If anyone is interested in purchasing Clay Magic I have many bars in stock ready to ship out. Clay Magic is the best out there folks and Auto Magic invented the clay business. We carry the larger 200 gram bar which is larger than the half size bar you will find at your local auto parts store.
Order yours by clicking the picture below:
And use coupon code: corvette10 at checkout to receive your 10% forum discount.
If you need a clay lubricant be sure to pick up a bottle of our Speed Glaze. Speed Glaze will keep the surface of your vehicle nice and slippery allowing the clay to hydroplane over pulling out all of the contaminants in your paint.

I can't imagine that there is any difference in them. In fact, I use them while washing my car with dawn detergent before waxing. The dawn detergent makes a great lubricant and saves the process of using the spray.

All clay is manufactured in Japan, all of it. AWC (Auto Magic) owns 7 patents on clay so no matter whos name is on it its all Auto Magic. It may be a different color but in the end Auto Magic owns the rights to the detailers clay market.
Years ago AWC actually sued all of the big names out there for selling their own lines of detailers clay. Big fines were imposed and all of the products were pulled off of the shelves at all of your local Auto Zones, Napas etc.
Just a little info from behind the scenes in the detail suppliers world.

I agree. Is there really a difference? I doubt it. I buy mothers cuz they sell at at Wally world. For lubricant - I mix car wash soap and water in a spray bottle.

For over the counter clay, I would use ClayMagic or Mother's. The ClayMagic kit can be had locally at Autozone for $12 and the Mother's is closer to $15 (at least down here). I find the Mother's kit (yellow clay) to actually remove contamination and pollution stains on arctic white better and quicker than the ClayMagic (blue clay). I usually get whichever is cheaper at the time though.

These are the 100 gram bars which are the half size.

a friend with a Hendricks SS came by a couple of years ago after claying his rear bumper that had some kind of strange sand paper feel too it..his clay bar did not remove it..and zaino's did. so even though all the clay is manufactured by one company, like tires, each vendor may have different performance specifications that they require for their clay bar.. the supplier then produces the products that meet those specifications...
