meguires clay bar kit is the best value ive found and the wax that comes with it is also very good,also allow a weekend to do the car properly and the results will be amazing,ive done my mv6 last year and came up a treat,gave the cabby a quick going over with the kit and that also came up really well,also use the meguires 3 step,paint cleaner,polish and then wax for even better results

I've used Meguiars lube and bar and agree it is very good , but only recently bought a bar off Ebay and made up my own lube using water and a little car shampoo.
No difference from the Meguirs kit and a lot cheaper.

Bilt Hamber Autoclay. Ten quid a box that'll do four Omegas, and only needs water as lube so it works out much cheaper. And results are brilliant

Interestingly, that's what I tried based on numerous good reviews.
Tried it several times on 3 different cars.
And I can't honestly see or feel any difference between using it and not. I even tried a couple of non-scientific tests of claying half a panel, but still couldn't see a difference.
So I haven't bought any more, and that saves me probably 2 hours when I polish a car.

However, I am now a big fan of synthetic polish; it's even easier to use and longer lasting than the Mer that I'd always used previously

Depends how bad the paint is to begin with - and it does take quite a bit of working compared to the Meguiars kit, IME. I've found it makes a hell of a difference.
