Hi.

Saw turtle wax has an ice liquid clay. How does that compare to the standard clay bar with lubricant? Are the results the same, because a liquid clay would seem easier to apply

 

iquid clay?? sounds like a rubbing compound or an aggressive polish...

I like using the actual clay products because I can "feel" the slickness and I know where needs more attention.

 

theres a such thing called liquid clay?

 

Turtle Wax® ICE™ Liquid Clay Bar is a revolutionary new way to deep clean and restore your car's finish in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional clay bars. A unique triple layer formula consists of a scratch & swirl remover, cleaning agents and an exfoliant that work together to provide outstanding cleaning capabilities.

Product Benefits

Easily removes minor scratches, swirls marks, tree sap, paint overspray and embedded dirt and stains that ordinary detailing clays leave behind.
Creates smooth as glass finish on all paintwork, fiberglass and metal surfaces.
Does not contain harsh abrasives that can scratch or scuff your finish.

 

I've never used it, but why mess with a good thing? Regular clay is already so easy to do

 

Dont bother with it, It doesnt accomplish nearly what a traditional clay bar does. Seriously, put the $15.00 towards a 200 gm bar of clay.

 

Yeah, I'm a noob and would have to agree, I just don't see it working. It sounds more like a polish than anything else, its not going to actually remove the dirt/grime on the paint, just rub it into it and would make me think it would just make things worse.

 

i actually used it, and noticed after using it, that my black paint was a much deeper and richer color... dont know about getting the swirls out though.

 

That still sounds like it may just be polishing and not really removing impurities....claybaring isn't designed to remove swirls. Try a 'bag test'

Also, here is where the quote is from, a great article about using a Clay Bar over on DU by Jon Miller (TOGWT).

 

I've never used the liquid version, but I know a real clay bar works. It's not that hard.

Stick with regular clay - you will never get results that even compare.

i tried that liquid clay and it left a white residue...stick to the original clay.

 

Yep, I saw this stuff and decided to give it a try and it sucks. Its nothing but a fine cutting abrasive in a soapy solution. Garbage. I returned it.


I have never used clay because I always get great results from the Mequiars #9 prior to application of the wax/polish.

 

turtlewax liquid claybar licks *****. i tried it on my bro's car. it left white residue. and didn't work either. it was like soaping your car with suds that dried way too fast.
