    Clay bar

    I saw a video saying all clay is created equal. Fine grade clay brand C is the same as fine grade brand B.

    Do you all subscribe to the line of thinking?

    Thanks

    I sure don't; OMMV.

    I didn't want to mess around with the generic clay (although I bought from AG) on my nice car.

    So I took the advice I got
    and bought a fine grade nanoskin

    Thanks

    I have read that the OTC clay bars are on the milder side, I use clay magic fine grade and I can confirm that it pulls contaminants quicker that the meguiars otc clay.

    Re: Clay bar

    I was told that the Griot's clay is more aggressive than the Megs sold at the big box retailers, so I thought I would give it a try. I'm working on a severe issue with paint. It is fallout from a powder coating business that is next door to a friend's shop. I'm using Griot's clay bar for the first time. Is this normal for the bar to leave behind this much residue on nitrile gloves? I have to work to peel it off of the gloves. Hind sight, I should have purchased one of the Griot's pads, but my local high end detail supply shop doesn't stock them.

    Re: Clay bar

    The OP asked a pretty clear question about clay bars. I'd like to hear answers to that question. I'm not interested in recommendations for Nanoskin or other synthetics - that's a different thread!
