The Mother's is a good choice for middle-of-the-road claying. It's not super-gentle like the Sonus green Ultra-Fine but it should still be gentle enough not to mar (ditto for the apparently identical Griot's clay). If you use them properly/gently they shouldn't mar normal paint (there are some stupid-soft clears out that that I simply dunno about, but these clays don't mar any of my vehicles when I use them).

I hear the ClayMagic Blue is safe but I haven't tried it.

But yeah, the clays that don't mar are sometimes too gentle for some cleanups, that's the catch-22.
