    There is one vendor selling clay that supposedly is priced lower due to patent`s expiring.

    I have only used the SM Arnold version and it is absolutely the best and fastest way to clean a washed car body quickly and completely.

    The fact that its so much bigger and cleans so much more AND even better, you just need to rinse it off or dip it in a bucket of clean water and it is ready to go.

    I fold mine into 4 squares so I have 4 surfaces to use before I need to rinse it out and start over.

    SM Arnold makes a Fine and Medium Grade - I have only needed to use the Fine Grade and I love it.

    I still clay (and love Riccardo). That Nanoskin rubber is by far the most annoying thing ever, you can`t let it get warm once. Absolutely paint to manage.

    Ron .... eShine in Canada is now shipping Riccardo Clay to the USA.

    I`ve used the Nanoskin Autoscrub & Glide combination and it is a time saver. But I still like my Riccardo Yellow, and I`m not ready to throw it away just yet.

    If I do, its because its no very warm out and the sun doesn`t kill me. Most of the time, in a garage since I`ve washed and run the car in for some ONR lubrication + water spot prevention.

    I find the Nanoskin + Clay is the best combo for complete extra coverage.

    I like clay for regular contamination, but if we`re talking paint overspray - then out comes the Sam Arnold clay towel thingie.
