Just emailed Angry Birds. Response straight back.

"If you've ordered anything from this site after Jan 11, it won't ship until March". Plastered all over the website as well :(

Re: What have you ordered?

I would only use a glaze for filling swirls but your right they do look good. Id sooner lay down a good strong sealant and then top it off with a wax. especially after a full machine polish.

If your paintwork is covered in bonded contaminates which it will be then they will transfer to your pad/s when polishing, which will then marr the f**k out of your paintwork. Ill admit ive done it before, polished a car without claying and I really struggled and had to keep washing my pads every pannel because they were covered in s**te. Especially the bottom half of the doors and front quater pannels.

Its not a huge job atall. I wash the car, drag it into the garage and then dry the car. I then go round the car claying it with last touch as a lube or any quick detailer I have lying about (so long as its not synthetic) and just wipe each pannel dry with the towel after claying it. Last touch (and other detailers) are a good drying aid and can be used to spritz a pad before polishing. Yes, it is a must. I clay atleast once a year, usually every 6 months. Your last stage products such as wax or sealant will bond better too.

A machine polish will take you a good 4-5 hours I rekon, maybe less if youve done it before, claying takes a short period of time if you work quickly.

Why cant you use synthetic detailrs to clay? Synthetic has the highest lubricity out of all detailers. Plus it can be diluted and still be used as a clay lube. As a bit of a tip, when youve finished claying a panel, dont wipe over the area with a mf that is bone dry as bits that arent wet can still cause friction and marr. Your best bet is to wet a mf and ring it right out till its moist, safer pickup ;)

Some synthetic detailers add protection and whats the point. That said last touch still adds a bit of wax apparantly. I dont know if that last piece of advice was aimed at me or not but generally i spray down the pannel and clay block, clay the pannel then wip eover to dry it witha drying towel.

Because most clay bars cant stand the polymer formula and will slowly start to pick up less contamination and fall apart (at least thats my experience :) )

Ordered an Autobrite HD Foam Lance along with 5L of their Magifoam earlier. Also get 500ml of their Super Snow Foam free :approve:

This is definitely the last stuff I buy for a while.

All depends what clay bar your using and i use it diluted which hasnt the same effect ;). If you only use a clay bar once as i do then you will prob not even see the effects. I know a lot of people who use shampoo which is reknown for recking them!!
 
Re: What have you ordered?

More German Applicators. Four to be precise. Because I love them. It make-a me a-happy.
