Default Brand new car...which clay?

I have a one week old Civic Si and the only clay I have is the PB elastic clay (gray). I was looking into the blue clay that Phil offers. I don't want anything too aggressive. Will the PB clay work just fine? I mean I will be doing a full detail on it but I would like to not induce any marring. I'll be using CG Luber as the lube for it.

First congrats on the Civic, very nice cars

As for clay, it's so odd that all I use is Ricardo clay bar that I haven't used anything else....I've never used the PB clay bars so don't know what else to recomend. Oh I've tried the Meg's regular clay bar (white clay bar) dosen't have a bite and I found it to be very mild and wasen't very good for my taste...any who ever since then I've used Ricardo and haven't had the need to change if I need a more aggresive clay I'll use the Red Clay Magic.

Well that's just me hope this helps

Something sof t for a new car, like Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay, or Sonus green clay is what you want.

You don't need a terribly aggressive clay for a new car.

I think DD's blue clay would be appropriate.

Unless you plan on polishing, go with Sonus green clay, otherwise Clay Magic blue clay would be fine (its OTC @ Autozones).
