Default Very impressed!!

Decided to clay bar my car yesterday, never used one before so thought i'd give it a go. Have to say i was pleased with the results although my arms are killing me today!!











Love this reflection shot



This was just after doing one door

Good job mate them claybars are good I always reccomend them to everyone you don't realise how dirty your car is after a wash until u use a clay bar it's worth doing your wheels after aswell

I used Meguiars clay kit, get the quick detail to lubricate the claybar and after wax with it.

Looking very good, but the DBM cars look clean even when they are dirty

This is true tbh, but feeling the paintwork before and after is the difference

Good work. And as an added bonus, like you said, bet the paintwork now feel smooth like a baby's butt.

As said, a good polish and wax to seal that shine.

Did the same thing to mine on Saturday. Would put some pics up but not stopped raining since. Dont be tempted by the turtle wax clay kit its rubbish. I ended up buying a Meguirs clay bar to finish.

Autoglym Super Resin Polish and then Autoglym wax on afterwards to keep the shine

The Meguirs claybay is a great product. I also have the Meguiars 3 step which I hope to get round using as soon as I have 5hrs to kill!
