Elite car car based in ascot, just google them. I know they sell them on their own. About a third of the bar should be enough to do the whole car, maybe half.........good luck ! |

Www.elitecarcare.co.uk do a clay bar that you can use with water as the lubricant, very easybto use, I just half the bar and that does the whole car. |

Just a quick additional question for the Detailing experts... If a car has been SupaGaurded I assume you can't use the clay bars? I'd bought a couple but never used them and now my new RRS is SupaGaurded I haven't had the guts to try for fear of ruining the Supagaurd. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

The Supaguard wont last that long anyway Endjin. The line about it lasting for 3 years is nonsense!! Its just a polish at the end of the day so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Bet you could get it shinier using a decent detailer!! Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

Never heard of clay before when using it do you just dip in water and use in the block form??

Not quite. Cut off a chunk, roll it to a ball then squash it down to a circle. Get a squirt bottle of lubricant to keep it slippy then gently work it over the body work and watch the dirt it takes off. Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

You can buy lubricant like Dodo Juice Born Slippy but some bars just need water. I've a bottle of water with some washing up liquid in it! A lot cheaper than shop bought! Think it was someone on here before said to use it. Worked fine with my old bar but haven't tried it with the new one yet. Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

Meguiars do a bottle and clay bar kit, you should be able to pick it up from any decent sized halfords and if you want see how to do it a demo video here:
