Don't know about tropi-care never used them, but Zaino is proven and Most F-Body owners as well as myself will vouch for Zaino products!

As far as the Turtle Wax liquid claybar....It is worthless! Tried it out for ***** on my car and it brightened the paint up, but NOTHING beats a claybar or Zaino!

Just my .02

I am not trying to be a butthead, but they are a sponsor here, and have even posted in this thread. It would probably be appreciated if you didn't push someone else's stuff right in front of their face. (just my unsolicited $0.02)

Clay is Clay .. it is all made by clay magic, or made by a different vendor using the clay magic patent.

As for paint care products. I have used Tropi-care, and I will vouch for them .. plus.. Steve is more fun to talk to than Sal and is a Texas boy, instead of a pilgrim ..

We have been using and selling Clay Magic bars as our standard offering for surface contaminant removal since we started Tropi Care in 2003. We are very satisfied with its performance at this time.

The red Clay Magic bar will scratch the clear coat.

Wow, didn't mean to rustle anyones panties!! I was just stating a fact that I had never tried the tropi-care stuff before, didn't think that I would be "pushing someone else's stuff" and I know I am not the only one who has yet to try Tropi-care! I was just giving my opinion as to what to use....taking the fact of this particular thread and what has been asked!

Actually, I was thinking of giving you a call and picking up some of your stuff to try! I read what your product has done in some other threads, and just for reference, I am Not a Brand *****! I use all kinds of different products on different vehicles to obtain different results, so I know which is best for my T/A, so I don't have to end up paying out the *** for a new Paint Job (which I need anyways)

I sincerely apologize if you (Steve) were upset by any comments that I have made regarding certain brands of car care products.
