me.The old Kit is used to come with 4oz Cleaner Wax (before 2011).

    According to Michael Stoops, Meguiar's updated the clay kit in 2011 to come with:
    2x80g of white clay
    16oz QD
    6oz UQW
    Supreme Shine MF towel (same as before)

    However I found that Autogeek, Amazon, and Meguiarsdirect.com (what the!?) are giving confusing information on this. They either show confusing photos or contents. For example, Meguiarsdirect says the kit come with a sample of Cleaner Wax. Walmart.com is showing the new pic and product description as 2011 New Product page on MOL.

    So can someone please explain what is actually going on with that kit?
    Either Meguiar's make a different kit for the same product code (which is unlikely),
    or they decided to change back to Cleaner Wax starting from 2012,
    or I think some online merchants messed up with the photos and description of the clay kit?

    The answer is very simple: some retailers still have the old kit in stock.
    On the new kit cover you'll see: Now with more clay 2 x 80g.

    The new kit has bigger clay pieces (two of 80g each) and A12 Cleaner Wax sample was replaced by 6 oz. Ultimate Quik Wax sample.

    Greg,

    Thanks for the answer. I tend to believe what Michael announced in 2011 New Products page is correct.
    However it is not that nice to see Meguiar'sdirect to have an error in product description and still showing the old pic...

    You're welcome.

    Definitely the new kit is a much better deal with those big clay pieces.

    Greg is 100% correct. Sorry for any confusion. We have already passed on the info to the appropriate people to have the image and description changed on the Meguiar's Direct site.
