| | Guest | 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. | |

Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: San Diego AIM:sdputerbum Posts: 1,616 | 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?

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 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!

Check out my Best Clay poll in the polls forum. | 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!

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.
