Opinions on best claybar and lubricant

[BlackICE]

What type of claybar and lubricant do you use?

 

[B O N Y]

with enough foreplay, and proper technique a lubricant should not be required.
I offer seminars that you might consider enrolling in. thank you.

The only other product/service that I can suggest (other than Bony's) is Zaino's.

I have used Mothers and Meguiars with less than stellar results, they are often too mild to do much and have fallen apart in my hands.

Zaino, Sonus, and Clay Magic are the best bars available in North America, and Ricardo bars are the best available in the U.K. IMHO. Zaino and Sonus bars are mild-medium grade by themselves and are a perfect "In the middle" bar. Clay Magic has bars that are mild and red bars that are medium. Medium bars will cause clear coat damage that will need to be restored but are excellent at removing heavier fallout, set in brake dust, etc..

Clay Magic has a great kit available at your local auto parts store that comes with a good lubricant. I make my own clay lube per Zaino's suggestion of Z-7 soap and deionized water and have had excellent results, far better than any quick detailer I've used for clay lube. A 32 oz. spray bottle and about two capfuls of Z-7, some water, and you're good to go. :thumbsup

I use Zymol clay bars - but rarely and sparingly. I have not used one on the GT, mostly the Range Rover which gets abused.

Jason the more trade secrets you give away the more I know I need to leave this to you......I think Meilda needs you in the UK the only guy that holds a candle to you is in the UK and charges several thousand $$$

But thanks for the tip on the lube mix:thumbsup

Zymol here. Haven't done the GT, but it's wonderful on my black 911.

I used Griot's Garage's clay bar with their Speed Shine solution. Gets it smooth like the underside of my humongous biceps, with no visible damage to the clear coat.

Yes but think of the damage to your skin. :biggrin

I have tried both Meguiar's and Zaino, Zaino seems better and a better lubricant

 

[andymlow]

I have heard rumor that the Griot's is the Ricardo? Anyone else hear that?

Non professional here, but I've experimented with quite a few different kinds, so far I am sold on Zaino Clay Bar and the rest of their line of quality products. The wet shine is simply stunning. :cheers
