I'm going to try this claying thing next week, weather permitting ... as I didn't get my lessons at Newent it'll be trial and error !!  

Just remember to keep the clay on the wet stuff!!

Apply the spray to the car body,m mould the clay into the shape of the palm of your hand and then gently move it over the liquid, if it drags a bit then you know that it has either dried out or you have moved off the wet.

when the surface of the clay gets dirty, scrunch it up, knead it and reshape it.

it can take a fair few hours to to an entire car, make sure the car is not in direct sunlight (not much chance of that currently) and the panel work is not too hot as it will evaporate the liquid....

you will get a feel for it once you are on your way, and when you feel the paintwork after it has been done it will feel really smooth

Hi,

If you're looking for car-care products, we stock a few assorted Meguiars products at www.shinycars.co.uk.

We are a fairly new Business based in the north east of England, but we are trying to build stock and offer competative prices.

Please feel free to have a look around. E-mail us if there are any products out there that you use and would like us to start stocking.

I use Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo along with Autoglym Resin Polish and Aquawax myself and am more than pleased with the results I have been getting. The 'Nautilus Blue' has a really deep look to the shine. I'll try and sort some pics out next wash (next sunny day). 8-)
