What is the best clay?

The best i'm not sure of but i have good luck with the ClayMagic kit and you can pick it up at autozone, pepboys, ect... It's around $10.
 
One of the best "Kits" is the ome offered by our own owner of this site.



Here are the details: Autopia Clay Kit



The retail ones from Clay Magic are very good and you can even find the 200gram sized ones.

I have used Clay Magic, 3M, and Mothers clay they are all very good. I think the 3M and Clay Magic are the same bars, they look identical.



The next time I need clay I am going to get it at waxstation.com, they have a jar with 3 x 80grm bars of Mothers clay for $20.
 
Gosh, I'm betwixt and between on this one. I have used (and been happy with) Mother's clay bar and their Showtime Lube, the ClayMagic kit, and Autopia's Glide and Block. All have given me very good results. But the one I keep repurchasing is Autopia's. It just seems "smoother" and the lubricant is super-duper-slick. :up



Others correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've heard that 3M's clay seems a bit too agressive? Or am I remembering incorrectly??
 
Clay Magic blue for regular use and Clay Magic red or Meguiars Body Shop Professional Clay for heavy paint overspray.
 
Lynn,



I have the 3M bar and I can't tell the differance between it and the Clay Magic bar, both are not very agressive.
 
But, Stevet, when I'm using clay, I don't want aggressive! It's meant to be my gentlest, first step. In fact, I'm often using it over Zaino. And, of course, I'm not using it for heavy paint overspray, which some here have mentioned.
 
Lynn,



I understand what you are saying, I don't want too aggressive either.



You said that you had used the Clay Magic bar and it had given you very good results and that you heard the 3M bar was too aggressive. I have both the Clay Magic (blue) and 3M bar, IMHO they are the exact same bar. They look, feel ,and perform exactly the same. I sure I read that a few people here noticed the same thing.



I have used Mothers clay to and I find it to be even less aggressive than Clay Magic(blue) and 3M.
 
I've used Mother's and Clay Magic to good effect. The Clay MAgic is probably the better buy since I don't need the cleaner wax that comes with the Mother's kit.
 
I've used Clay Magic blue and Pinnicle Poly Clay, both with soap spray [dawn/distilled water] with sucess.
 
My vote goes for either the local Mother's claybar w/ Showtime or ordered online Autopia Clay kit... I would try ClayMagic, but I can't seem to find any at my local Walmarts for the past 4+ months...
 
I have tried a few clay bars and I think the one from griots garage is the best .The speed shine lubricant works great .The clay never seems to stick to the paint
