If you clay your car all the time, then I can see why it would only take 20 minutes. For the rest of us, we don't. Which means our paint is filthy. It takes quite a bit longer and a lot more work is involved. From my experience (I've clayed about 6 times now on 3 different cars.) this is the quickest and easiest method. Especially if you think about doing the roof of an SUV. Normal clay method FTL.
Also, since you don't have to wash first, you are saving that time as well.

This has cleaners/compounds to remove bug stains, tree sap, swirl marks, very fine scratch etc.
Basically it gives you a great look without having to go through several steps. You really only need to Rinse, Liquid Clay, and then Wax to get a great finished product.

Thank you

It isn't a polish or wax. This liquid version has polish like compounds in it though, but that isn't what clay is. It is designed to pull contamination out of your paint. Kind of like picking up metal shavings off the ground with a magnet.
Polish takes off a very fine amount of clear coat. Extremely fine. It's so little that you shouldn't worry about it.

Turtle Wax Ice Liquid Clay Bar. I applied it just like the directions state. Rinse the car (I washed, though). Shake bottle. Apply to included applicator. Rub back and forth. Rinse.
For me it was a lot quicker. Plus it has other compounds that can eliminate other steps normally used in a detailing project.

Maybe. Yes, you can use it on wheels that have been clear coated. Are anodized wheels clear coated?

"i dont know **** about detailing"
This makes you the perfect candidate for this product. Honestly it only adds a few minutes to your normal routine. Just remove the washing step, replace with liquid ice, and you are all set for a big smile
You know it

Wow. please fly to Guam and do my G!! haha...i'm probably the closest! 3 hours away! Where in Japan are you btw? i work with people in Yokosuka...

I work where your people work
If my ship goes to Guam, I'll PM you and we can meet up

 

psedog, you think you could apply the liquid clay with an orbital. I did it by hand the first time but was wondering with the right applicator you think anything would come out different?

 

^^^^
As long as it doesn't dry out while you are doing it, I don't see it being a problem. Although, I wouldn't buy another pad just for testing, so I'll wait for your results

"My car is so cool it has speakers in the hood."
Please elaborate, sounds like an interesting mod.

 

I detail cars and I can tell you 100% this product will NOT remove swirl marks, it's not possible. Only a polish can remove swirl marks. If you apply this stuff to a car that hasn't been washed and you are wiping it on in circles, you ARE going to swirl the paint up. You might be able to tell looking at the paint if the sun isn't directly on it but it will swirl. I'm not saying this stuff won't take off SOME contaminants but why half a$$ it, our cars are worth the real deal and the outcome is so worth it.

Have you tried this product?
Based on the package, it sounds like it has a polish type compound in it.
After doing this, my wife actually said you're done already? That's how quickly I was able to achieve these results. The packaging says it can remove swirl marks. I did notice less swirl. I don't know if it was covered up or actually taken out. Nor do I really care. I have been given good comments in person, not just on this site. So I'm happy.

As far as the washing part. Again, this is a multi compound product. It's just like using a cleaner wax. Yes, if you have the time, you can use several products to get the best results, but if you don't, what is wrong with using a multi compound product? I admitted in my first post that this wasn't as good as using actual clay.
I did this back in November. If it didn't work, I would not have posted it. After washing it yesterday, it still looks good. Of course, it rained today. Just my luck

"If you apply this stuff to a car that hasn't been washed and you are wiping it on in circles, you ARE going to swirl the paint up."
This would of course depend on how dirty the car is. Notice I said that "I" washed my car first, but you could omit that step. If my car only had light dust on it, then I would have just rinsed it and then L.C.'d it just like the package says, but it wasn't so I didn't.

Edit: No matter what you use, if you wash in a circular motion you will almost always swirl up the paint, especially if your car is filthy. This is why we wax. So, dirt doesn't stick. If your car is properly waxed, then rinsing it will remove most if not all of the light dirt. So I don't see your point.

 

just dont forget to bring me stuff for my car from japan!

 

also...i've never waxed or used claybar on my car but i have meguire's gold class liquid wax...I was wondering if i should use the wax first or try the liquid claybar first?

 

Liquid clay first, then use the wax. If you are inclined to spend a little more time on it when you are going to do it, then use a polish in between.

I think the liquid clay is good for a quick fix. Honestly, real clay will yield better results. (except it won't do anything for water spots) I haven't had the time to do a real clay in a long time. So, this was the perfect product for a quick detail. It still looks good and I haven't put any real effort into it since. I'm going to keep it and use it again. If I get the time to do a real clay, then I will pull out my Meguiars clay, which I still have.

 

lol, it' a joke with the locals when i brought the Viper out to a meet. Look @ the hood of a Gen 2 Viper, there appears to be speakers in the hood. But it's really just the intake for the AC system. Someone asked what kinda speakers they were and where the wires ran. We all had a good laugh

 

Booootyyyfullll shine, man. I think it's time I do the same and post pics.
