I bought some ICE Liquid Clay Bar. Is that as good as the regular clay bar?

eordonez · 11-16-2008, 02:06 PM

So yesterday i detailed the truck, wash, clay, polish and wax, and now its all dusty again, are those dust removers safe, or will they scratch the paint??

Hey ED I would just shoot it w/the hose and blot it dry-you never know what abrasive stuff is in that dust!

I use the Cali Dusterall the time, no added weight, just glide it over the paint then follow up with a quick detail spray

I haven't used all of these products yet, But I try different waxes when the come out and until last year I thought Fleetwax was the best but you guys have to try if you haven't already Turtle's new one it's called "ICE" I personally like the paste but they have both. You can wax just about anything on your truck. For example, when I was younger I'd wax my car then I would armour all the black platic and the excess wax would discolor the black but ICE I waxed my bed,bumber and all the rubber window edges and it looks just as if you armouralled it. No white residue just pure shine.

How would I go about getting a stain from something black (I'm guessing its eyeliner) outta my TRD seat?
