Which is your favorite Clay

ya its Victoria wax, the clay is similar to any other grey clay (which is the same with almost every company). I just use it becasue I pick it up when I pick up the wax. Really there is nothing "special" about it but it is a nice clay to work with
 
Does anybody know if the Meguiar's Professional yellow 7oz. bar is Erazer or not? I see there are a few places that still have that in stock.

No it's not....Erazor is out of business right now and the owner might be in jail ...it's all claymagic under different lables
 
I actually use Meg's Quik Clay. Available off the shelf, does a great job IMO. I may try other brands soon to compare.

Right, I "knew" about the litigation etc. between AWC and Kucala, but, seeing as how Meg's has 2 grades of clay now (blue (I think) and red), but before had 1 (yellow), I thought that maybe the yellow was the Erazer/Kucala clay.
 
The last clay I used a few weeks ago was Gray Ghost fine. The package was quite old (unopened) marked made in japan 2001. It did a fine job, however it was only around 40 degrees outside and it wasn't what you would call real easy to knead. Dunked in some hot water and it was good to go. Used some car wash soap/water as lube and it definitely cut through grime better than mothers yellow bar. It was on white paint, but it had a light tan film from years of neglect. The lube did not seem to have any ill effects on the gray stuff. Seems to be very durable.

I would love to hear other opinions on this stuff. Anyone else use it?
 
what is so tough about making a clay with the properties of the yellow erazer clay?

i mean there are 1,000 different polishes, sealants, waxes, etc, why is there only 1 clay now?

to the OP, I still have some yellow erazer clay from Adams Polishes that I use on my personal vehicles. I use Sonus block (aggressive) clay on customers/friends/families cars. My vehicles will never need an aggressive clay. Although, I cant recall the properties of the block clay off the top of my head, but I dont remember disliking it. I also have Sonus' green fine clay for my personal vehicles when my yellow stuff runs out. I havent used it yet though.

I am curious about that as well. Automagic must have had some great patent lawyers. The feel and texture between the AM and the Erazer clay is obvious, so I would think that the chemical make-up is different as well.

I never fully read why AM won the lawsuit, if someone has that could explain it, it would be appreciated.

From what I read it was not about the composition of the clay itself, but it was the patent on the application of clay on automobiles.

So does that mean if it was not in a "clay" form, but say a "putty" form ment, for the cleaning of say glass counter tops, that the product could be sold ??? :hmmm:

J ..I have a lot of the court papers as I was involved and was sent a subpoena to testify and as far as i can see it has to do with the use on vehicles ..the patent is 5,727,993 . It also says clay has been around since 1930 and it comes from Japan ...

I believe during all the discussions back then, that modeling clay is about as close as you get, but it's too harsh for paint finishes. The formulas according to my paperwork can include "conventional compounds comprising an elastomeric resin mixed with abrasives used to remove protrusions, projections, and/or strongly adhered foreign matter from vehicle surfaces" the rest is all :blabla:

How interesting. So were you called to testify? Which subpoenaed you? How many days were you present? I'm sure as you said a lot of it was :blabla: , but I've found that some of the legal wrangling can be interesting.

It was very boring and Automagic was persuing anyone who had contact with Erazer..only one afternoon and they got little to no useful information from me :D
In the words of Sargent Shultz " I see nothing , I know nothing " ;) :wow: :passout:
 
For those that are still looking for the 'good' yellow clay in the US... search around ;) and you may be surprised that you can still buy some. Well, it isn't as easy as you think... but I guess I can say that Stuf Surface Care Products changed hands last year and under that name you may find something you'll like :cool: :cool: Yes... it is the good clay too
