I've used Mother's and I've used Meguiar's and they both seem to be the same and I've had great results with both.
I do mine at the start of car show season and just did mine 2wks ago, and followed it up with polish, wax and then a sealer. You can see my results on what will be a 4yr old car this October.

According to "Junkman", all clay comes from the same place and there is no difference.

I use their Show Car Wash concentrate diluted properly to wash the surface and with their clay bar also. I then follow that with their Show Car Polish for Clear Coated cars. I use Pete's 53' Black Pearl White Carnauba as a final step right before a car show. On a side note Zaino makes a "slingless" tire gloss that smells like bubble gum...makes my sweet tooth go nuts when I use it.

I used Meguiers clay bar a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't look like much contaminants were in the clay bar afterwards. First time clay baring the camaro in the 2 years I have had, but it has less than 3,000 miles on it so maybe thats why I didn't have much contaminants in the clay.

I'm a fan of optimums clay. I wasn't too big a fan of Adams clay it just seemed dry, but it could've been a batch difference or some reason caused by me. The nano skin seems good but maybe just too fancy for me, plus it seems difficult to use in tight areas.
