Didn't know T-cut did a clay kit.

My advice... use plenty of lubricant when claying and remember to keep rolling the clay about so you don't re-smear the crap on your bodywork. Oh, and before using, pop the clay bar into warm/hot water for 5 mins and it softens it up to be more malleable

make sure you wash the car properly first and when claying use plenty lubricant/water

but the best is the use Iron X, or wolf chemical wheel/brake dust cleaner before using clay ...these make the claying easier after (but will cost you abit as they are not cheap ...see polish bliss website ).

good luck m8 ...you'll feel really sore after a full detail/wax of yr car !!

I did mine recently. Had very good results.
As above, warm the clay up first and remember to keep turning it.

Good luck. Get some before and after pics too chap.

Good advice. Claying is addictive! Once you start, you`ve got to go on cos the results are so good. Run your hands over over the finished surface and just feel it! What are you going to treat it to after claying? Got to go and rub up against the Legacy I did last weekend; wife`s gone away so I`ll sit the kids in front of the ps3 and do the wrx tomorrow. Don`t work on hot panels, or out in the sun like it is at the moment;polishes and waxes dry out too quickly. Have fun, she`ll be moaning at you when you are saying "just one more panel, dear" hours later

Once clayed the car has a better surface for the polish/wax to work on and gives much better results....

I spent 2 days claying my car. I used Auto Glym bar and rapid detailer, to protect i then went over the car with Auto Glym ultra deep shine then finished with Auto Glym HD wax.
The results were out this wold. Started to find that Auto smart have some great products as well.
