Either one will work fine, but the Mother`s kit seems to get more raves. I wish they didn`t include the bottle of cleaner wax though, might help reduce the price by a few dollars.

I use to prefer the Mothers` clay bar over the Meguiar`s bar. However, the new Meguiar`s Quik Clay (white bar) is pretty nice. I don`t think you will go wrong with either. If you get the Meguiar`s kit, always save the bottle when you use the QD up. They throw a very fine mist of product and are great for QD`s, Spray & Wipe and other products.

With these kits, does the lube come with it? If not, what lube do I get?
I am very new to this stuff as you can tell

Lube comes with the kit, look for the clay magic it`s a few dollars cheaper and the bar is bigger than the mothers bar

Good luck,

Like Jaybs95 says, most kits come with the lube. I have tried the Mother`s kit and it works well..but..I just used the ClayMagic claybar yesterday and must say that it is great! If you can find it, I highly recommend it. Use the blue (fine grade) one. I think that is comparable to the one in the Mother`s kit.

Good Luck!!! Show us pictures when you are done!

I got my clay magic Blue (fine) at pep boys i believe it was 12 or 14 dollars. Great clay for the money. No complaints here.

Like Boss mentioned, I`m not sure you can go wrong with any of the three (mother`s, meguiar`s, or clay magic).

I`ve used all three and I`m not sure I really have a preference... The Meguiar`s bar might get a slight edge over the others just becuase I`ve used it longer (through a couple of reformulations) and more frequently.

this sounds like a dumb question but i have no idea ...

can you use a bar multiple times or not?

I reuse mine until they cant be cleaned anymore. If a piece gets too bad youll know. I like to wash mine well with some dish soap and try to get rid of the crap the claybar picks up. Each piece should give you several cars worth.

I`ve used both as well. IMO I like the Mothers. It`s a versitile kit and if you be patient, sometimes you can find them on clearance for about $9 or cheaper. I usually buy about 4 kits when I find them on sale. Both are great though!
