What do people rate in the world of Clay Bars?

I've tried the Megs quick-clay bar and found it good for very light contamination, but absolutely dire on deep and concentrated contamination (even after maching muffing with AG3 Advanced Liquid Compound).

So basically, a good clay bar that will remove heavy contamination and ground in dirt while not marring the paint or scratching it.

Cheers

 

clean your cars own stuff or the sonus clay mate

 

Got a link to any of those 2 please Mo?

 

just go onto cleanyourcar.com and both are listed i think mate.

 

Surely you know where the best Gay Bar is dude??

 

i used the sonus fine clay on the bonnet and roof of the bm that was caked in complete shit tree sap,bird droppings it worked a treat but they all so sell the meguiars range but clay thats a bit more aggressive.

 

there located in your neck of the woods too,bonus.

 

Given the problem described, the Meguiars Detailing Clay Aggressive would be ideal, as it works well but doesn't marr provided your method is sound and you use a good quality lubricant like Meguiars Last Touch diluted 1:1. Full details here...

Cheers boys

The Megs aggressive clay is what I was looking at on the website - the problem with what I have is what they describe as "rail dust" - tiny metal fines in the paint that rust and heavily contaminate

Great website Rich

 

Can u not get most of the area clean and just use a less aggresive clay on the delicate area,atleast this will get it as clean as poss then u can protect the area with a decent wax or sealent prevent crap getting in to it or near it.

 

I once detailed an Audi that had been stored in a hanger where they are constantly grinding etc and the only clay that worked was the Megs agressive, awesome stuff.

 

there is a yellow clay bar available from the states, suppose to be the best available?

 

I always use Sonus Green or Zymol Lehm Klay.

 

Im liking the poorboys clay

 

this one good http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/autoclay.php?cPath=27

 

Not a nice problem to have; most new Ford's come with rail dust for free, courtesy of how they get transported into the UK, and for us either the Meguiars or Gloss It aggressive clays are ideal (the latter only really if you intend to machine the finish afterwards).
