Got mine for like $12... It's a Meguires one, includes the clay bar and lubricant(quik detailer)

The Mothers set is more expensive because it includes a small bottle of wax. I already have enough wax, so I got the Meguires.

Oh yeah, i've seen them at Autozone and Murrays, so you should be able to find it

When buying clay bar, make sure the box is sealed. The local Pepboys where I get mine have several boxes without the clay in them. This has been going on for years (cause I always buy mine from the same store). It's sad that people try to steal them. I can't understand why $15 is worth any jail time.....

One more thing on clay bar. If you are cheap like me and cut it up into smaller pieces to use. DO NOT wrap it in plastic food wrap. Later on over time, the plastic will tend to "melt" on to the bar. It will be very difficult to peel it off. You can cut it off, then you'll be wasting it. If you are only store it for a few days or so, then it may be ok to use clear plastic food wraps.

The best solution for longer term storage is to store unused clay is to put it in a plastic container, and then wrap it plastic to seal in the moisture to keep it soft. Unless you want to use a tupperware type of container.

yeah, i bought a box once, got home, no clay.

funny thing is, i was in HS at the time, and a buddy was bragging about stealing some... eh... i got his box... what a ********

anyway, i went back and got a new box, they believed my story.
