USCGRetiredJosh Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 So I decide to see how much better the visco clay bar is compared to the old clay bar and below are my findings. (My little science test) Test subject: Wifes 2010 4Runner that she's owned since 2011(Previous owner didn't take care of it at all) Detail spray as lube. Left side hood, front bumper, and front panel: blue clay bar first and then followed up with visco clay Right side hood, front bumper, and front panel: Visco clay by itself. First 2 pic are before shots. Next pic is showing new clay bars. Blue clay bar after doing the Left side as stated above. Next 2 pics are Visco after going of Left side after blue clay bar. Then the pic of Visco clay doing the Right hand side by itself. The last 3 pics are after shoots. My Conclusion on blue clay vs Visco clay: I found that the Visco clay pulls more contamination from the paint than the blue. If you look a the picture of the blue clay and visco clay side by side, you can see that the visco pulled more contamination after the blue clay bar went first. Other info to add: I had my wife feel the hood to see if she felt a difference on either side and she said no. I followed up with paint sealant until I get time to correct and finish her vehicle. The vehicle needs a paint job due to lack of care from previous owner. Any questions ask away. Schell21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Nice comparison. I like this new clay for the reason you mentioned. Seems to be more like the old gray clay. A lot stickier than the blue. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryC Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Adam's gray is definitely stickier than the blue, which helps it pull more contamination, but I found that the tradeoff is more marring specifically on softer paint. I prefer to use the blue on my G8's paint because the clear is soft, and use the gray everywhere else (especially the wheels) since it does a much better job at removing particulate. Nice front plate by the way Rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCGRetiredJosh Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I hate that front plate, remember it's the wife's car. I'm grew up in Charlotte NC so I'm a Panthers fan and Roll Tide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks for the experiment, its always great to get some real world resuilts that one can see Tides come and tides go... But PATS FANS are here to stay! GerryC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabellg Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Thanks for the test. I've only used the only sticky gray clay and the blue clay. I'm almost due for another order of clay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacificNWBuckeye Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I never had the blue only the older grey and found them close in particulate removal, but the Visco Clay is so much more pliable at a larger temp range. The old grey clay would be like a brick if it was on the colder side when getting out early to start detailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
