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.

Lucky you!! It will take an act of congress (literally) for us to get it at all.

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

Re: Riccardo Clay

Blue clay magic definitely is some of the better clay available in the US. It's just that the yellow elastic clay is better (imo). It's a shame you can't get it in the US. Silly, really.

Re: Riccardo Clay

I love Riccardo clay. It was a shame I didn't listen to Chris sooner.

Re: Riccardo Clay

If I can get hold of some Riccardo yellow clay do I need to purchase the Riccardo Spray lube?

Sounds like I need a friend in Canada.

Works fine without it .. I'm using it right now with ONR mix

No, like Jesstzn said you don't need it. 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.

Re: Riccardo Clay

I prefer the elastic clay hands down, it kneads so much easier and it does feel more sticky then the clay magic from what I remember. 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.

Re: Riccardo Clay

Yeah, I'm curious how customs would be able to catch it. Especially if it didn't have a label.

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!

Re: Riccardo Clay

I fear that customs would think it looks like C4 and I would have the FBI at my door. But if its that good compared to clay magic.......then lets risk it.

Re: Riccardo Clay

Rather than buying it, would someone be willing to "trade" for it? PM if you are.
