I know the mothers clay bar works really well. It really cleans well, gets the sap off my dads car well.

I've never used a claybar on my 2000 Crown Vic (used as a daily driver in rain, snow, sleet, and shine), and the finish looks just as clean and smooth as the 2007 Mustang GT right off the transport truck.

alright well i was looking at it in my room before, its got a pad that goes kinda around ur hand, imagine a giant soft pad covering ur hand. the liquid clay itself squirts out onto the pad and u would use the pad as if it were an actual clay bar and supposedly it takes half the time of a normal clay bar
heres the description:

Unique 3 Layer System Contains A Stain Remover, Wash and Special Clay Compounds.
Removes Oxidation, Tree Sap, Road Tar, Swirl Marks and Surface Contaminants.
Very Easy To Apply and Use.
Does not contain harsh abrasives that can scratch or scuff your finish.
Rinses Clean Without Leaving Any Powdery Residue.

i guess its like a clay bar cuz it has clay compounds...what i noticed is u have to shake it cuz it looks like oil and vinegar when it settles, but when u shake it, its all mixed together lol...my description may suck, but i decided to take a chance on this thing and im gonna give it a shot hopefully ill have some good feedback

I have been looking for just the claybar but oyu have to buy it in a kit. I dont want the other crap that comes with it. I use Zaino. The kit is like $20. I dont mind the cost except that it comes with a tiny bit of clay. I want to do my 07 Shelby GT and my wifes explorer and maybe another car and I dont want to spend $100 to get enough clay and then toss out the other crap. It will be interesting to see if this stuff really works like regular clay. If anyone knows where you can just get the clay chime in please

You should be able to get 2 cars out of each mothers clay bar. The GT500 and the Explorer might be a bit of a stretch.

Here are a couple of places to get detailing clay. When you use your claybar always fold the dirty side into itself, so you always have a clean side. If you repeat this process and keep your clay in a sealed container it will last forever.

I don't understand the whole liquid clay thing when using a claybar is so easy in the first place, I can clay a car in 20 minutes.

I used the ICE liquid clay bar on my '07 edge, it did a great job, vehicle was dirty when we brought it home from the dealer.

Then waxed with Eagle one Nano wax.

I am very pleased, the final results are almost as good as the wifes '07 GT/CS that gets "pro" detailed right before being shown.

I will try Autozone today. I have tried NAPA and VIP Auto Parts....they are in Maine and NH only I think. All they had was the kit. I can just order from Zaino too but I have no patience and want it now!LOL Course if Id have just ordered it a week ago Id have it now. I have 2 bars I got last year when I bought my Zaino kit but Id rather start with a new one. MY kids and I did my 06 GT and Id feel better knowing for sure the new one hasnt hit the ground yet
