Do you have a favorite brand of clay bar

Jayda · 04-21-2012, 07:21 PM

I'm getting ready to order some more clay. I have been using Blackfire Polyclay II. Seems to do the job well but I'm wondering if anyone has a brand of clay that they really like. I like to try new things! Planning on doing some detail work next weekend (today was spent fertilizing the yard and planting)!

I use Bilt hamber.

You just need water for lube and you can get a real soft version.

I also just today tried out the Meguiars microfiber DA detailer pads and compound after claying.

Worked very well and simple to use.

Anyone who's into detailing is going to have their favorite stuff so be prepared for dozens of suggestions. Bottom line is you're caring for your baby and that's what counts.

My local detailer is my favorite. I hate clean cars, I don't like running into blemishes or swirl marks.

I like the dude with the pony tail and the 70's T-Top Firebird with the screaming chicken on the hood.

I owned 2 Firebirds in the mid 60's it was quite a car. Both were red too no T-Top for me at that time.

I think it might be an egle rather then a chicken on his hood

No, Rolf, it's definitely a chicken. The famous Firebird Screaming Chicken.

We love the Zaino products.... Car wash detail, clay bar, etc. 😍
