Yes, the Clay Magic bar works well. There are a few different brands of clay bars out there. Some of the bars shred real easy. I have also found out that if you use to much of the "lube" the bars will fall apart. In the past the Clay Magic lube/detail spray contained silicone. I'm not sure if it still does. I use either Dawn dish washing liquid if I'm stripping the wax or car wash liquid for the lube and it works well.

Just got the Mother's Clay kit. Glad to hear it works well. I want to try a Menzerna kit but, need to use up all my Meguiars, Medallion, Zymol, etc. first.

I really liked the claymagic, I actually heard that the mothers wasn't the best but I myself am optimistic in a way cause I haven't tried it, but I refrained from buying it because I don't like their wax.
