Lutzcat Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 There's a few members here that know how I treat my car, daily driver, very rarely protected. Hell, it sits underneath oak trees most of the time, stains from leaves, rust water from sprinklers, accidentally washed from the from none filtered water on several occasions. It had been awhile since I did a good cleaning on the car so I used several products on test areas to see what would work best. I had stains on the white stripes, blue to black stains on the red paint from leaves and rust water. The stripes were nearly yellow. I had stains below the back window panels that I thought would never come out, (like gas stains) Yesterday, I used Mothers clay bar, Maguires clay bar, Turtle ice clay bar liquid, Iron out solution with warm water, 10 percent bleach, Simple green, Turtle tar remover, (spray), on test sections on the car. Turtle ice clay bar liquid turned my car better than new, the regular clar bars didn't put a dent in the stains on the stripes. I'm a little concerned how potent the Turtle liquid clay bar is though, on the car. The difference in the test was like day light and dark. But anyway, the Shelby looks better than new now.

shelby111 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 I used Maguires clay bar and got good results. With Maguires, you spray on the detailer to get the surface wet and then rub the clay on it. Is that how Ice clay bar works? I use the Ice wax; works great. Also are there any known risks of using clay bar too often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Lambert Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hey Scott - now all I need to complete the story is a picture of your Pretty New Car!

Fastbackman Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Was this the liquid clay bar or the new kit they have on the market that comes with a clay bar? I have some liquid clay but haven't used it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shack Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I tried the ICE Liquid Clay Bar and was quite unhappy with the results - didn't seem to do anything at all on my Xterra. After that got the Maguires Smooth Surface kit and that worked wonders and the sap and other stuff on the Xterra and the Shelby was better than when I signed the papers.

Grunnsetning Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I have used the ICE liquid clay and its trash, wouldn't even use it on my wifes 2004 pathfinder. I think ICE has a actual clay bar also now but I haven't used it. I only use NXT and zaino products now. Soon it'll be zaino only when I run out of NXT.

twobjshelbys Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I tried the Ice liquid clay bar and didn't use it again. I use the Maguiars kit with the real clay bar and a spray bottle of Maguiars detailer - you'll run out of detailer quickly so I used a bottle of Ice detailer I had and both work equally well. For "wax" I used the Ice paste on my Mustangs and they look great. I tried two coats of the Ice liquid polish on my Cobra and it looks great. I don't wash the Cobra so I mostly use detailer and a microfiber cloth to clean it... Doing so depletes the polish but the car is so small it takes only about 20 minutes to go over it again with the liquid polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I only use NXT and zaino products now. Soon it'll be zaino only when I run out of NXT. Amen brother. I'm extremely happy with Zaino. Wouldn't even think of using anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
