Default Clay Bar

Im probobally gonna clay my car tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I've waxed it once since I bought it about a month ago with nxt but lookin for more shine. Any particular brand I should go with? Meguiars, Mothers ? I saw some brand for about 11 bucks, wondering if it would be as good or should I just go with the good one?

Use a paste wax instead of a liquid, lasts longer, protects better, and shines better.

I used Meguiars Clay Kit ..it was a better deal than the Mother's kit and it worked great! I paid $14 for the Meguiars kit which included: 2 50g clay bars, a bottle of Quick Detailer to use as lubricant, a 12" x 12" Microfiber towel, and a bottle of Liquid Cleaner Wax (6 oz).

I always use the Clay Magic but of the one's you mentioned I would go with Mothers over the Meguiars (I have not personally used Meguiars but know many that have had issues with the clay breaking down). I recommend that you cut your bar in half before using in case you accidentally drop it since you HAVE to throw it away if you drop it on the ground.
