    That's the one I got I hated it to ruff. It might not be bad on white but if it's a newer car or in good condition I'd get poly clay

    Yup that blue cheap clay that claims to be fine grade and the cg grey clay are the worst I've ever used. If u are doing a black Honda u should get something else. Even just get the miguiars clay at AutoZone if u are in a pinch

    It's a white car, and not new. It is my daughters road warrior that has a lot of hard highway miles from college.

    I got the blue stuff from Amazon as well, it came with a nice little plastic container with a sealed top. Plan on using it for glass only.

    Re: What’s less abrasive? Nanoskin or clay?

    Lots of lubrication is always a must no matter which media you choose. I prefer regular clay bar to the mitts and towels. I only use a mitt or towel on a relatively clean car. If its even mildly contaminated I will use clay.

    I've always wonder how long people would keep using their towels and mitts if the rubber surface was white instead of black. I bet the white surface would look so gnarly after a few cars, that people would stop using them a lot sooner.

    Only if you are going to polish after.

    Best rule of thumb is to be prepared to polish after you clay.
