The reviews are not good for the Liquid clay bar, but they do say it has its uses.

Richard knows his stuff, what he says I believe, so I'm not going to waste the money on the product.

I used it this week but have no real comparison, never used a clay bar before. My car is only a few months old so I figure it may not need to be "clayed" but I did buy both the liquid and a mother's kit so next time I will use the clay kit. Over all it did seem to clean the car pretty well, more that just a wash and the paint felt pretty smooth after. It was pretty fast and easy to use, just wipe then rinse. I will post some pics. tonight.

I would suggest trying Meguiar's products, they are top notch.

I'd say use a real clay bar. For over the counter applications, Meguiar's or Mother's are both good brands in terms of claying.

As for that liquid polish, it's quite useless if applied by hand. You almost have to have a machine polisher to actually achieve good results. So I'd say no to that liquid polish.

The reviews are not very flattering. Once I get my back bumper repainted, Ill be doing a clay "barring" to my '99 GS4 so it looks like the pimp-mobile that it is.
