Bilt Hamber - http://www.bilthamber.com/clay-bars

You can use water as lube and remember to cut the bar into smaller cubes.  That way if you drop it you simply relplace it with another small piece.

I have used DJ basics, DJ super natural, megs - Not much difference in those 3 IMO; but then I only use them once a year maybe.

My 2 pence would be to buy budget if you will only be detailing once a year. Unless you are a pro detailer, or chasing perfection you shouldn't worry.

There are a few BH clay bars. I would say the soft one is the better one as the regular is a bit firmer compared to other clays and can mar the paint in colder conditions due to the firmness.

Also i have hears a lot about the cheap 3M clay bar on ebay being a lot cheaper and just as good but i havn't tried it so i am just going on what other people have said.
