^^^I'd lose the Megs clay. It doesn't compare to the Griot's from my experience. You'll get better results with less effort.

I have 2 other clays in my arsenal right now.

Chemical guys medium and pinnacle speed clay.



The megs was due to trying to get the last use out of it and chunk it.



Thanks for the tip on gg's clay.

Car looks great. I agree with the GG clay.. You get 226gram of paint cleaning clay for $19.99 and it does a great job. I think this is one of the only things I use from griots now..

Last time I used my Megs clay, it left all kinds of residue and streaks on the car I was working on: http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/130574-some-fun-04-taurus.html. I immediately tossed it, and the Griot's clay cleaned that mess up and the rest of the car quickly and easily. I'm on the fence with a few of Griot's products like their Fine Hand Polish, Wheel Cleaner, Speed Shine, Spray Wax, and Best of Show Wax. They are excellent products that produce fantastic result, but I'm not quite convinced that their OTC equivalents don't produce equally impressive results. I am a big fan of Griot's Sealant. I've done 3 cars with it, and my bottle is about 75% full!!!
