Best Clay Option

[LEDetailing]

I had good luck with Meguiar’s fine clay bar kit until the last bar I got. The clay was a very porous/airy, prior to that the fine clay bars were very dense and IMO good quality.

I love my Nanoskin towel. As the above comments state the Nanoskin products work very well but most important they work quicker as well.

I still like the ability to see the contamination in the clay, but on the daily driver’s the Nanoskin product is just to easy.

Has anyone tried the Griots clay alternatives? Any other opinions on best clay lube and what is least likely to marr the paint?

I have the Griot's Brilliant Finish synthetic clay. Sadly, I bought it on sale directly from GG right after my last full detail. So, I have yet to try it.

That being said, if it works anywhere near as well as every other Griot's product I have tried, I'm sure I'll be very happy with it.

As far as clay lube, you can buy it, make your own with rinseless products, or use a good wash product. All work well. Just use it as directed, and use plenty. Don't skimp.

I have used Griot's clay and it worked very well, but went to Nanoskin only for the ease and quickness.

onr diluted..makes a ton of clay lube for pennies cost..

detailer spray is expensive given how much you use during a decon rub (clay/nanoskin)

I have heard ONR is s great all around product especially for clay lube.

If it's not bad, you could just use a chemical decon product like Iron X until you have the equipment to polish after claying.
