i know alot of you use clay bars just throw me some opinions...

I would't worry to much about what claybar you use. What ever you can get locally is fine. I use a zanio claybar but that's only becuase it came in the kit I bought.

Claybar is claybar for the most part.

Thats what I use. More than likely, it doesn't do as good of job as real claybar, but its really easy. It takes alot less time.

I use Meguire's, you get two smaller bars instead of one big one like most other's...

and BTW, not to say that the ICE liquid bar doesn't work, but I did a quarter panel with it, then hit it with a traditional bar, and there was a lot of resistance still, so while it's definitely worth using in comparison to time/energy, it isn't doing the same job.

Any of the clay bars you can get at the local autoparts store will work fine. Claymagic is the least expensive and works great.

**LETHALxLS1** · 10-10-2007, 02:56 PM

+1 for claymagic............

**ls1speedster** · 10-10-2007, 07:31 PM

mothers..
pay the money

**Z06-Goose** · 10-10-2007, 07:55 PM

For the money, definitely Clay Magic. I find it as good as some more expensive ones I've bought

did you get the kit wehre it came with the detail spray?

but great point how they have 2 bars for the kit

((((((( tip before clay baring))))) if they only include 1 bar, split the bar in half and use it in future claying, or is just a good way to insure if you drop it on the ground and small pebbels get on first clay bar

I like the Zaino or Adams claybar. Adams is my favorite though. Great products.

I bought the mothers claybar kit at walmart for $14

**vannatte** · 10-14-2007, 02:17 PM

I just bought and used Clay Magic and it was $11 at AutoZone. It worked great. It was cheaper by $7-$8 than all the rest because it doesn't come with any way or polish. That was fine with me because I used Zymbol.

I think thats how Ice liquid clay works best..
I use it as a body scrub and it does work well this way but not by itself as you would use a real clay "bar".

I have used mothers and meguiars and they both work well.

A claybar is a claybar IMO. You're not really gonna get a different result from different brands. I've used different brand claybars in the bast. Right now I have a container of Zaino claybars and they really don't any better or worse of a job then the other brands I've used.
