Default Soon be time for a new clay

Right as above it will soon by time for a new clay bar. I've been through the Megs Quick Clay, which I like and the Megs Aggressive Clay that I also like but find it goes off quite quickly.

My favourite has to have been the Gloss It Mild Clay though. Plenty of claying action while giving minimal if any marring. That said the marring isn't a problem for me. If I'm claying I'm going to be machine correcting.

So recommend me a clay bar. What do you use and why?

Cheers,

Matt.

Swissvax Paint Rubber is great: good sized bar (same as Megs etc) lovely storage tub and it's great value.

Not too aggresive either.

Cheers John.

Have you guys up there used it with Last Touch at all? That's my "lube" of choice due to the volume I can get through at times. I've heard reports of some clays not getting on with LT. Or is it ok to just use with water like the Bilt Hamber clays?

It depends how confident you are with claying: it'll work fine with Last Touch but it should also work fine with water; you just have an increased risk of marring with water so you need to know what you're doing.
