Bilt-Hamber Auto Clay. It is fairly soft, so not too aggressive, folds easily and best of all it uses water as the lubricant instead of having to buy a lubricant as well as the clay.
Saves time too, after you wash the car, just rinse, then clay and wipe off any residue with a drying towel.

I just Mothers brand clay bars...I like them...pretty soft. If I need to get off some harsher stuff, I used Meguiars Red clay bar...pretty aggressive.

where would be the best place to purchase this stuff. Can you only get it on the internet or how would go about getting it if you were me.

gliptone is the best otc clay ive used. mothers is good too. u can find them at any pepboys, strauss, etc.
sonus and all the other specialty brands are good, but if youre just buying a claybar it makes no sense to pay shipping on just one tiny little product.
PS: no need for a specialty lube (its just marketing hype), just mix an ample amount of car soap with water in a spray bottle and youre good to go.
PSS: save the old claybars for use on your wheels. gets rid of all the embeded brake dust and makes them look brand new...better than any wheel cleaner ive ever used.
