Clay Magic? Mothers?

I love Griot`s clay bar. Of course I plan to try Autopia`s Glide Block and Waffle when I run out of Griot`s. However, up til now I`ve tried Pinnacle, Griot`s and Zaino clay bars. My personal vote is for Griot`s as of now.

I like Clay Magic, hold`s it form and it picks up quite a bit on one pass.

Another vote for Griot`s Clay. Nice consistency, nice size. Not too sticky like Clay Magic can be. I use their Fast Shine (I think it is called Speed Shine now) for the lube. Slick but not soapy with a nice clean smell.



(edit) Sorry I missed the part where you mentioned the price restriction. Griot`s is expensive (19.95)

I have only tried Mothers and have been very pleased. It works great using soapy water as the lubricant. I save their QD for bird bombs and other problems.



In my use, Mothers does not leave much, or any, residue behind. It is easy to manipulate and does a great job of getting out the imbedded contaminants in the paint. I just clayed after a long winter--really missed how buttery-smooth it leaves the paint. :p



As for cost--I first paid $19 for the Mothers kit at Pep Boys. Then someone here found that Walmart had for much less--think I paid $11-12 for the kit when I went to Walmart.

Clay Magic cos its only $10, they stock it at the Autozone 2 mins away and u get a free bottle of lube!

either one, although i got two mothers kits for 5.50 at walmart with the 16 oz showtime and little cleaner wax(like ill use it). I find this a better deal, however, the clay is somewhat harder to work with then clay magic, but still does a great job.
