Just get a Megs quick clay kit, comes with clay and the detailer spray as a lube, if you have any detailer spray left you can keep it and use it for quick wipe overs

Youll be amazed how much stuff can come off in a short time on the road, if your giving it a good polish its worth it in my opinion |

JasV6HSE has got it right, plenty of lube for the clay bar and light strokes etc twice a year should be good and yes it will make a big difference etc. watch the water dissapear when you rinse after the next wash. run your finger over the car before you clay and you will feel all the contaminants etc. then agian after clay it should be super smooth like polished glass.

Claying is the single most important part of cleaning a car. Can't stress that enough |

If you don't clay the car then you are just rubbing contaminants into the paintwork and creating swirls!

Excellent work......looks amazing. Just use a rapid Detailer to top it up each day and you may never have to wash it for a week!! Or if it needs it, just rinse it off with a hose and dry it off....... |

Thanks Nick and thanks for your advice. Ha ha I bet you thought I was crazy ringing you up and asking how the hell I used the clay. But once you get used to it, it does seem quite easy.
