RE: Liquid Clay Bar
ORIGINAL: mac10chap
i'm not sure...all i know is that i did half my hood and stood back to compare the sides...(i had just done a liquid wax 4 days ago)...it was like night and day. the clayed side looked damn near brand new. it says something about a triple layer cleaning process or something...who knows, looked good though

RE: Liquid Clay Bar
I've used the Turtlewax Liquid Claybar and it does a decent job for a surface with only minor blemishes and buildup. If you've let your finish go and it's in need of some serious cleaning, then I wouldn't use it. But if you maintain the finish then it's a very good, fast alternative.

RE: Liquid Clay Bar
So after you clay it are you supposed to wash it again? I was told to wash, clay, wash, wax. I think the 2nd wash is a little overkill........but if it has to be done...it has to be done.

RE: Liquid Clay Bar
Yes, it has to be washed after you clay in order to remove the clay residue and rinse the remaining contaminants that were lifted by the claying process away. You'll see why after you clay. You won't WANT to do anything else before you wash it again.

RE: Liquid Clay Bar
I clay my car twice a year, I tried the liquid last fall to see if was faster. I did the hood, then went back to the parts store to get a real clay bar. I wasn't impressed with the liquid. Once yo use a real clay bar, you'll understand. And yes, wash, clay wash, wax. It might take all day but the results are amazing.

RE: Liquid Clay Bar
They dont sell Clay Bars on the American Bases, and the only ones off the base are priced in Euro's, and plus import price gouge, so with the way the economy is back in the states I'll just have to wait another month and a half...
