    I'm about to place a nice order from DD (thanks phil!) and am wondering which claybar I should purchase. I have Adam's selected right now, but I don't know if I should buy that or the Uber claybar.

    Which one should I purchase?

    I have used Adams clay before and it is decent stuff. I like the yellow clay from eshine but if you are in the US, you can't buy it - patent issue.

    Adam's is a but more aggressive.

    Ubar is less aggressive./fine.

    Doesn't Adams have different colour clays?

    Hey phil, is the uber claybar similar in agressive"ness" to the meg's claybar that they package into a kit? The only one's I've used are that one and the one in the Mother's Kit. I was not a fan of the mother's claybar, as it was way too soft, and seemed to leave trails on the paint surface. I'm hoping that the Adam's is not like that. The more aggressive clay is actually better for my next detail. 2002 Chevy Silverado that likes to go where a truck is made to go.

    And... is there any type of comment on it (Adam's) specifically? Or simply you would reccommend Uber over the Adam's. If so, why?

    How does it compare to Sonus green?

    Adams Clays:

    Yellow - Original (Widely considered the best)
    Gray - Replacement for Yellow.
    Purple - Replacement for Gray as many people said gray was too harsh
    Blue - Replacement for Purple cause people didn't like it, closer to yellow than the Gray. Finer than the Gray.

    This is from a discussion I had with an Adams Salesguy...

    I use Adam's clay on cars that I know I'm going to polish with a medium cut polish or greater after claying. It will smooth out a paint surface like a hot knife through butta. Never really became a big fan of the purple stuff. Was kind of a pain to work with by little parts breaking off and it was almost impossible to remove off yoru fingers.

    I HATED the Purple clay... The gray is very nice, and I have yet to try the blue...

    I've got a touch up comming due on my car that I'm planning on a clay/PO85rd/wax... I should probably get a finer clay... Hmmm....
