Step 1. Traditional clay bars clean the paint.
Step 2. A polish, or turtle wax liquid clay bar, resurfaces the paint, removes fine scratches.
Step 3. Wax shines and protects (carnauba wax for more shine, synthetic wax for more protection)

i doubt it, this "liquid clay bar" is nothing more than just a paint cleaner, not a polish.
ORIGINAL: v8 all the way!
Would this get out alota little to medium scratches?

This is correct. The Ice Liquid Clay Bar is laughed among the professional crew, including myself. It's a gimmick, they've been trying to sell products like this for years. However some how the "Ice" version has caught on a little more than normal. The Liquid Clay Bar is merely a consumer grade paint cleaner along the lines of Meguiars A-Line, their consumer line (Red Bottles). A polish is something that will remove paint imperfections as well as creating a prepped surface for a sealant or wax.

a claybar will not remove scratches at all...it will remove dirt from the paint leaving a glassy silk smooth finish. A polish will remove light swirling a glaze will help shine and a wax/sealant will help add depth wetness and protection

RE: Pics after liquid clay bar
Maybe this will help, a little. I just figured it out recently myself.
1) Wash the car really good.
2) Use a solid clay bar kit, to remove surface imperfections (like tree sap, pollution,etc.)
3) Use a good quality car polish, to remove fine surface scratches as much as possible and toprep the surface for waxing.
4) Use as really good quality wax, to finish everything off.
I am sure there are other little steps that you can do in between those steps, but basically I think that sums it up.
