    Best basic grade clay for the money?

    I am always trying to find good, basic clay for the best value. Anybody have any tips here? I already have the nanoskin sponge and like them, but like clay a bit better

    Re: Best basic grade clay for the money?

    I've always liked Meg's clay that comes in the kit that's sold in stores. It doesn't crumble, it picks-up contaminants, it doesn't smear, and seems to last.
    I've never tried PBMG clay though. However, I have Pinnacle poly clay in my basket and think I'll give it a try.

    These "clay kits" are my favorites:

    - Clay Magic's: Polymer Clay Bar; Professional Clay Bar & Lube

    - Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay Kit, meguiars detailing clay,

    - Griot's Garage Paint Cleaning Clay, Griots Detailing Clay Bar, Auto Detailing Clay, Griots Garage Clay Bar

    The clay magic works very well. You can buy the single bars as well locally.

    I've always been a fan of the Griots Garage clay. For the same price as many of the others, it is mich larger and does an excellent job. It is an 8oz clay (over 220 grams). For comparison sake, the Meguiars kit contains two 80 gram bars.

    With that said, I recently tried the Nanoskin Autoscrub sponge. I love it. I still have my Griots clay, though. Both are fantastic products.

    I pick up the Mothers kit when I need it from O'reillys or walmart.
    Is there a big difference between Mothers and Griots performance wise?

    Mothers clay kit is a great option, includes a MF, 2- 80 grams clay and the lube. Not bad for around $20
