Default Claying your car!

I usually use clay mothers clay bars on my cars.
I was wondering if you guys use any liquid clay with a buffing wheel that produces the same outcome as clay bars. I used it once but it left scratches since it did not lift up the dirt properly. Was I doing something wrong?
But just seeing what liquid clay's you guys use, where you get it from, and if is better than hand claying?

Thanks!

If I was you, I'd go with a NANO skin auto scrub. Start with the windows with new kits, then work your way to your car. It will cut the time spent using the standard clay bar in half. You should check on Detailer's domain (CL Vendor approved) for pricing of this products, as well as looking at the DD forums, look in the "show and shine" section. If you're stuck at a decision point, pm detailersdomain (Phil) and his team does AWESOME work! GL

I didn't know about the liquid clay bar until I saw this thread either. It sounds cool.

Theres been a liquid clay bar offered by Surf City Garage for quite some time. I had a sample of it from 2010 when I went to SEMA. Its ok, nothing worth praise
