David, honestly it was years ago I used the blue AM clay. But I have used the Sonüs grey and I prefere the "elastic clay". I have some blue and purple clay, but they are not from AM but I guess one of them is almost the same as AM blue clay. The reason I use the "elastic clay" is beacuse I get them cheaper then AM. | |

Maybe one day. The funny thing is that I hear that the Riccardo clay is made here in the US.

I normally I just use car wash solution or if I'm not washing the car I'll just grab a QD that is handy (usually Quik Shine). Guess I should start using an ONR mix instead of Quik Shine, it'd be cheaper and I usually keep some mixed up to pre-treat in a garden sprayer. | |

Mothers twice has fallen apart when used and I haven't tried Megs. I found a source still selling it a year ago and picked up a few bars for my rides. I'm glad I did too, and you better believe I hold it like my life depends on it. I'm pretty sure if a bar dropped I'd just out right ball like a 12 yr old girl lol.

I had some with the old Z18 that I had. Don't like the replacement Z18. Crumbled last time I tried to use it.
I agree. Hook a brotha up!
