Default I have tried Mothers, Meguiars and 3M - IMO the 3M is easily the best

Default Another vote for Claymagic. Pick it up at Autozone.

And a tip... don't work with the whole bar. Break pieces off and use them instead of the whole thing all at once. That way if you drop it you're not screwed and if the piece starts to get dirty just toss it in the trash and grab another.

Default Clay Magic is great, I'm trying 3M now because the container is better. FWIW, it feels the same as

Clay Magic.

Default I think CCS doesn't recommend clay at all (see Larry's article)...*Meguiar's

Default And the Audiworld detailing brain trust does not recommend Meguiars so YMMV
