I was going to ask where the link was too

Had to waste precious seconds and google for clay bars...

I take it you mean Chas, who is marginally better known than Tony Harts other famous creation he came up with for Blue Peter - The adventures of Paki the indian elephant!?!?!?

PS Not making it up, the things you can find with google...

Yeah, as i said, i did prefer Chas as he seemed to give a bit more pain to Tony Hart than Morph did.

Would Chas be better for silver cars, considering he is white and everything. I dont think there was a blue or black character

Paki the Indian Elephant!!! roflmao, that is one of the funniest things i have heard, ever!

(Do you think we better ask Chas and Morph to see if they mind being abused in this way)

It is meant to be good but you HAVE to seal the paint afterwards so make sure you have loads of time to do it as the kit I fancy has about 4 parts to apply.

Wash, Clay, Polish and Seal.......would take me about 4 - 5 hours to do the whole car properly.

Where do you fit in time to drive it!

Think I'll stick to a bucket of suds for now, washing cars has never been my strong point!

Just a thought...

A while ago I started a yorkshire japanese club forum - Yorkshire Japanese Car Club

Last year I did'nt have the time or enthuiasm to keep it going, but rahther than just have a single thread on SN, why not do soemthing a bit more?

EG Yorkshire Japanese Car Club www.yjcc.co.uk :: Index

Took me 2 mins to set up (a few more mins to configure if people are bothered) and if it keeps busy they'll keep it running, could point YJCC at it instead of the dead forum or just keep it as Sheffield Scoobies and change the naming, logos etc to fit?
