Meguiar's Clay

[mattgg11]

Someone posted a link on the "Good Buys" thread for a deal on the Meguire's Smooth Surface Clay kit from Amazon.com.



For $12, you get the kit, which includes 100 grams of clay.

Amazon.com: Meguiar's G1016 Smooth Surface Clay Kit: Automotive



However, Amazon also sells 200 grams of clay for only $14.

Amazon.com: Meguiar's C-2000 Professional Detailing Clay, Mild: Automotive



Questions:

- Is the 200 grams of Professional Detailing clay the same exact clay that is sold in the Smooth Surface kit?

- The 200 grams is obviously a much better deal than the kit (since I don't care about cleaner wax or a crappy MF towel). Are there any drawbacks to buying this?

- Am I going to find a better deal on clay anywhere else? Even the ClayMagic sold at Autozone would be more expensive (100 grams for $11). Griot's sells 260 grams for $20, but I'd have to pay for shipping.

Wow, great deal on the C2000 clay! And it’s direct from Amazon so you can get free Super Saver Shipping too.



C2000 is blue and a little more aggressive than the white clay in the smooth surface kit.

I'm a novice, and my vehicles do not get heavily contaminated, so I certainly don't want to create any self-induced marring or swirls from using an aggressive clay.



Is the C2000 clay safe for a person like me to use? Or should I stick with the Smooth Surface or Clay Magic clays?
