This has been discussed before and the powers that be insist that automotive detailing clay is different than modeling or sealing clay. I've been doiing some chcking myself and so far I hhave found that there are differences. You can't always tell from an MSDS sheet, it won't tell you HOW something is made, just the safety details.

For fun I once tried some high end firm modeling clay on a test hood along with some automotive clay. The automotive clay was MUCH more agressive and worked a lot better. The modelling clay was very weak. I went back over the area I used the modeling clay on with the auto clay and it pulled more crud.

I'd stay stick with the real thing for now it's not really THAT expensive since it will last you a whole year!
