Hey all:
I saw this new Liquid Ice Clay Bar...except that it was a three layer liquid -- see pic
Anyone ever use this product? Any comments, thoughts? What would you reccomend otherwise for claying? I'm a little reluctant to use the moldy stuff....

Never used it so can't give any comments. But I've tried their ICE liquid polish and it was useless so i doubt it will work great.
I use Sonus green clay and i love it, it is a very mild clay and it was so easy to use and very little chance of marring or whatsoever.
Meguairs & and Mother made good clay as well from what i've heard, had use Megs before but i still prefer Sonus green.

I only use CG's Clay bar (Grey and Blue bars). I tend to stay away from any of the "over the counter" car care products that you find at your local Pep Boys or AutoZone.
The products I use are: CG, Menzerna & Zaino.

I also stay away from the over the counter stuff you can buy at the grocery store (liquid clay, etc.) I have ordered from both chemicalguys.com and autogeek.net Just recently purchased the Clayblock alternative set from Chemical guys (http://www.chemicalguys.com/Clay_Bar..._block_kit.htm). Haven't had a chance to try it yet but trust that it will perform just as well as their other products.
Autogeek has a lot of information for those that are new to detailing.

Liquid Clay is an oxymoron, it's just a great example of poor strategy and worse execution :thumbsdown:

Believe it or not, it actually works pretty well. Its the only product out of the liquid ice line that is worth anything. Although its not as good as a true clay bar, it is 100x easier and quicker to use. You won't see professional detailers using it, but it works great for the average joe.
