What clay do you like

I clayed my roadster last night (always therapeutic). I've been using the gray Blackspire clay that Classic Motoring sold when they were in business. It works fine but has always been rather hard, making it tough to knead for the next clean run. Any clays that anyone likes that they would recommend?

Of course it's a beautiful day today and my smooth but unprotected car sits at home in the garage.

I've used clay magic, Mother's and Pinnacle with good results. Meguiar's--not so much

And don't forget the Griot's garage clay--one of the better softer clays, in a jar that seals back up, two packs one sealed for later use, and a better buy for the dollars. Used them all, and found this is one of the best deals.

I'm in agreement zkeeper. The container alone is enough of a reason to purchase.

Bilt Hamber clay is good because you don't need to use lubrication besides just water. I hate having to squirt lube so much during a full detail. You hand goes numb haha

Meguiar's with good results. Just purchased Lehm Klay from Zymol. Haven't used yet but will with next detailing.

Another vote for Griot's. I like that stuff.
