The Meguiars from CTC works great. There are only 1 or 2 companies that actually make it. It just gets re-packaged under different brand names.

CTC only has the kits. With a small brick & spray. btw always check the contents - often the clay bar has been stolen by some lowlife.

But just the clay? Good question.

CT isn't too bad as far as clay goes (read up on autopia about it).

eshine.ca is great for ordering detail supplies. ur car's always clean tho man...i doubt u'd need 2 hit it with anything too strong.

water, soap, rinse....repeat as needed FTW.

Clean or not, if you drive it on a road, you need to clay it to remove the embedded grit. Do this test: wrap a piece of plastic food wrap on your hand and run against the paint. If it glides totally smoothly: you don't need to clay it. If it snags a bit: use the clay.
FYI: I clay mine twice a year. Spring and the late fall. Followed by a full polish with Optimum Poli-Seal (using a Porter Cable random orbital polisher), 1 coat of P21S Concour wax, and a final wipe down with Optimum Opti-Seal paint sealer. I also do the wheels the same way.
I get all my supplies now at eshine.ca
