Finally got me stuff from the recent WW group buy.

Read the instructions and it seems quite straightforward.

Anybody got any useful tips before I start?

Seems to me that I need to allow a whole day for it. Am I right?

Took me about 8 hours- but was being very leisurely & had cups of tea whenever it said in the instructions

And that was without soaking the engine bay, I am far to wary to be pointing a hosepipe or pressure-washer under the bonnet.

Just got the wheels left to do now.

Don't use too much wax. It doesn't need much, treat it like goldust (or some other fractionally cheaper item)

How long does it take to use the clay bar?

Bexlee

It perhaps took me an hour or so? But I guess it will very much depend on the condition of your car, eg how many stubborn tar spots etc that you have.

Biggest tip is "use sparingly".

The WW products are exceptionally good, but it is too easy to try to use them in the same way as the "normal" stuff you could get from Halfords.
Use a TINY bit of shampoo in a bucket of water for washing.
Use VERY SMALL amounts of cleanser (if you are doing that step) spread over a large body area (just rub harder!).
Use TINY amounts of wax, spread over a VERY large area when waxing.

Especially for the wax step - if it's hard work, you're probably doing it wrong!

And CALL MARK! He has a help line set up for all kinds of questions - USE IT! It's part of the exceptional WW service that you pay for when you buy his products. He's a really nice bloke, and will be happy to talk you through everything you need to do.
