Bought one of them as it was on offer, comes with the lube - which seems pretty decent - a plastic tub to keep it in and the clay bar; think its 100g.

Seems pretty good, lifted all the dirt like it should, and didnt seem to stick/marr. Only problem I found with it was it was really hard to knead into a shape.

Dunno how much it should be normally, so not sure how it would compare value-wise to other brands.

This was actually meant to be a thread on correcting the paint on the fathers C5, but the brief snow and mega rain which followed the blazing sunshine of the morning put paid to it :( Managed to do the bonnet though, and the difference was ridiculous. Cant wait to get into it some day next week.

Soaking the clay in a cup of warm/hot water does the job of softening it up a bit to knead buddy
