Clay Bar Only

Does anyone sell clay bars without QD spray; I have enough QD to last a long time.

You might try an auto paint store for a clay bar---

The Ultra-Fine clay from Sonus (Autopia) is just that, ultra-fine. It does well if the car has been maintained pretty well. For a car that needs a little help go with the fine grade clay they sell. It works as well as any other clay I've used. Never used Zaino's though.

I have both. IMO the SONUS clay is not quite as nice as Zaino but it is pretty good. You will probably be quite happy with it. I use it for many light duty jobs with great results.

Mothers Clay is also quite nice. You can usually get that locally.

Zaino is a tad more aggressive (only slightly), and has more of a plasticy fee. This makes it easier to cut away really sticky residue like sap and tar. The bars seem to last a little longer, too. You get two pretty big bars and a cool storage jar.
