Newbie question on "liquid clay"

[jlift]

Hello. I am new here and have gained alot of insight from the pros. I just bought a car and want to clay it. I have always had someone else detail my car for me, but now that I have this car, I am going to be doing all the washes, detail myself. After reading some basic stuff, I see that most people are probably doing alot of stuff wrong anyway, so like the saying goes, "if you want something done right, just do it yourself." I know that clay bars are sort of expensive and I haven't used one before. I do see contamination on my car so I think claying is in order.

I ran across "Glare liqui-clay - the clay bar in a bottle." And I would like to ask the members here if this is a good alternative to regular clay?

Thanks again.

Jack.

Havnt used it or heard of it but I dont think there really is an alternative to clay. IM guessing that stuff is just a paint cleaner and it woudlnt be able to remove all of the contaminents that Clay could. You can get a clay kit at autozone for 10 bucks so its hard to beat that. Congrats on the new car!

I've heard that It actually can remove a lot of embedded contaminants. There was a very complete review of it a while back (before the forum facelift) and the user seemed to like it. Try searching for it, it should give you all the information you could want.
