This was the first time i had clayed a car and the effects are amazing the paint is like glass to touch.





Well worth the time and effort.

Shone up well - by the way there is a strange guy taking photos of your car :-/

[HolyCount]

Bleedin' hell mate -- that's some shine 8-)  How long did that take you ?

[humbucker]

what clay did you use? any recommendations?

[Growler]

I spent about 6 hours on the car  

I used the Meguiars clay kit, pricey but works a treat.

The 6 hours were taken up by washing the car first and towling dry then the claying process which takes the time and then followed up with a polish and finally a wax coat. I also polished the glass and used good old Autoglym bumper care to shine up the plastic bits.

Shampoo = Meguiars Classic Gold £14 - £15
Clay kit = Meguiars detailing kit which comes with 2 bars of clay a drying towel and the lubricant £23ish
Polish = Meguiars Crystal Polish £9
Wax = Meguiars NXT(?) I don't remember the price. but did come with a applicator pad.

Where did you buy the kit from bud? If the results are like that then I need to buy me some clay.

I got mine in Halfords in Gloucester, they had all you need and most of the range.

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 !!
