Like many others, I received my part of the group buy of the Samurai starter kit. Certainly very impressed initially but have a few questions.
1. The instructions talk about several different polishing cloths. My kit came with a white, a brown and a light blue terry towel. It also came with a fabric covered sponge (presumably for paint cleanser). There is also a circular wax applicator. I didn't find the Micro-tex cloth mentioned - did anyone get this?
2. I used nearly two thirds of the bottle of cleanser (supposedly enough for 4 applications). Have I used it incorrectly or did others require this amount.
3. How should you wash the car after it has been waxed? Will the shampoo included leave the wax intact or should I just wash with clean water?
4. How do get the Clay bar? I have lots of superficial scratches to remove.
5. Did anyone else get the Water blade?

DJB,
I think the cloth in question is of a much higher density and comes in a plastic bag. You not got this?
I think you used to much cleanser and not enough elbow power?
The shampoo that comes with the kit will not take the Wax off
I think the cleanser is for removing scratches, I don't think the clay bar will....
Apparently these are on back order as not enough turned up...
Hopefully Mark can reply more comprehensively....

Just looking at my kit in preparation 4 giving it a try this weekend & i agree it wood seem the cloth in question comes in a sealable bag & is in my case at least pink
Yes i also wish i had gone for the clay bar although i'm hoping the general waxing process may alleviate many of the scratches

A clay bar will exfoliate microscopic contaminants,brake dust,road tar,bug residue, tree sap etc from the paint and leave it feeling silky smooth.
It is not a polish or cutting compound and therefore will not really have any impact on scratches. Use the cleanse for that.

Don't be afraid to 'phone Mark & ask these questions. I did & he talked through the whole process.
I didn't get the microtex towel or the aquablade either.
Mark sent me the towell the day I rang & told him. The aquablade will be sent when available.
P.S. the microtex towell I got is pink & in a sealable plastic bag.
