Default Which One Do You Use, Mothers or Meguiars

Which one do you prefer the Mothers claybar or the Meguiars clay bar, which one do you consider the best, Really want to know if there is a difference between them. Thanks in advance!

There's not much difference between the commercial auto parts store version of these two clay bars or clay magic for that difference. Just ordered some Pinnacle Poly clay and Sonnus that is supposed to be gentler. Been using Meg's blue pro line stuff for a while and have been happy with it.

from what i understand, in the US, the meguiars and mothers is the same stuff since there's a patent that's owned by clay magic. the only difference is the different level of grades in aggressiveness.

just buy whichever is cheaper. between the meg's and mothers

Just remember that clay comes from Japan, where it was invented. We carry them all ( Meguiar's & Mothers ) and our own also Blackfire Poly Clay Bar.

I've used Mothers, Zaino, and Sonus. All are good. The Zaino bar I had were the older yellow ones and they seemed a bit tougher to kneed. A little warm soapy water for lube solves that problem.
