I've been very happy with this kit. Works very well.
Pinnacle’s Ultra Poly Clay is the single finest clay composition available today. (http://www.autogeek.net/piulpoclkit.html)

I use Wolfgang, Mother's and Meguiars. One doesn't really outperform the other so it's always a purchase based on price. Check your local auto store and wallyworld as they will sometimes have better deals.

That said, I'll almost always get clay lube in bulk from AG around sale time. DP Rinseless Wash & Gloss concentate and ONR are good bangs for the buck and are multipurpose.

i love the mothers lube, i spray that on the surface once and then spray a little water on it, saves me alot of lube that way, when i feel the need i spray the mothers qd again

Meg's last touch is great for clay lube. The gallon is 19.99 and it dilutes 1:1 so you can get 8 32oz bottles of clay lube out of it.

Pick up some ONR(Optimum No Rinse). The product can be used as clay lube, rinseless wash, QD and added to your regular car wash solution. It comes in 16oz, 32oz, and 128oz.

Hi Claude,

You can buy ready made clay lube or make your own have have lots of uses for the rest of a product Like Optimum No Rinse...

From their web page.

Here’s how it works:

Add 1 ounce of No Rinse Wash & Shine to 2 gallons of water to make an excellent no rinse car wash. Soak a microfiber towel in the solution and wash your vehicle with the wet towel. Dry each section with another microfiber towel. There’s no need to rinse! The lubricants and substantive polymers in the formula will protect your vehicle from abrasion as it safely cleans all vehicle surfaces. The polymers encapsulate dirt and cause it to drop to the bottom of the bucket. No Rinse Wash & Shine actually cleans the wash water as it cleans your vehicle! And it leaves your vehicle super slick, like it was just waxed!


Add 1 ounce to wash water made with your regular car wash. No Rinse Wash & Shine’s advanced polymers and lubricants offer more surface protection and slickness than ordinary car soap alone. It acts as a water softener and conditioner to improve the quality of the water that touches your vehicle to provide the ultimate safe wash.


Add 2 ounces of No Rinse Wash & Shine to a gallon of water to make a super-slick clay bar lubricant. Wet the surface of your vehicle to provide a slippery protective layer beneath Opti-clay. After you’ve clayed each section, simply wipe it dry. This solution is as effective as any clay lubricant you can buy!


Add 8 ounces of No Rinse Wash & Shine to a gallon of water to make an excellent quick detailer. Fill up a spray bottle with this mixture and use it to clean and shine your vehicle, just as you would use a traditional detailer. The proprietary polymers bond to the paint surface to protect it from abrasion and micro-marring as you clean. The incredible formula leaves your vehicle extremely slick and glossy, like you just applied wax!


OR

Mix 1 ounce of your car wax in 25 or so ounces of water and keep it in a spray bottle...:props:

I've used Megs quick detailer, and the Mothers. Now I'm using ONR diluted with distilled water. They all work. The ONR is the cheaper way to go.

This is me also. Even though OP already made up their mind maybe someone else coming here will need this thread in the future.

LOVE the ONR dilluted 2oz to a GALLON of distilled water!!

-Since clay already has a synthetic-detergent in it...
Use of your car-wash shampoo, for a clay-lube, is another choice.

I started using Blakfire clay and I think it's really good stuff. I've used other clays and some are too fine to remove all the contaminates from the paint without spending a lot of time. Blackfire seems to be a nice balance of aggressiveness without being too aggressive and marring the paint.

I just picked up Blackfire clay lube but I haven used it yet. I normally use ONR or UWW+
