You can't beat a clay bar, period. The liquid stuff can't compare.

yes it works good, but i would rather break down and actaully do a real full claybar.
the liquad clay is more of just an abrasive wax

i used it and did not like the outcome, went back to my meguiers gold, it leaves a nice clean look to the car, like dealership glossy look, but the meguiers always left that car show mirror reflection shine. And it sometimes leaves some glare streaks.

There is the liquid ice wax and the liquid ice clay bar formula. The normal name, liquid ice, just refers to the wax.

I Use It, It's Works Fine, But The Sponge Tends To Get Pretty Dirty After Use. But After I Finish The Botel Ima Give The Megiurs Gold Clay Bar A Try...

ok, after reading further i do see there is liquid ice "clay bar" sorry, but i still doupt anything works as good as the regular clay bar. the wax is good though, only because i think it seems to be an easier way of waxing. quick/easy/affective

Sorry, I made the assumption you were referring to the clay bar. No clue why.

i dont know. id rather use eagle one nanowax that stuff works awesome. or meguiars yellow wax with carnuba but i mean if your looking to do a quick wax then the liquid ice is the way to go because it applys quick and comes off quick. as for the liquid claybar, it will never work like a real clay bar.

Spend $16 for a product that lasts 2 weeks? Do you guys like being ripped off?

Yeah no ****. If you want to stay with OTC stuff, get some Meg's #26 or Mothers California Gold. They're the same price and will more than likely last more than two weeks.
