Clay Bar...What one do you use?

Just wondering which clay bar most of the people use......

Uber Clay bar from Detailer's Domain. Bought it with the No Rise car wash stuff and a detail lube. Check out Phils website. I have nothing but high praise for his products. And... I have no connection to him.

Just a very satified customer.

I'm pretty subjective about BRANDS since they're all the same basically.
Just don't trust your local strauss "clay"

I've been using Griot's clay. I use it multiple times a week to keep my paint clean! Even after hand washing my car with Zymol "clear" car wash shampoo I had some very small missed dried on wax areas and there was a tough sap speck here and there. Clay works to remove all those microscopic particles/contaminants and it will make things easier for me to keep my paint fresh & in pristine condition.
My 11' 128i vert is only a week old! I've used the clay bar for a "final paint inspection" after washing. That would be the 2 times I have washed my car in the first week of ownership.

I read that all the clay is manufactured by a single company and then branded/licensed to each customer accordingly. Not sure if this is true, but really, clay is clay (for the most part).
