I`m really tierd of paying $15-17 or a piece of clay that comes with other products i don`t need. I have detailer and such to use with it. I gotta think a piece of clay smaller than a bar of soap cannot cost nearly as much to manufactur as it would seem judging by the price. So theres got to be a cheaper source. Anyone know where i can get clay much cheaper? If not, someone should figure out the recipe because you could sell them for 1/2 the cost that mothers and BM do and make a fortune !

Auto Zone, $10 or $11.00 bucks.

sonus green (fine grade) clay is only 8.00 a bar:
Sonus SFX Ultra-Fine Detailing Clay, 3 oz. Refill (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-3200-r.html)
Or you could get the 2 bar deal with a free bar a medium grade for 18.00, so 3 bars 18.99, not too bad:
Car Detailing Clay Bar - Sonus Ultra Fine Detail Clay (http://www.autopia-carcare.com/son-3200-2.html)

It used to be that the cheapest on a per ounce basis (without factoring in shipping costs) were Griot`s and the purple clay from TOL.

Only problem is, online the shipping tends to bring the cost close to just buying it locally at auto zone or such. By the way, all i`ve ever seen at AZ is blue magic for around $15 if i recall.
Go to AutoZone and pick up Clay Magic`s Clay Bar.

Buy it on ebay. Theres a guy selling 5 200 gram bars shipped for like 40 bucks. He also sells them in single bars, 50, and 200 bulk pricing. There is nothing wrong with it besides it doesn`t have a cult following like the botiqe clay, which is the same stuff . Buy it, you won`t regret it.

Wow, that does seem like a good deal...of course, I have so much clay from other "good deals", I could start my own store :p Shipping doesn`t seem too bad, either.

Carquest ussually carry`s just the bar if thats all you want.
Also check your local PBE stores.

As i said, the one near me doesn`t have that. And if you mean "blue magic" brand, then i HAVE found that at another AZ but it was more like $15 and had lube with it.

Im finding that hard to believe. I bet what you saw was clay magic and you seen the wrong price on it.
