For clay bar, I think they're pretty equal. I've used both quite a few times with equal results. When it comes to polishes, Zaino kicks the crap out of Mother's. I recently tried Mother's again just to see if I was missing something new, and I wasn't.

From a functionality standpoint, I think Mother, Zaino and Clay Magic are all equal.

But I prefer the Zaino, because for the same price as the other two, you get twice as much clay.

Clay bar really doesn't matter, I use the Zaino just because I think its better, I use all ZAINO products BECAUSE they are better.... <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Zaino is a waste of money IMO!
I use the Clay Magic clay bar, then the Mothers 3 step system Pre Cleaner 2 coats of the glaze and 2 coats of Carnuba wax.

Total cost $40 and I will have enogh to do the car several times a year and I will go up against a "Zainoed" car any day. <img src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" border="0" alt="[fight]" />

Trust me it is no waste of money....compare my blue car to any other blue car like mine and my blue looks deeper and has more of a gloss look to it...I got lots of comments on if my car was specially painted compared to the others....I drove my car in salt/snow for the first time and I didn't use soap to wash it, just a spray bottle and water and towels, but it was really clean then I zainoed it....

And it still looked more blue than the others...
