you won't be dissapointed, as of right now all clay bars are the same. The patent is suppose to end this year I think. There is just grades of clay and that is as good as it gets

Adam's is the best, but Mother's claybars get the job done just as well.

Make sure you lube the paint well as you clay. And if you drop the clay, throw it away. it will pick up sediment from the ground & put scratches in your paint.

I have used Mother's Clay bar when I first got my Stang and it worked very well. Like mcate said just keep using the spray that comes with it to keep the paint wet and you will be okay. The car feels great after you finish it.
