griot's has a nice soft claybar that is very easy on the finish.

you can make 2 batches from this huge clump they give ya.
keep one batch in the original container. place the other
half in a baggie or separate container and leave the lid open
for a couple of hours to let dry in a cool dry place with
no wind. dont let it dry completely...but dry enough that
it firms up a little bit. this will be for your stubborn
stains/bugs/tar.

the soft batch is for milder stains. griots claims that their
clay is so soft it will not remove wax, which is a good thing
if you're just spot clay/waxing.

I only use mother's claybars and have yet to be dissatisfied. You can get them anywhere.

mother's is pretty hard compared to more user friendly ones... but it's
all subjective.

I'll be using Pinnacle's clay bar from autogeek.net or pinnaclewax.com.
