Turtle Wax LIQUID claybar

I went to Walmart..it was in my cart, but when I thought what I could buy for the 15 bucks..I just couldn't do it..maybe it'll be on clearance for 5 bucks in a few months hehe
 
Usually use meguiar's products, went with Turtle Wax, Ice

OctaneGuy is doing a test of this product to test the claim that it "removes swirls." That's what the package says: "removes swirls." Richard is half done with the test, but the conclusions should be forthcoming any day now on showcarddetailing.com. I did a test myself on my black acura and it did not perform as advertised. Plus it was hard work. It's really thin stuff, watery. I could feel particles, just like you can with a clay bar, but the TW did not seem to actually remove them, much less the swirls. But I trust Richard better than I trust myself, so I eagerly awaithis conclusions.
 
Most products that say "remove swirls" dont actually remove them, but rather fill them. Z-5, Vanilla Moose, KAIO, heck most of the AIOs. It is all about hiding them in the terms of advertising.
 
Z5 never, ever stated the it removes swirls. Z5 hides only the most minute of surface marring by filling. Z5 is present in this manner and states quite clearly that it contains no abrasives but hides blemishes by "filling".



ZAIO will, if proper pad selection and detailing skills are applied. So will the pre-VOC safe KAIO and VM. VM you just need to be careful and perform a post polishing inspection with IPA to remove any oily residue that may be hiding repairable blemishes.



Of course, there is a limit for these products effectiveness. With experience one can easily tell if a more abrasive polish should be initially selected.



No sense in bringing a knife to a gunfight. ;)
 
You are right, it just hides them...But for the newbie, it is called Z-5 Pro Show Polish for Swirl Marks and Fine Scratches. It does not eliminate any of those. Most AIO products do not eliminate swirls, just hide them. Same with this product.
 
From my testing you aren't missing anything. It does minimal cleaning of the surface and leaves a nice oily patch on the area it's used on.
 
I tried it last week on my 2003 Camry. Purchased at the local Wal-Mart for $15.00. Front bumper has some bug stuff which has been around for quite a while and wanted to see if it would do anything. After applying (by hand really working it in)it dried to a haze and did finish out nice on the bumper. Not all bug stuff was removed but it did feel alot slicker and did remove stuff that I had not gotten off with other products. Not a great test though as I did not use it on the horizontal surfaces which do have spots I will try and report back about.
 
did my toy this morning with the liquid clay.was very easy on&off.seemed to do very good job.i do mine with clay about every 3 mos.used klasse aio and then p21s.came out great as always.will i use liquid again,yes.i have 05 mustang gt windviel blue
 
I almost tried that! It is a thin consistency but may really kick in by PC...I do have my 2002 Dale Earnhardt SS to do this weekend...hmmmm...I'll post back the results!
 
no frickin thanks, when this thread was started i saw it at wal mart, since then nada, maybe becuase the general public doesnt know what clay is to begin with maybe because its got such a bad wrap buy guys that know their sh**. either way just looking at thier bottles makes me thing of the menthol version of all thier other crap. they gear their products to the unaware consumer than thinks you basically just rub every kind of product on your paint and rub off. have at it, the more i learn about this business the more i learn of others claiming they do real work.

If you haven't tried it, then you can't really try to say anything bad or good about it, since you don't have any actual firsthand experience with the product in question.
 
That's kinda what I was saying. Dont bad mouth a product unless you have had a chance to try it for your self. I dont like TW stuff, but the ICE LC is actually an ok product, and I am not an "unaware consumer that thinks you basically rub every kind of product into your paint".
 
Would one compare this to an AIO?

Solvents for cleaning, mild abrasives, (swirls) and some type of mild protection?

yes. it's not as strong as an actual claybar, but as a good strong paintwork cleanser it works well.
