Plumbers mate is a soft white compound used for sitting sanitary items on and general sealing. I wouldn't be putting it near my car, not when you can get a great and FAST claying cloth from the clay cloth company for about £12..

There are different grade of clay though. As above, not worth the risk for a few quid.

You can buy a box of Bilt Hamber soft auto clay for about £12, it's really good, will easily do 5+ Zeds. (possibly a couple more more), so less than £2 per session. I wouldn't use anything else on my cars regardless of price, it's excellent and you only need tap (hose) water as a lub.
