I used Griots clay in the past, then tried the some I got at auto zone(cant remember the brand) Then tried the Zaino stuff when I started with the Z process. Just liked the Zaino stuf better

Most aare about the same except for Mothers. The mothers smears and gets slimy when using with a soap solution.

I prefer Clay magic based on price.

I've only tried the Mothers claybar at this point. I was hoping for opinions on what would be best to get next

.

I didn't have any problems with the Mothers clay, it's a fine choice but I just can't say it's better than stuff I haven't tried.

I have 2. My favorite for Store bought clay is the Clay Magic (Blue Bar, not Red). And my Favorite mail order clay is Zaino Z18.

I use Eagle One's clay bar and love it.

To all who have tried it...

What do you like about Clay Magic (blue)? Sounds like a favorite, I know it's been mentioned in the past.

What Guess said

To add to Guess' list, I like the consistency of Clay Magic, too . . . it's not as stiff as Z-18 (which can be a bit of a pain to knead and form, imo), but it's not so soft as to smear all over the place (ala Meguair's). <goldilocks>This one is juuuuuuust right.</goldilocks>

CM clay also forms to and sticks to your "claying" hand as you use it . . . I liked this, as there seemed to be less chance of dropping the bar. I could remove my hand from the paint and hold it horizontally, and the clay wouldn't fall off. Sticks to your hand, but not the paint, though; it never smeared or left residue.

One more plus, it worked quite well with Meg's Final Inspection (which is both relatively inexpensive and widely available) as lube.

Tort

True TORT it does stick to your hand. I have dropped a mothers but never the CM.

To add to my list:

Works well with soapy solutions, does not get mushy.
