Liquid Clay

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.

Will do, thanks.

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.

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.

and be sure NOT to smoke or allow any sort of flame anywhere near EITHER of
these two products.

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.

How is it everything except a handwash is bad?
