Default Best clay bar kit

Guys,
Which is the best clay bar kit to use on my new mustang. I would like a kit that had the clay bar, cleaner polish and final wax.

If money is not an issue, get a Zaino brothers detailing kit. Is absolutely amazing shine. It is a little pricey, kit will run you about $100.
Check it out.

Sorry to hijack but I have a quick question. Is it best to strip all the wax off your car before you use a clay bar? I have about 15 coats of wax on my car...it would be a shame to strip it all off.

mustangman2424.....very good link, thanks.

The clay will do a pretty good job at stripping the existing wax off. I also doubt that 15 coats are actually on the car, as each additional coat of wax tends to at least partially remove the last. I do however recommend waxing the car twice after claying the car to ensure the wax completely covers all the paint.

If you want to strip all the wax off use Dawn dish washing soap.
