the orginal? You do realize clay bars have been around for almost 100 years. Although didn't come to the US until the mid 80's or so. They've been popular in japan forever





also guys, there are only about 2 companies that make paint clay, they just distribute and everyone puts their label on it. So they are all identicle

Actually, it's not all the same...

They have different abrasive properties. (And, yes, if you use the right lube and care, it shouldn't scratch. Some of the “clay challenged” crowd think ALL clay will rip a car apart.)

The red stuff is pretty abrasive.

Also, some people have mentioned that the latest Zaino clay is different. I've got some I bought a year or two ago, and is really nice.

In the end, they're more similar than different and basically do the same job. However, I did get a block many years ago that went straight into the trash after doing some "marking" on some low area of my Bimmer.
