Not trying to jump all over White Rabbit here, but just so you all know - there is only one source for automotive clay. We all get it from the same place and pay a royalty to them for it. We can all specify size, color, abrasiveness, etc, but it all comes from the same place. Most consumer clay is very similar as far as how abrasive it is, but there are professional grades on the market as well. Meguiar's has two clay products in the pro line, one of which is so abrasive that it will actually haze paint and should only be used when you fully intend to machine polish after use. It's also designed for use on heavily contaminated paint, and is total overkill for the average consumer.

And, yes, I did use the term "abrasive" when describing clay. Clay doesn't "pick off" contaminants, it abrades them down and collects the particulates. That's why you use a lubricant with clay. Also, why I can't say this with 100% certainty, it sure makes sense: Turtle Wax Liquid Clay Bar was TW's attempt at coming up with an alternative to traditional clay in order to avoid paying royalties to that single clay source.

No offense taken guys. Each of us have had numerous years cleaning automobles, and each of us has a favorite brand. I normally do not believe everything I read, so I tried the Groit's Garage products which supposedly are used by LeMay Auto Collection and on Concourse Automobles costing many thousands of dollars more than our beloved PT Cruisers. I have found that they perform better than most, and was just answering Chrysler 1924s inquiry as to what each of us use.
I noticed that some of you were at PTs Take Flight. I just wish in the future we could be given name tags with our Log IN Names so we could find each other at the shows and chat in person.
