Hi Everyone,
I am a neophyte detailer (retiree) who has too much time on his hands so I took to detailing freinds and relatives vehicles to keep busy. Needless to say I have learned a lot but have a lot more to learn. Can anyone tell me the differences between different grades of clay and which is good to use on a black car?

They come aggressive, medium and fine. You should alway's start with the least aggressive. Do a test section and see what you will need to remove the contaminats. Use a zip lock bag and rub your fingers gently over the surface.

Welcome to my world. A retiree with a black vehicle. My suggestion, go back to work!
In all seriousness, try the least agressive first. That holds true for all products.

Good advice in this thread,

"Always use the least aggressive product to get the job done"
