Look Here!
Lexx,
This is what you are looking for. I bought this stuff last week, the car is getting a good going over tomorrow, provided the weather stays dry. Let me know how you get on.
Cheers
WB

I used this stuff for the first time last week on my Black Mica WRX. Amazing results! You do need plenty of lubrication, though or the marks where the clay sticks are a right ******* to get out!
My bonnet has always had a slight milky haze from new which would not polish off. The Quick Clay has shifted it and left a deep,dark shine.
Top product, if a bit unlikely!

as stated above, don't be shy with the quick detailer/lubricant spray, it's not like it's something you'll be doing week in week out

Top stuff, use as described on instructions, keep clay bar on a clean surface when using it. Wax after for a perfect finish and you can use a warm soapy water instead of the Quik Detailer, the clay just needs a lubricant to glide over the surface. Use your Quik Detailer for in between waxes. As mentioned www.autopia-carcare.com is a great site.

No its not just soapy water, its a cleaning solution used between waxes to keep a just waxed look, use it after washing etc. The soapy water is a substitute for it when using a clay bar - the clay needs a lubrication.
Meguiars sell it as a kit so the Quik detailer is the best stuff to use but when you run out of it or want to keep it for other cleaning projects substitute it for the soapy water. Again www.autopia-carcare.com is a great site.

Got some today.Didn't make too much of a difference on the Scoob...it gets washed and polished 2/3 times a week. Made a world of difference on wifes car...That gets washed once a week or so but no Zymol. The panels i have done on it look amazing. Bargain at £11 from a Halfrauds near you
