Do you have a link? If you want a cost effective clay, then look at Bilt Hamber Soft, which is £11 for a large 200G bar (you can cut it into 4)
Blackfire Sealant on its own is £30 :)
If you want a clay from the same seller, then I'd recommend this...
I actually made a start on this car a few weeks ago, but got rained off halfway through :(
However, I now have the Megs MF system and Auto Finesse Spirit in my collection, so I could try them out on this rather nice Mondeo Zetec-S...
A few befores:

I wouldn't start off with the MF system, I'd go with Megs 105 and 205 and a selection of CG Hex Logic pads.
3M doesn't work as effectively via DA and the pads will break up quickly - the system is designed for rotary use.
Blackfire Sealant on Petrol Blue for me, on top of GEP if you can stretch to it (£48 for the pair) if not, SRP or whatever you have should be okay as a base.
I got my Revive through this morning, and will be testing it properly later, on my GF's Ka bumpers, which are in a right state.
My own car, a Mk5 Golf, doesn't have a great deal of plastic trim unfortunately, so I decided to test it on the rubber door seals, which I was leaving to do with...
Re: What have you ordered?
You mean Autobrite? ;)
I've tested a LOT of products, and for me, these are a cut above the rest, with the exception of Gloss (tyre dressing) which leaves a great finish, but is GONE after a rain downpour, which is a shame!
You get what you pay for IMO... I'd...
Lol, I paid £80 and got this posher one, and its great, does heat control too, which I don't think the Baron does?
I wouldn't be without it now... nothing more annoying than getting water run from a wing mirror mid polishing lol
As mentioned at the beginning of this write up, I took the opportunity to have a play with Meguiars new MF system on this car (after trying it on my own yesterday, of course!)
So a CYC DAS-6 Pro:

This lovely example of a Lupo GTI belongs to the wife of my mate who owns the 5 door Golf GTI 'show car' which I detailed a few months ago (its won a few awards this season - congrats Al :thumb:)
The car itself is in generally very good condition for a 10 year old car, but the flat black paint...
Great effort and as said, don't knock yourself too much - it's damn near impossible to get E46 black paint perfect with a DA without spending a week on it!
Looks stunning :)
Re: What have you ordered?
Yeah exactly, very oily indeed!
I may give the clay a try. I get through a lot of it though, so it needs to be a few quid cheaper to make me switch from Bilt Hamber...
Re: What have you ordered?
Lather and Gloss are superb!
Glisten seems to be a bit trickier to use, but I'm sure it's great once mastered.
It's nice having something new to use, that's actually well priced and performs well. You can tell he's been getting these right for a long time.
Re: What have you ordered?
You're lucky being so close!
Can't wait to get Revive and try Glide out :)
I have Spirit on my bonnet and Soul and Passion still to try, very impressed so far!
My recent addiction to purchasing Auto Finesse products of late, resulted in another delivery of them today from James and Sian. I must say, the level of service was outstanding (arrived at 8:30am, the day after ordering!) and the order was very well packed and well presented. Nice business...
