What clay bar is good, besides clay magic..

I found the meguiars quik clay for 9.99 and the mothers clay set for 18.99 at my local stores. Should I bother with them, or just order clay magic.

The Mother's clay worked well for me. Heard bad things about Meguiar's quick clay. If there's a Zaino distributor in your area, you can get two Zaino claybars for $18.

I got this from CMA, I liked the job it did.

The mother's kit is solid but I don't like the QD and bar is rather small. After trying the mother's kit I ordered the 3m bar which I think is a better value and a quality clay. It's rather hard to find though, ordered mine from motorhead.net

I have had pretty good success with the Mothers bar. I just picked up a McGuiars and I admit its alot smaller. Haven't tried it yet.

I found the MOTHERS clay to be too slippery for my tastes. The bar only lasted me 1 car because I kept dropping the little pieces of clay. I have heard a couple of others complain about this same thing, but maybe we're just klutzes. People have said the Clay magic is not as slippery and it is at a very comparable price. I plan to try it or the Zaino next.

Anyone: Is the Zaino clay slippery? Compare it to Clay Magic please?

Check out my Best Clay poll in the polls forum.

I agree with you about 3M. I've also used mothers. Mothers is good, but 3M is amazing. Very good clay. It's much stronger than mothers. I'll definately be using 3M again.

I'd be very careful sending credit card information to MotorHead. I went through the several steps to register then order which brought up a number of MotorHead screens. Everything looked secure until the final confirmation page which, as I was waiting for the MotorHead server to accept my order, I too late noticed the broken padlock indicating this particular screen wasn't secure - unfortunately, this screen had my complete credit card info for all those on the ether who might be interested!

puterbum, I have not tried the Zaino clay, but all others mentioned in this thread. I now just use the Clay Magic "blue" and it has just the right amount of grab. Please give it a try, well worth the price!

Cool, will do . I'll post a review afterwards, but unfortunately I can only compare it to the Mothers stuff. Hmm, maybe I could trade someone some of the CM stuff for some 3M or Z clay to try out....I gave out 3 details for Christmas that I have yet to do.

I've been very pleased with Griot's clay and the Zaino clay so far.
