Will this remove impurities off of a chrome lip? Where can I get a clay bar (autozone, advanced auto parts)?

Advance, Auto-Zone, O'Reillys... I've even seen 'em at Wally World before. There're many brands of course, but personally I only trust Meguiars or Mothers... although, I saw a commerical for Turtle Wax ICE Liquid Clay Bar... anyone know anything more about it?

I got some silver overspray on my ride yesterday, lol, it was windy and I ran to try and block it

I ran inside and grabbed a micro fiber and tried to wipe it off but it dried very quickly. I elbow greased enough off, then grabbed the Meguiar's Scratch-X, it worked perfectly! Took all the silver paint off, even from my smoked tails.
