Liquid Clay Bar

Turtle Wax® ICE™ Liquid Clay Bar is a revolutionary new way to deep clean and restore your car's finish in a fraction of the time it takes with traditional clay bars. A unique triple layer formula consists of a scratch & swirl remover, cleaning agents and an exfoliant that work together to provide outstanding cleaning capabilities.

Easily removes minor scratches, swirls marks, tree sap, paint overspray and embedded dirt and stains that ordinary detailing clays leave behind.

Creates smooth as glass finish on all paintwork, fiberglass and metal surfaces.
Does not contain harsh abrasives that can scratch or scuff your finish.

I've heard of it, but haven't had a chance to try it out myself. With that said, I have a hard time believing it will be as effective as a regular clay bar.

Automotive clay is not a replacement for polish or a compound; it is a pliable, petroleum resin product, (Polybutylene) containing a mild abrasive(s) i.e. kaolin, silica sand, calcium carbonate, alumina, ceramics quartz and also silicon carbide that polishes and exfoliates bonded surface contaminants by shearing, which is then encapsulated by the clay resin. These abrasives are extremely small with an average particle size of 1- ***181; (micron) dependant on the aggressiveness required, mixed in with a powdered synthetic detergent.

This sounds like a polish (as it has no means of encapsulation (i.e. a Polybutelene mallable bar)
