I have not tried this yet personally to see if it works, but I've been told that some people have been using a Magic Eraser as either a replacement to a clay bar or a replacement to wet sanding paper ( I wonder what grit it would be equivalent to?). I would think that it would be too rough for a claybar replacement. They soak it in water and rub it on the surface. I'm not sure if they get any marring in the process. The salesperson who I've detailed her FX before, tried it on her front end to remove some fallout. She claims it worked quickly and left no marring. It's a white car so it would not show much anyway. Just curious to see peoples' thoughts on this.
Magic erasers are abrasive. Not a good substitute for a claybar. There is a sponge claybar made by hitec that works well. As for no marring. That's just bs, I does mar the paint.
I don't like that sponge clay bar. I was a tester before it came to market. Marred way too much. And for the Magic Eraser, no way I would use it on any type of paint unless it was to be repainted.
Have you seen what a magic eraser does to a painted wall? Sure, it takes out stains. Along with a nice layer of paint. I agree with ^^
I haven't used it on paint, but I'm guessing that it might be somewhat equivalent to 1500-2000 grit paper ... dunno
not quite that much, id say 2500-3000. i've used them to remove old painted on pinstriping with good results, surprisingly. ditto. ive done the same and it works great.
I've used it on white walls before with good results. I'm not defending the idea, just passing it on. I do agree it would mar. I am curious at what grit it would compare to. I don't know about the consistency of the grit though? I just ordered a big supply of sand paper so I'm good for a long time anyway. Just throwin the idea out there in case someone else had heard about it.
I have used it to remove some scuffs from hitting a traffic cone with a rental car.....worked great and I was not worried about marring the paint just cleaning up the damage so I wouldn't get charged.
