Good tips Rich.... I'll get my moneys worth! :approve:

I'll take some tommoz... my bro came around in his new197 and I lost track... very nice car, I'm converted.

I dunno why I didnt do it sooner! I finally had a go with claying!! How easy is that, and the results are stunning... I was thinking about using this on my cars 5 years ago!! Finally got around to it... mighty pleased I gave it a go.. no looking back now. TBH... I did buy a clay bar kit about...
