Attacked my blob with a clay bar and a Meguiars G220 today
Here are some pics taken today after a clay bar and Meguiars step 2 polishing session:
The Meguiars G220 is a godsend
Didn't get a chance to apply any wax today, i've covered her up and will be giving her a couple coats of wax asap.

Thanks for the comments guys 
Thanks mate, i used a auto-clay clay bar. Highly recommend it, it is very easy to use and can be lubricated using water.
I had no problems at all with it, aslong as you keep the panel lubricated i cant see the auto-clay bar doing any damage tbh.
The only thing bugging me is that i couldnt remove a few spots of tar that have baked themselves onto a couple of the panels over the last few months. I spent hours using tardis but couldn't get them off, has anyone got any tips/suggestions on how to get these blasted things off? Oh and i ran out of tyreshine

Engine bay is filthy at the moment 
still running the stock engine, the knocking sound was a loose plug on the 3rd cylinder! I found it a couple of weeks back when i went to change the plugs, the last time they were changed was at the main dealer service 20k miles ago. I also had an issue with it smoking on startup and when it was standing in trafic but this stopped as soon as i fitted an oil catch can with the original pcv still plumbed in. The old boy is running very well
