Just a quick question. What are the differences between the gray colored Sonus clay, and the green colored clay?
Thanks | |

The grey Sonus BLOCK clay is a medium duty clay, whereas the green Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine is the finest clay made.
We have decided to stop making Sonus BLOCK because sales of the Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine are 5:1 over BLOCK. The big difference is that Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine will not remove paint overspray or very heavy oxidation. Rather than have the confusion of two clay products, we decided to simply drop BLOCK and recommend a body shop grade clay when it is necessary.
Sonus BLOCK is on clearance for $12.95 for two 100 gram bars with a plastic container: Car Detailing Clay & Overspray Remover - Sonus Block Detailing Clay Bar
We have 25-30 units remaining.

On a side not, I have always liked the Block Clay, I will miss it.

I'm new so, I'm just now seeing that the Block clay was dropped. David mentioned a body shop grade clay, when something stronger is needed. Could you help a newbie out and recommend a good "body shop" grade clay.
Thanks. | |

Thanks. | It's easy to randomly recommend a clay but I find it best to find out a little more about what you are working on first as you always want to use the least aggressive first.
If you could give me a little more information regarding your surface and the shape it is in as well as the severity of the contamination, I would be more than happy to help recommend the appropriate clay for your situation.
