Anyone have experience with this clay

If I'm not mistaken...
Up until here recently (in the States) if you used a Clay...
you used AutoMagic's. That's "legally" used, I'll add.

That's an overly simplistic view of the situation. AutoMagic didn't make the clay, either, it came from their partner in Japan or who knows how many others that were licensed by AutoMagic to make clay for the US market.

The pictured clay has 3M markings on it and I wouldn't hesitate to use that (presuming it's not counterfeit).

Damned if I do; damned if I don't.

That's my understanding as well. They owned the US patent on Claybar.

It's absolutely true. It's also absolutely true that the patentholder doesn't have to sell anything, make anything, etc. There were at least two distinct manufacturers of clay selling under license under myriad names here in the US before the patent expired.

If you remember the ClayMagic boxes say right on them "clay bar made in Japan". AutoMagic never made any claybars themselves.
