jcartwright99 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Well, I was going to clay my dads Flex and my Fusion this weekend. It just rained all weekend so no dice on even washing them. I was going to go with the Mother's clay bar kit with a couple bars of clay. After doing research, I don't what to get. Griots caught my eye too. Anyone have any recommendations?

I personally tend to prefer Meguiar's products and have had good luck with them, including the claybar. If you have no preference between those three, I would probably go with the one I could find on sale or least expensive, apples to apples, since they are all top brands and good for the purpose they need to accomplish. I'm sure others will jump in with their own opinions and experiences. Good luck with whichever you choose and your car detailing.

rperez817 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 jcartwright sir, as bbf2530 mentioned Meguiar's, Mother's, and Griot's are all good choices. Another option is Adam's Polishes Fine Grade Clay Bars. 2 100g bars for $17. https://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/adam-s-fine-grade-clay-bar.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootsjxn Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I’ve used both mothers and griots. I prefer mother’s. I used griots last week on my new nautilus and it was much messier than mothers. Very sticky and goopy... I kept spaying it to keep it slick but it was pretty messy. It worked fine but mother’s is easier to work with... -perhaps I got a bad batch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_A Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 (edited) One alternative to clay bars are the synthetic pads/mitts like this one: https://www.autogeek.net/griots-garage-fine-prep-mitt.html Two advantages - last way longer than clay and if you drop them, while using them, you just rinse them off, and get back to work.

Hootsjxn Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) My new continental finally arrived Monday. Washed it today. Used Griots clay bar and after that Wolfgang 3.0 sealant. Can’t say enough about Wolfgang sealant. Edited June 21, 2019 by Hootsjxn Edit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
