Recommendations for a coarser clay bar?

I just picked up a new car, and it's white. In preparation for paint sealant, I'm trying to remove all these tiny specks of what I believe to be tar.



I have a tub of griot's garage clay, a meguiar's off the shelf clay kit, and a pea-sized piece of leftover sonus gray clay from 2+ years ago.



I'm finding the griot's stuff is just too soft and too fine (it's 90 degrees in the garage), the meguiar's is harder but too fine. I tried this tiny piece of sonus clay I had left over, and it's doing a great job but I don't have enough to do the car.



The sonus stuff has been discontinued, and replaced with a milder blue version. I've been told this has since been replaced with an even milder green version, which doesn't help me.



Any suggestions for what brand of clay might be roughly equivalent to the old sonus gray?

iif its tar I wouldn't use clay. Stoners makes a great product called tarminator that can be found about every major auto parts store, advance, autozone, pepboys and such. While a clay bar will remove embeded contaminants. Mineriol spirits products work great for tar. Also keroscene and gasolene work well to but use that at your own discresion.
