Favorite brand of Clay

I go for 3 - 5 hours because I wash both cars once a week whether they need it or not. Sometimes they are just dusty but that doesn't matter. :D Sometimes more and sometimes less but I'd say 3 hours is about average for me. I spend 20 - 30 hours a week on other peoples' cars, however. Only in the months between April and November, though.
 
Talk about stress. Sometimes I say that I want to get a "beater" that I don't have to worry about. But my wife won't let me. She knows any beater will quickly become a show car and the cycle will start all over again! :eek:

This is what happened to the last beater:
 
I'm starting to get lazy. I now only detail maybe 2 or 3 hours a week. And this mostly consists of quick detailing and cleaning the rims every other day. In fact, I haven't even washed my car in two weeks and its a daily driver that sees the elements 24/7.
 
As I approach the big 50 my detailing time has decrease. Because I drive a company car to work my ultra-detailed car (Z28) spends most of it time in the garage and requires only minor detailing if any each week. The workhorse (LS400) which my wife drives requires the other 2.5 hrs/wk.

I am getting to old or lazy for black cars. :)
 
I think now that the warmer temps are starting to arrive I need to adjust my original time from 3-5 hrs to over 5. See what you guys have done to me. :xyxthumbs
 
On average 11 hours total for the Arnage & Continental. All the other cars are in the garage/showroom and barely get driven out - unless a customer wants to test drive one.
 
I have used Meguiars Clay, Clay Magic and Blackfire Poly Clay, and they all have their good characteristics, and some negatives. My favorite of the three is Clay Magic Blue, but was wondering what you all like and why?
 
Ive used claymagic blue, megs white, megs blue, and mothers.

claymagic blue is by far my favorite. Id be willing to try blackfire for the next time I need to get some clay though
 
I've tried only 2: Clay Magic Blue (favorite) and Meg's white (meh). Unless someone can show me that Sonus or some other brand is worth the $25-30 per bar, I'll stick with Clay Magic for $15-20 at Autozone (comes with clay lube)
 
I know that a lot of people love the Riccardo Yellow, but it is not available here in the US. The Griots Yellow looks similar to the Riccardo, and am curious if anyone has tried it.
