Default Turtle wax. is it crap?

The new liquid clay bar.. has anyone given it a try? I have trouble thinking it would do better than say a traditional zaino clay bar. But to think of the time and trouble it might save.. but alas like all short cuts... they are usually not worth it

Im just curious if anyone has tried and were pleased with the liquid clay bar and the new ice turtle wax?

I cant garage my car now due to house work being done.. so need some sort of quick and easy way to wax the car.

I LOVE the shine that ICE produces. It is probably the most insane shine I've ever seen.

And what it does on a semi-metallic is almost unbelievable.

My only complaint.... it sure doesn't seem to last(stay on) the car for long. The protection seems to go to pot in nothing flat.

As in a week or less than a month etc? The Zaino definitely seems to last a while. But the effort that goes into it. I just can't do that outside with the way pollen and stuff is right now.

I think I may go pick some up tomorrow and give it a whirl.

Liquid clay bars are junk .. they aren't worth the time it takes to buy them ..

there are a couple of other brands on the market, other than the turtle wax, and they don't work either ..

If you are going to clay, get a clay bar and do it correctly.
