Andorra 2011 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Fuji White

I put Oputimum opti seal all over the lower plastic trims and steps.....a months on and it's doing a grand job....
A quick jet blast and they're all gleaming again...
Saves getting too much grit in the bucket..... grit guard or not ..

The steps in particular seem to attract and collect a whole load a Censored 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Santorini Black

Quite a few cay ars out there guys adve above link to maguiers on cleanyourcar has a review which says the bar itself is very small at only 50g.

Are there other recommendations out there? I assume a fine grade is suitable ather than medium/aggressive? TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

Regular is quite aggressive, IMO

make sure you use plenty of water misted on to the area your working on, and make sure it's supple, use 2 pieces one not been used left in some hot water and keep swapping, aswell as folding and folding the piece your using to lock away the particles it's removed Thumbs Up

Enjoy, it's quite therapeutic Thumbs Up

Thanks for the advice. Will be careful unless you think it's too aggressive? TDV8 HSE, Remap (+45 BHP + 100 Nm), Taylored sport exhaust system by Pipe Werx

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Santorini Black

For what it's worth I found a link (on the Bilt Hamber web site) to an AutoExpress 'road test' of various clay bars which rated the Bilt Hamber Regular clay bar in first place (the Soft version was rated in third place).

You should be ok, I only use my BH reg before polishing as I found a slight bit of marring occurred, but BH soft took longer

The marring could have been due to lack of sufficant lube/water

I think it would be handy for npinks to do a proper job on my car, whilst I take pics (from my deck chair), maybe a few minutes video too.
We could then post this up for you to check at regular intervals.
Obviously I wouldn't charge for lending my car for such an important tutorial.

What day are you free npinks?

Laughing i wish I could take you up on that and have time to do something

but I just don't have any free time at all, with work and kids, and when I do it rains or she has other plans

I was going to go shooting this morning, then wash the cars even though it was raining, but very little sleep with my 2yr old having chicken pox, then for my son to get it just as she got over them, so I'm up all night this week also by the looks of it Big Cry
