Anyone try these products? I am more interested in the liquid clay bar:

I was also looking at the car polish:

Just wanted to know what you guy's opinions are on these items... I got a 2003 NBP TL and was using Mequirs NXT for a long time... I zainoed the car one time and did not feel the price was worth it.... I live in Houston, we go through car wash product fast.... so Zaino would be mad expensive....

I use the wash soap (now available at Costco) and am happy with it. Never tried the other stuff though.

I am a little leary of the description though:

"Turtle Wax® ICE™ Liquid Clay Bar is a revolutionary new way to deep clean and restore your car's finish in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional clay bars. A unique triple layer formula consists of a scratch & swirl remover, cleaning agents and an exfoliant that work together to provide outstanding cleaning capabilities."

Sounds like a "wonder product", and I am concerned it may not do ANY of those things well. Have you tried a traditional claybar? They are really easy to use, and pretty fast too (20 minutes for the whole car).

Additionally, they call their wax a "polish", but from the description, it appears to have NO polishing agent at all. Why not call it a liquid wax?


There are sooo many good polishes and waxes out there. Are you specifically looking for OTC stuff?

I've used the Ice Polish on my friend's 02 Tahoe before and it came out pretty good (see pic below). I believe stogie is right about the polish not being a polish. I started a thread about the liquid clay bar a little while back if you want to look for that.


we hadn't cleaned the wheels yet.

The liquid clay description given by TW sounds like it's an all in one product. Traditional claybars will not remove any swirls or paint defects. Someone last summer did a review of TW Ice and it's durability and longevity was suspect. That said, I'll stay with 'ol rubadub clay, polish and LSP. Just maybe and strictly out of curiosity, I may try the LQ just to see how it fares.

I have used the ice wax and it makes the car look nice but doesnt last too long. I only got 3 waxes out of a bottle too so the price wasnt the best. I have the liquid clay bar and really didnt have a lot of luck with this product. I think it did a good job at removing old wax and maybe a few other things that I picked up over the MI winter, but I really had to work at it to get this product to remove some things that seem like easy target for a real clay bar. I found some spots that were superficial and had to resort back to the bug and tar remover. It just seems that the clay bars you buy are the same price as this product but maybe perform a little better.

I've tried the ice polish. It's very easy to apply. Applying a thin layer takes about 10 minutes. Wait 3 to 5 minutes to haze. Wipe off the excess and buff with a towel. I've done 4 cars already, and have only used 1/4 of the bottle. So I figure I'll probably get around 16 applications out of the bottle. Not bad for $16. $1 a wax. Not very durable though.

ive used the polish and its pretty good but its the first time polishing so i couldnt really compare it to any other product

it hides scratched well, but doesn't last long and it's a bear to get it off IMO.

i purchased the liquid clay this past weekend. It worked somewhat, but did not remove everything. I could still feel bumps as I ran my hand along my car. I have a feeling that a real clay bar would do a better job. Also, it did not really remove any swirls like advertised. I will probably be purchasing a real clay bar next time.
