    Default Liquid clay bar?

    I was at auto zone yesterday and saw this stuff, by turtle wax called, Liquid ice clay bar or something.

    just wondered if anyone has tried it and what they thought of it.

    Thanks!

    wouldn't that just be a typical cleaner wax then?

    I am going to go out on a limb and say its not any good concidering the Ice car wax wasn't any good ...

    Normal clay bar just of the ice variety I opened up several different packages of stuff looking for a decent wax the other day, Since I am on good terms with the store manager he let me take a small piece of painted metal in and test a few, As far as cost vs. look feel etc. I actually like the black magic red and black bottle stuff, made my car look decent for a change.

    Nothing beats the original method, there are NO short cuts to claying, so IMO, don't waste your money

    yup...i found that out this past weekend. I was claying my car (first time ever on any car) and it was getting dark out so I didn't do the roof. And needless to say you can tell, especially when you feel it. Where I clayed it felt like new paint and on the roof you could feel all the particles on it. I am a new fan of claying and going to recommend it to everyone. Not only that, but it is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. You don't need to press hard at all. How often do you guys clay your cars?

    Friends don't let friends buy Turtle Wax.

    j/k.

    But seriously, I have tried both Ice Polish and Ice Liquid Clay and both were a disappointment.

    Traditional clay beats Ice for contaminant removal hands-down. From what I've heard from others, Ice Liquid Clay seems to clean oxidation a little better, but that's probably what appears to be the high content of solvents at work which basically means it's doing a chemical peel on your paint.

    On a whim I decided to try some of the Ice Liquid Clay Bar for my Nissan Altima (which I plan on selling soon). The car had heavy oxidation on the hood and needed a wax anyway.

    Well, it removed the hood oxidation after several passes but i wasn't impressed. For the added price it didn't do anything more than lower priced cleaners I have tried.

    I don't recommend it.

    Whats the process when using clay bar on a car. ie wash, clay bar, wax? Also how do you actually do it. I have never none it or seen it done.
