I was looking at picking up a new clay kit and was considering trying the Mother's clay kit. Does any one have any thoughts on which was to go?



Thanks, Paul
 
Mothers hands down.

It removes more defects. However, the product is not very pliable. I usually soak it in hot water for 5 min, making it easier to work.
 
I haven't tried the Mothers clay, but the Meguiars clay just isn't all the impresive anymore. Years back, it used to be alright for an otc product. Maybe they have since changed the formulas of their clay
 
mothers is alright spray sucks the clay is very sticky at least the one i got it worked decent but marred the paint so i havent used it since ill stick with megiars agressive clay bar
 
With Mother's you get more value. 2 bars instead of one. Maybe it has been repackeged but the Meguiar's bar was small and you only get one.

Mothers clay is pretty mild. If anything you'd get more marring with Megs aggressive clay.
 
I have tried both, and prefer Mothers clay by far.

The OTC Megs clay we can buy here from stores like Autozone came with two bars and a container...
 
I've used the mothers clay bar a long time ago and it worked well, and my paint was super smooth. Just make sure your spraying the surface and you should be fine. I didn't find the clay to be that aggressive, actually being 18 at the time and really not knowing alot about detailing I thought the clay was supposed to take away swirl marks LOL. I remember vaguely saying to myself, "well it doesn't seem like the swirls went away, but my car is super smooth now for some reason" LOL. Man now I'm almost 30, can't believe how much I've learned since that day.
 
i havent noticed any marring with the meguiars agressive ive used the mothers clay bar kit the microfiber you get is better they come with 2 bars but there definatly smaller than the mothers the reason i dont like the mothers is there to sticky at times when i woudl be done with a section an ready to wipe it it woudl be hard to get the clay bar off the paint. i dont like teh lube much the meguiars quick detailer lube is amazing but now im using final inspection works amazing plus i got it uber cheap
