Before anyone says anything, dont get your shorts in a knot about using "easy" products. MY '03 TL-S is a road car, I have driven almost 20k in the last 10 months, this is not a show car or something I want to have to rub on all weekend. Having said that I do keep the car very clean, its washed about every other weekend and the interior is always well kept.

I try to clay bar and wax in the spring and fall. This fall I just dont have the time or the desire to make the time to get through the whole process using a traditional clay bar and paste/liquid wax. I have seen that Turtle Wax has come out with a liquid clay bar and I know that there are several "rinse off" wax products. So I am wondering if any of you other time pressed folks are using these products and is so which ones?

I would appreciate any feedback on liquid/rinse clay bars and waxes and if you were happy with how they performed. Again I am not going for hardcore perfection here, I just want to out some bug guts, tar, road grim and maybe a few swirls.

Thanks, Giff

 

Actually, people might their shorts in a bundle due to the fact that the search button wasn't used.

I gathered from the posts that users got mediocre results. I have learned if you are going to do something, do it right the first time and you will always save time and effort. Claying a car really doesn't take long. Maybe 20-30 minutes. How long does it take to apply liquid clay?

 

Oh damn, you took the words right out of my mouth.......

 

If you get the regular mothors/megs kit with claybar, (fancy playdoh) color cleaner and a polish, then you use wax (seperate purchase) over that.
It took 3 guys 3 hours at a casual sunday pace to do everything to my 01 TL that was in need and didnt know it- now the metal flake pops

I am using the Turle Wax ICE liquid for ease of application- extra shiny

Do a section at a time on the car with the bar and products and soon all you need to do is throw some liquid wax on it once a month or so to protect

Those wash and dry waxes suc IMO- and they are dust magnets

Waxing your rims fights brake dust buildup too
