play doh?

like the play doh i use with my kids at school to teach motor skills?

is this t.he same playdoh?

i'm not sure if it'll ruin his finish or not(assuming he's using a model car), since in essence they might be some what of the same product to the touch. but the mechanics behind them may be different.

tell him this. you wouldnt dig up clay from the soil and use that now would you?

or you wouldn't use a kitchen sponge to clean your car instead of a MEGS sponge would you?

they're both yellow.

Explain to him they are different and warn him. If he does it let me know the results

It would fall apart on him real quick, he wouldnt be able to get one door done.

Why would anyone think they are the same is my question. They dont look the same, they dont feel the same, they dont smell the same so why would anyone in sound mind think they are the same?

Ive seen people use a regular clay bar before at a car dealership. I wouldnt believe that play doh would remove any bonded contaminates though.

it would be fun though when i'm bored i could just stop and make a dinky car out of it. i like blue colour the best. but hate the smell afterwards when its all over you. but don't mind the smell when i'm playing with it.

I'll copy this thread and give it to him. so he can think by him self.. yap,that playdoh (kids loves it!) it's very oily.. it would glide just with water maybe hahaha.. if you want to know this playdoh,just enter "playdoh" as keyword in Google hehehe...

Play Doh doesn't have abrasives in it...

Re: Clay bar substitute??!!

Well i wouldnt say that, anything can be abbrasive.

How true...

But I meant the dedicated abrasive powder package which is suspended in the clay mass.
