Just used the turtle wax liquid claybar today...worked pretty good, ill probably stick to nonliquid in the future though.

Works well for me.

[OIF1VET]

Used it on mine as well.. Works great!

[motownZ]

looks like its time to get some of that

[meissen]

It's worth a try. Some like it, some don't. That's the case with most detail products. What might work good on one person's car won't work well on someone else's.

After using to my car had a mirror like finish. I just wish that the polishing turned out the same way. Next time i am going to try a medium speed buffer to get the ice polish paste off smoothly.

soo os there a paste and a liquid clay bar ??

[motownZ]

dumb question but whats the total process ? is it clay bar- polish - then wax???????

[meissen]

This form is a liquid "claybar." There's three parts to the liquid, when it's all mixed together it's an abrasive and lubricant so you can "claybar." Truthfully, Turtle Wax pisses me off with their naming for the ICE product line.

Their other popular product, ICE Polish is not a polish what-so-ever. I see no abrasive properties in the ICE Polish, only a liquid greasy wax / top product. Same with the ICE Liquid Claybar. A Claybar is literally a piece of clay that removes the abrasives from the paint. While the Liquid Claybar does have abrasive properties to it, and I've been successfully able to remove foreign paint on my fender from the November car accident, I still do not consider it a clay bar because it's not removing it the way clay bar does.


Rant aside, the proper process would be to claybar, polish, wax for the first time in the spring. You do not need to claybar every time, personally I try to claybar once in the spring and once in the fall before winter. Same with the polish... doesn't need to be done every time. Wax, do it often. I use regular Meguiar's NXT Wax on mine and try to apply the wax once or twice a week at the very least.

I agree, I might try a buffer to remove the claybar after it dries.
That might work. That way I can do the whole car.
I think it says to do a panel at a time and rinse it off.
Thats hard to do, I would rather do the whole car....then rinse it off.

But after, I put the Ice wax on.

It shines really good.
