Default !!! Results from liquid clay bar !!!

well finally got the clay bar done the first pic is a before with only a wash on the car no detailing .the others are after liquid clay bar and a small detail job.

First impression was i really enjoyed the simple use of this product very easy to use and results were actually pretty good imo.The car seems to have more of a deeper shine to it now and is a lot smoother than i have had it before.with just wash and hand waxing .I have no way of actually comparing it to a Clay bar since i have never used it but i would assume it would do a better job .But for the price i got this stuff for i was impressed with it to say the least. Now for the photos

BEFORE



AFTER Pics

I can see the difference. It looks shinier after the claybar. Your car is almost like mine. It shines with just a wash, but after you claybar and details, it just gleams a ton more. Get out from under them trees and into the sun and take non-blurry pics and you'll really see it.

ive used actualy clay bar and the liquid clay bar...

the liquid is a lot easier to use but doesn't do nearly as good a job as the clay... Both times, i washed, clayed, and waxed. It shined a lot better with the regular clay but the liquid took about half the time. IMO

Liquid Claybar is the equivalent to a "Touch-Free Car Wash". It just doesn't work AS good.

I thought clay bars are used to remove contaminations from the paint not shine it??http://www.zainostore.com/Merchant2/...oduct_Count=17

I dont know how this liquid claybar compares to the original but I doubt that it beats it. Seems more of a cleaner wax than anything else.

ya like i said i have no data to compare to the original clay bar being i have not used it .but like i said for quick touch ups or if you plan on a night out and want a quick shine then this stuff is great, added a deeper shine to mine ad looks wet in person even thaugh you guys cant tell from the pics im sure you could in person thaugh.The paint does feel alot smoother .it may not be a a clay bar but i was impressed with it .so i give it a 7 out of 10 ,

You should probably follow up with some sort of wax after that (assuming you're not polishing).

liquid clay bar is not worth the money or the effort. period.


ls1chris .. if you used the liquid clay and didn't was afterwards, you need to do it now. your paint is unprotected, and any bird crap, or tree sap or other kind of contaminant that hits it will do some damage .. (clear coat etching)

wax or seal it asap.
