Wink Clay Bar

I find that if you clay bar your vehicle, it makes for one heck of a feel when you've polished and waxed it. Which is better, Meguires or Mothers. I've heard good things about the new Mothers Refection, but is it worth $13 or more a bottle?

When you buy clay bar, make sure it's made in Japan or of high quality. Most of them are made in Japan. Mequiars and Mothers clay bar are one of the best. Made in Japan. Another brand is Sonus. The bottle with the liquid that usually comes included with the clay bar is not that important. You can mix some car wash solution and water in a spray bottle and use it as the lubricator.

I remember the first time I used a clay bar. The stuff is absolutely amazing. The paint was soo smooth.

I have used Mothers claybar and it is very good. It is what got me to try the other Mothers products. Mothers Synwax FX is a bit cheaper than Reflections and has more shine. Reflections is better for darker colors IMO. Both are excellent and very easy to use. Well worth the money.
