Poorboy's clay: reason it's not sold here @ AG?

[MisterShark]

I'm pondering making my first clay purchase sometime in the near future and noticed that Poorboy's clay is not among the prominent brands selection here at the AG store.

Any reason that this clay has not been selected as a stock item?




As a side question: I'm entirely new to using clay and my car is a new black 09 RAV4. I would appreciate suggestions on which brand would be safest and most 'user-friendly' for a n00b like me.

OP update edit: I ended up steering this thread into multiple clay-related questions beyond my initial query about Poorboys brand availability, so read on for topic mini-focuses such as members' brand preferences and a question about the 2 different grades. :)

OK, so my thread's primary query has been answered; let's divert attention to the secondary focus :)

I'd like to hear people's clay brand opinions and preferences, with preference testimony details to backup their choice(s).

My two favorites are not available here, so I'm not sure how useful/helpful my suggestion will be.

I use Riccardo Yellow (not available in the USA) and Zaino (Z-18). I like both because they are very pliable, and therefore very easy to use. Riccardo Yellow, in particular, is pretty much fool proof.

I am a huge fan of DP and Griots was taking care of the nasty stuff, for mild to medium work I would go with Pinnacle Ultra Poly. Just my $.02

I to use Riccardo and as the quote says FOOL proof.

So I fit the bill :)

Havent met a PBMA clay product I didnt like, I do however miss the old yellow Pinnacle Poly Clay. I hope to try the Poorboys version...

I used Wolfgang clay this weekend for the first time on a 5 year old 4Runner that had only gone through auto car washes. It took me almost 2 hours, but there was serious crap all over it.

I didn't have any problems at all. Biggest thing I found was to make sure to keep the surface cool (don't do it outside in the sun) and lubricated. Any residual clay will come off with the bar itself or with a MF towel. I followed it with WPPE, WDGPS3.0, and Fuzion.

The resuts were amazing. Wish I'd taken before pics. The claying wasn't hard at all, but well worth the time!

The good ol yellow clay, or the good blue stuff they make as well. I close second would be Griots clay.

Doesn't Griots use the AM clay?
