Default Don't buy turtle wax liquid clay bar ice!!!!!!!!!

Well I had some of the wax laying around and decided I would go over the truck with it since I washed it today. Said rub on and rinse of and towel dry. That is what I did and it dulled the paint out so bad that I am going to have to buff the whole truck again. I tried waxing a few areas like the instructions said and it still looks like sh*t. Called turtle wax and they offered my money back and I told them to stick up there a** that I wanted someone to come spend a day of there time helping me fix what there product f*cked up.

I used it and it worked beautifully. Did you wet the truck first? It says "rinse, rub on, rinse off, dry". I did that and dried with a shami (sp?) and it looks AWESOME.

Clay bar is intended to clean all the impurities from the paint/clear coat not give it shine.

Claybar Process:
wash with a wax remover (Zymol),
Clay-bar Body panels (use plenty of lubricant)
Wax with Carnuba Paste or Liquid and Buff

Or go through the Entire Zaino Process after the claybar if you have 12hrs

Same here, used the Turtle Wax Ice liquid clay then the Liquid Ice wax and it work great, not as good as a traditional clay bar but alot quicker.

the product is not worth the effort it takes to go to the store and buy it .. liquid clay bars have been around for years .. none of them work.

if you are going to put the time and effort into claying your car .. then get a real clay bar, and do it correctly..

Real claybar will leave your paint "looking" messed up as well. Claying is not meant to be a stand-alone process.
