I use Sonüs detail clay. It seems to be a lot more pliable and more easily kneaded than the Meguiar's or Turtle Wax branded clay that I have purchased locally. You can find it here:

I was using Zaino for years. The products are great, but I do have one big complaint. When they switched to the red clay bar from the yellow, they really lost something. I am not impressed with the red clay.

I have tried the Sonus clay too. I don't care for it at all. Yes it is soft and pliable, but using their clay bar "lube" it disintegrated in my hands. I will not buy that again.

I still use Zaino for the interior of my car. I have cloth seats and use the BMW fabric/cloth cleaner for the cloth sections. As some one else mentioned, I've not found a better glass cleaning product than Stoner InvisibleGlass. That applied with a quality microfiber cloth and you are good.

I'm using Mezerna exterior products now. First application was last Autumn with a Porter Cable. I'm not sure if it is superior to Zaino or not. Need to do another Spring app soon. It does seem to be just as much work as the Zaino.

Oh, and P21S wheel cleaner is the best I have found.

Regards,

I recieved a Griots catalog today in the mail. Griots Garage. I didn't order it, it just came. Should I get all their products? I was considering their Ultimate Car Wash Bucket for $39.99.

How good are their products? What products are worth buying? How about their leather care items? Thanks brothers. :w00t:
