As above. I have done a before and after pics. The before pics are of when I washed the car at work and one of my staff then polished it. The after pics are when I went and bought the clay kit and spent the time doing it then buffed it up with the pro buffer.
The before I clayed the car after I washed her then had it polished.

If you buy the kit from halfrauds the instructions are on there. But for a quick guide,
First wash the car and leather dry, then spray the detail wax on over a panel and use the clay. Once you have finished use the microfibre cloth and wipe dry. Continue all over the car (car must NOT be hot to touch and in the shade) then stand back and look at the results.
HTH

Just a thought but does anyone from Reading reconise the place in the background at all?

I do, but is the fact that you told me you were going there count as cheating.
Does look good though mate, told you the Clay Bars were the way to go :)

Looks good - certainly worth the effort.
The photos would have looked so much better if you'd blacked up the tyres too though!

Wash car (people use different methords i use the two bucket one)
Dry car with leather or water magnet (i use the water magnet picks the water up better in my opinion)
Spray detailer on (which comes in the meguires kit) and then rub clay over the area you just sprayed (be carefull not to rub the clay on the body work with no detailer on as you could rub clay into the paint)
I tend to go panel by panel and do small amounts at time then dry the panel with the microfiber cloth you get in the kit.
Follow that with polish and then the wax.
Pro's wash and dry the car again after its been clayed and then polish followed by wax.
So i have read anyway.
Looking good vx1.
