Had a bit of spare time so i thought i would try clay bar for the first time, i was amazed with the results and the paint is now very smooth (still need more practice at it tho) dont think i got the technique right lol

we could of clay bared it for you anth didnt know you wanted it doing,youre paintwork is pretty good anyway cant believe you had it dirty already you will get the hang of clay baring just time consuming,only ever done ours once as it always washed and polished so no crap builds up on it. but looking good

I could do with some advice on this subject. I keep talking about doing it but never get round to it. My paintwork feels rough to the touch and I'm pretty sure there is a fair build up of inclusions. If its time consuming I can probs do a bit each night and progress my way round the car.
Give me some recommendations ref products if you dont mind.

I didnt think you's done the clay bar but will bare it in mind for next time lol, The car was filthy lol i was late for my night shift so put me tool bag in the car and went to gateshead, all the way there i was thinking i hope my car is still clean but it wasnt lol.
I bought the T-Cut clay bar kit £22 from halfords and it was pretty easy but i am sure i was doing it wrong, i didnt know if you need to just wipe it over the bodywork or really get stuck in but took me about 3 hours.

i would love to spend all day cleaning it but i have 3 young kids and within minutes my car is full of sticky little finger prints, so 3 hours is about right for me any longer and the little ones would be banned from going anywhere near it lol
