clay bars adams or swissvax

Swissvax paint rubber (blue) and Adams grey clay bar

which is the better between these two clays? are they both similar in terms of aggressiveness?

thanks for your help guys

 

From what I have read yes they are similar. SV one is a med aggressiveness and not really worth the price as it is somewhat hard and not really worth it. The uber clay is a nice one as well if you are just looking at buying from DD.

 

so is the adams clay bar medium aggressive as well?

 

It is your middle of the road clay.

 

Get the clay magic bars, or Sonus green.

 

how would you say it compares to blue claymagic? thats what i have right now

those are the two clays that i have right now lol.

 

Pretty much the same as clay magic blue. Blue may have a itty bitty bit more bite, but if you are happy with blue just stick with that. It is a great clay and cheaper.

 

adam.s grey is more aggressive than clay magic blue. I would only use adam.s if you plan on polishing after.

 

bilt hamber soft clay!

 

Blue and adams gray to me seem like the same level almost...and both have very light marring when I have used them.

 

between adams grey clay and claymagic bkue, which would you say is the easiest to use (ie folding, not falling apart)

 

Amen to that. Definitely plan on a light polish following Adam's. Never used the Magic Blue, I think I have some laying around here somewhere. I would almost classify Adam's Grey as medium / high aggressive due to the fact of having to polish afterwards. I happened across some Canadian clay that I use the hell out of for just claying and then waxing. I've found a quick clay using this makes the wax job that much easier for on / off and better shine.

 

in my experience, it isn't so much the type of clay that makes it difficult to manipulate. I've found that once the clay gets cold enough it not only is more difficult to fold and re mold, but it's effectiveness is also greatly reduced the colder it gets. So as long as you are using it in above temps of, say, 60 deg. F any clay should work just fine as far as pliability is concerned.

 

i'll also add that short of bilt hamber, my favorite fine clay is sonus green. I.m strongly considering trying out di's clay too. But i have a bunch to burn through first.

 

If I am at my shop I soak it in water from my tea maker, If I am mobile I stop at a Dunkin Donuts(small cup of hot water is free at most of them). Let it soak until its soft and easy to shape. Do not put into the water when its super hot though. I think the clay magic is great stuff, I have not used the Adams clay and will not comment. I can only say this I am not looking to switch clays.

Now if you are looking to clay and not polish I think Sonus Green clay is your best choice. Or a decon wash setup.
