Griot's Garage Griot's Garage Paint Cleaning Clay (8 oz)

A single 8 oz (227 g) synthetic polybutene clay bar — large enough to flatten into a patty for full-vehicle work without running out of clean face. Soft mid-grade cut handles typical daily-driver brake dust, mild fallout, water spots, and sap with adequate lubrication. Lubricant is sold separately (Griot's Speed Shine is the recommended pairing); any clay-safe quick detailer will work. Community reports broadly confirm the manufacturer's 7-vehicles-per-bar claim with proper kneading and storage.

Best for owners who clay multiple vehicles or detail seasonally — the 227 g single bar offers the best per-vehicle value in the mainstream consumer category. Skip if you want a smaller bar for occasional use (a Mothers or Meguiar's kit at 80 g per bar is the better entry point), and skip for ceramic-coated or recently corrected paint where a fine-grade clay (Adam's) is the lower-marring-risk choice.

A single 227 g bar typically supports 4–7 vehicles before kneading no longer exposes a clean face. Store sealed in the original tray or a plastic bag — drying out is the main shelf-life failure mode. Discard immediately if dropped on the ground; embedded grit will scratch paint. Spent bars go to landfill regardless of brand.
