Never seen it by itself at Wal-Mart, Meijer, Pep Boys, AutoZone, or Advance Auto Parts. Imagine Joe Sixpack picking up a bar and going to town w/o a qd lube :eek:
Meguiar`s has clay in their professional line, maybe you can find that at a auto body supply store, or have it ordered for you. They say it`s a 200g bar and costs like $26.. The Clay Magic bar is 100g and sells for $10 on autopia-carcare and comes w/ QD..

Check you local Auto Paint supply store....They normally sell the Meguiars by itself......Well, they did, but that was before it was reformulated apparently, still worth a call......

I get 16.95 for 8 ounces. How do you get 30 for 22? Have you used this before or will there be a review?

Spoiled, maybe your right, I weighed it when i got it, im trying to remember if it was 5.5 oz or 15.5 oz....Now you got me thinking......Two yellow bricks in a white jar. You must be right, i will edit my previous reply......it was 22.00 including shipping....

Patrick, I was just wondering if you had found some code or something that was cutting you some slack. Send me a couple towels and all is forgotten!! ;)
