I was getting my clay from Detailplus, but they changed their price from $50 for 2.5 lbs to $75, so I`m just looking for anything cheaper. If anyone knows where I can get my clay cheaper than that, I`d appreciate it.

Not a bad deal..Do you know if it is like Magic Clay fine or Med? I only ask since i get MC (either type) for $20; 200 gram bar.

Wolfgnag is on sale for $15 at AG now, 6 oz, that`s pretty good.

Looks like detailplus is still the best deal, 2.5lbs is 10 4 oz bars, the only bar that comes close in price looks to be the ToL bar that Thomas pointed out. I`ll try it out next time I order from ToL and see if I like it, otherwise I`m sticking with detailplus.
Thanks.

But it`s probably the worst clay I`ve ever used! It tends to crumble rather than knead.
George, you`ll probably have to wait for a sale for better deals elsewhere - the Autopia store had a great sale going...think it came to $7 per bar. But anymore, quality is much more important than price - cheap clay that falls apart, sticks to your fingers, and marrs is worthless. Given the quality factor, Opti-Clay used to be the best "value", but now that it is no longer available, I think the best deal is two 4-star bars for $18.99 on Autopia.

the ebay bars are worthless....they are like a light duty bar that when gets hot, gets sticky and sticks to your fingers....it took me about 1.5 hours to get 1/2 way around a car the other day (car was 4 years old and never polished, clayed, or waxed!) and I switched to the autopia-carcare.com block clay and now its my go to clay...only took 45 minutes to get around the rest of the car with little to no marring....so my vote is the block clay on this site!!!! its grey in color
