Default 1st time claying, RS197

Gave the Clio its first polish of 2012 2 weeks ago and noticed the surface of the paint was still very rough after, so last night at about 18:30 felt abit board and decided to have a liittle sesh, i purchased the clay at a show a few years back but never got round to using it until now, so, gave it a wash, now at this point i know i should have dried it and gone over it with tardis then iron-x but i did'nt i just got straight on with the clay, i used a mix of car shampoo and water as a lube, i found it much better than qd, then i rinsed it, towel dried it, then gave it a layer of Autosmart "Wax" and here it is,












what you think

If you polish your car anymore then you will be through to the base coat, you had better practice on mine instead.

Not a match for an impreza in a straight line or very fast open corners, but will easily keep up with a std sti in the twisties, buy mine if you like, 2 owners, 23k, price negotiable
