I once used some Meguiar's clay kit on a dark green bmw and it was pure hell trying to fix all the spots where the clay bar stuck to the paint. I told myself never again would I buy a clay bar, "off the shelf" so to speak. I've used DD's (blue)uber clay bar and liked it. Also be sure to buy a clay bar lube too.

Yea if the clay bar is sticking its either because its worn or because its not lubricated enough. I would think I clay bar would be better at removing contaminants then a pad with some magic sauce on it. If anything I would do it after a clay but in my opinion nothing can replace a clay in doing what it does. I've used clay on my white 135 and had beautiful wet paint after wax. 50 to 75 percent of finish quality is in prep work
