Does anyone know where to buy a claybar by itself w/o buying the entire detailing spray + claybar from claymagic, mother's etc.? I have no need for the spray and want a big lump of clay ~400gm bar, but buying 4 kits adds up quick.

 

Sonus Clay
They come in 100 gram bars

 

Zaino sells em too: Clay Bars

 

joe, do you know how many gm's are in the zaino bar?

 

the zaino bar is identical to the mothers clay


This is what I have

If its exactly the same, why pay $6 more for the Mothers?

 

Oh, just noticed that your link is to Meguiars...You didnt mean Meguiars did you?

 

because you get the spray w/ mothers (you can also walk into any store and buy the mothers kit, you have to pay stupid shipping w/ zaino). There are two different clay manufacturers (there was a lawsuit going on, it may be down to one) who distribute it and then these guys all put their label on them. However I believe meguiars makes their own clay now.

 

you got me joe

I personally like this specific meguiars clay a lot better then the zaino/mothers clay


stay away from the megs aggresive clay though

 

Yea, I saw the mothers pack Not a bad deal and you get the lube with it.

Do you usually use a "clay" specific lube? I recently tried using Z-7 car wash and water as a lube, but it didnt really work that good. Maybe my mix wasnt right, as the clay kept getting bogged down, ie it didnt glide as smooth as when I was using the clay magic lube. Maybe I should use Z-6 instead next time? What do you suggest?

 

It does look like the mothers is the same package as the Zaino. Its saying 80 grams...Small, but if your using it on a new car, like I was, I got about 3 uses out of one before it started to get a bit dingy.

 

the mothers bar and the zaino bar, are absolutely w/o a doubt identical





the meguiars kit is 200 grams

 

no need for clay specific lube. Some people use a car wash water mix. Some people just soap up the car and go at it.

I personally use Megs Final Inspection #34 (I believe that's the #) I have 2 gallons of it, for claying I dilute it 2:1 w/ water, cause it's SUPER slick



i'd try Z6 diluted w/ some water

 

I'll try the Z6 next time...Thanks

 

<----- Not me

 

I get clay from topoftheline.com, it's the cheapest I've found.

 

3M makes a 200 gram bar and is identical to Clay magic. I think I paid about $30 bucks for it. A little steep for 200 grams but I wanted to try it out.

 

I used to buy the Mother's "Economy Size" clay. Came w/3 80 gram bars for about $20. Is now discontinued I understand
