Default purchasing claybars

Is there anywhere where I can purchase just claybars? I make up my own lubricant using Meguiars gold shampoo and water. Advance auto and the other auto supply stores sell only the kits. Thanks in advance,Frank

Is there a diffrence in clay bars? Does the color have anything to do with how abrasive the clay is? I'm ready to clay but a litte confused on what to get. Help!

we offer several different varieties but the coloring is not specific across all clays.

Ultra (light) --- Pinnacle Green
Normal --- Wolfgang or Four Star Grey
Aggressive --- Megs Deep Burgundy

our Ultra can be used more often as less abrasive, but most use the normal version 1 to 2 times annually.
