hi mate i have only used the Meguiars clay bar myself as when i was looking for advise it was the 1 everyone seemed to advise, since buying my clay bar and a few other Meguiars products i've started to sell them at discounted prices.

MY SHOP

click the link i stock the clay bar kits or clay bar on its own but this 1 will need a liquid quick detailer to help the clay :)

hope this has helped you mate

and look for sonus clay

one of the best available, TBH it makes the meguires look like cheap rubbish, and yet is less than half the price of the megs.

Dont get me started on detailing,lol, it's THE most expensive and addictive pastime I've ever done!
Forget megs, they do the job but you can get the same or even better results from cheaper proucts. Whats the reason for using the clay? I only ask because unless your planning on giving your car a good polish/wax, you'll cause more problems in the future. The clay will, as probably already know, remove all the contaminents that washing your car wont shift, it will also remove the wax protection at the same time, if you dont re-wax, the polish will fade so you end up doing more work to restore it! Look for something like poor-boys or sonus.
Like I said Megs does exactly what it say's it will, but why pay more than you need to? Check out http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/ these guys know everything about detailing.
Hope that helps
