Clay Advice

[Ern]

I currently use clay magic as my clay. It costs 14.99 here at my local stores and i think its expensive. Does anyone sell 2 or 3 good clay bars in a pack for arond this price or $20.00?

[Jngrbrdman]

No. Locally all you are going to find is Mother`s, Meguiar`s, and Clay Magic. They all sell the same size bar for roughly the same price. At the AutoZone near me it is about $10 bucks for the clay bar and lube, so $15 seems a little steep. I`d shop around a little if I were you. Clay isn`t really that expensive when you consider how many cars you get out of a bar. I can usually get five or six cars out of the consumer bar off the shelf. Twice that when I buy the big bars online. I`d pay $15 if the price went up, but don`t tell Clay Magic that. Shhhhhhh! ;)

damn I wish. I`ve been paying about $25 and up for my clay. I tried the megs clay for half the cost and it`s easily twice as effective. So for now I`m sticking with Meg`s. But FWIW.... it if works and works good does the cost really matter? I much rather pay a little more for something that works the way i need it than save a buck and be stuck with something that is crap (my own personal case in point. except I spent more than I obviously needed, Point being make sure whatever it is that it works good then worry about cost)

Clay Magic certianly isn`t crap. Actually, most posts here and other places would hail Clay Magic as one of the better clays. Meguiar`s clay is the one with the poor reputation. Mother`s and Clay Magic seem to be the OTC favorites for the most part. However, if you want to try some really nifty clay then you should try Pinnacle`s Poly Clay. That stuff is amazing and very different from the normal stuff out there.

Oh ya dont get me wrong I love clay magic! Werent they the originals? I just thought maybe online I could buy a couple of bars or a 3 pack and just use my Meguiars #34 as my spray.

I always order Sonus. They might not be OTC, but for the price I don`t think they can be beat. They`re top shelf clay too.

I agree with Jngrbrdman..Clay magic is a very good clay....closest clay to the old good yellow clay..I have a good supply of the Erazar clay and also the clay magic...and they are very close...



the Meg`s clay is just bad..it smeared..crumbled....was worthless....

I am using their clay right now along with their detail spray as the lubricant.



I used the NXT detail spray with the clay when I ran out of the Griot`s detail spray at it was okay, but didn`t seem to do a great job.



Overall I like the Griot`s stuff, but I haven`t tried other brands so I can`t really comment on them.
