    Ive done some searching on this forum and have found nothing comparing the two. Mostly I just see them being an alternatives to each other? What are some pro`s and con`s to each???? I personally am starting to feel using both would be the best.

    From what I`ve seen and read, clay and a decon kit would be complimentary. The decon kit is just a chemical cleaning where the clay is mechanically abrasive. Both have their stregths and weakness. If you decon before you clay, it will make your clay job easier and probably give a better surface prep that just either one alone. This is certainly dependent on both the original state of the paint and it`s level of contamination to start with, though.

    Yeah, I agree. Though I`ve only used the "other" decontamination system, I clay while the acidic step is dwelling, sorta "helps it along". If you try this, be careful to avoid marring as you won`t have the same lubrication that dedicated clay lube would provide.
