Liquid Clay

Thread rating:  |
Adrian Gruber - 17 May 2005 15:05 GMT I'm looking for a shop that sells "Glare Liquid Clay". My 02 White GT's finish is taking a beating and a car wash attendant said I need to have my car's finish restored using a clay bar or liquid clay. Normally I would compound the car but the guy said compounding would affect the clear coat. Due to heavy construction on the Florida Turnpike my car suffers from tar and oil overspray. Any help finding this product is appreciated.

Just go buy the Mother's clay bar kit. It comes with the clay bar, the lubricating spray which is also the detail spray AND a bottle of Mother's cleaner wax. All for ~$15.I've used it. Very time consuming, but it works wonders even on extremely oxidized paint. What's cool with clay is you can actually hear and feel the contaminants coming off the car. Once you don't hear anything (kinda like sandpaper scraping VERY quietly) the contaminants are all gone. Move to the next section.

SVTKate - 17 May 2005 18:39 GMT You can use something like good old fashioned paint thinner (Lowes, Home Depot) on tar and it will cut the tar if it's fairly fresh. Might make your job easier. Follow up with a good wash with Dawn dish soap. This will strip all the thinner and wax from the car, gets it squeaky clean.

SVTKate - 17 May 2005 18:43 GMT NOTE I said PAINT thinner - it's oily and will not harm the paint. DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER! It will ruin your paint.

Or denatured alcohol, which won't do anything to the paint. paint thinner shouldn't either, but why take the chance. I use denatured alcohol on my '69. Still haven't waxed it yet. :)

I would begin hand washing it myself and using the entire line of Mother's products to include the clay bar & detailing spray.
Oh did I mention to not take your car through an automated car wash?

Richard - 18 May 2005 03:39 GMT Are you including the "touchless" high pressure washes as well? I thought that the old style ones with the rotating brushes and/or felt strips were all history by now.

The harshness of the chemicals that they use as well as the extreme high pressures. In other automated systems there is also the components that actually touch your car such as whirling brushes and rollover dryers.
Wash your car as you would your pecker. You want a high pressure pecker wash with industrial strength chemicals?

To bridge the above mental image across the gender gap and keep a somewhat parallel meaning, you'd have to wash your car as you would your pussy, right? With that in mind, re-wash your car and tell us how is was this time.

Ok, I reconsidered. I went back to the master bedroom, went into the bathroom and drew a nice warm bath. Got some fresh towels and hung them nearby. Pulled out the fragrant shampoos that have not been used in a long while, maybe too long.
Grabbed the sleeping cat off of her cushion and tossed her in There was Yowling, scratching, biting and water EVERYWHERE!
I fought with her, finally grabbed her front paws and held her while I scrubbed her all over with shampoo.
I had to chase her down the hallway, she was flinging water everywhere as she went, wet fur, evil looks and then she hid under the couch.
I'm telling you, washing a pussy ain't NUTHIN like washing a Dick! I have washed him MANY times and he doesn't put up a fight like this!
But, at least my pussy smells all clean and fresh!
Happy???
Hand me the ointment and a band aid, will ya?

Keith Warren - 20 May 2005 18:09 GMT You go Girl! :-) Nice lead-in then you nailed him to the wall.
Since we are so far OT.....
What I don't understand is that my cat will gladly run outside and play in the rain all day long.... but just try and carry him through the door into the bathroom and he suddenly makes himself a 6ft wide claw-filled saber-toothed flesh-destroying Wildcat.
Back OT
Have you ordered your '06 Shelby yet?

Mine too, but once I get her in, she really seems to enjoy it. When I soak in the tub, bubbles and all that, she comes in and plays in the bubbles by reaching her "arm" into them as far as it will go.
Oh, well, back on topic... Yea, right.... like THAT's gonna happen! I've been trying to talk hubs into a supercharger for four years, you think he's gonna cough up for a Shelby? NFW!
On the same day that Tom Selleck decides he wants to spend a weekend with me under the covers.

memset@recorddeal.com - 18 May 2005 18:47 GMT Sorry, but I don't agree with "everything except a handwash is bad". Just a preference of some people I think.
High-pressure isn't bad. I hand-wash Elizabeth when I can, but it isn't easy when you live in an apartment complex. And so I'll take a high-pressure wash over NO wash any day.

SVTKate - 18 May 2005 23:17 GMT I haven't had the best of luck with automatic washers. Had one with the little straps rip my driver's side mirror off while I sat and watched in horror. Every time I go through a touch free it blows about a gallon of water inside the car whee the top meets the windows.
Now that I live in the boonies and my driveway is not paved, I have troubel even with a hand wash. If I wash it on the lawn, grass and mud get on the tires befoer I even get it dry and if I wash it in the driveway then the goo in the gravel splashes up every time you use the hose and you never get it clean.
One of these days I am going to get a concrete pad poured out there.
