I have never used them... they are nicely packaged and marketed but like most the OTC products the results are short term. There is better available.

The liquid clay is crap .

I was wondering about that. Never used it, but it always catches my eye when I go into stores.

Their spray wax is pretty good, and gives a nice gloss, but it lasts a very short amount of time

Typical OTC results. As Dale stated, the Liquid Ice Clay is total garbage......

The stuff contains silicone. From a machine polishing perspective, silicone is bad! Have fun trying to get the stuff off of the surface without the proper chemicals...I just dealt with this the past few days.

If thats the one thats the colored wax .. its just full of fillers and seems amazing cuz it temporarily fills the swirling.

Add the Ice car wash at Costco to the "total garbage" list.

Cost, is relative to effort and ease of use. Theres not a lot of us that worry all that much about durability as were obsessed with car care anyway.

I use the meguiars synthetic sealant. The stuff is pretty amazing, goes on easy, wipes off easy and literally can last about 6 months. Made it through all last winter and in the early spring the rain drop still just sat on the car. I won't use anything else. It also gives the paint a very soft feel and nothing sticks to it.
