    Anyone recommend a good claybar?

    It is a shame the Megs kit is so expensive that is it's only downside. There original Quick Clay kit was much better priced.

    Remove the stripes or not?

    Racing Blue needs stripes, looks wrong without. Would lose the Elf and tow stickers though.

    recomend me a chamois

    I have a few of the Autoglym ones - find they work really well, use them for the wheels and arches of my GTi and use them exclusively on my 306. Can dry the car much quicker than with a drying towel as long as you have washed and rinsed the car well. On paintwork I care about looking A1 though...

    Won't be beading as well in a few weeks time, Collinite will blow it away for durability.

    glaze/seal/wax?

    The EGP is the sealant, you may get a lightly warmer look using a wax over it. Standalone the Extra Gloss Protection will look good though and be durable. The EGP may be a pain to use as it is cold and damp out, will probably need at least an hour before removal at this time of year. If you can...

    The best way to clean my car is.....?

    Work just fine when just drying without a wash as you dry product yes. If your not happy with the Sonus ones they would be my choice as a replacement.

    The best way to clean my car is.....?

    I find myself using these at the moment - http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/miracle-dryer-ultra-plush-25-x-36-/prod_362.html Seem to be more ideal when using AG Aquawax too.

    Gritter's!!!!!!!!!!!

    Depends on the wax - anything that is not known for it's durability will not fair well at this time of year.

    New car - best starting point

    Claying is a once a year process for me, depends on where you park the car and how much contamination it picks up, if it still feels gritty after a wash then it will need claying. Proper polish, once a year, light polish/paint cleaner and applying sealant 2-3 times a year. Wax - well I like it...

    Engine cleaning

    I would do it a little at a time, using as little water as possible. Spray a small amont of Autogylm degreaser on a chosen area, agiate with a soft brush for a few seconds to start it working, rinse of with a small amount of water or even better just a damp cloth, dry as best you can with a...

    Talk me out of/into buying a machine polisher

    Never had a problem with Menzerna guess I am just use to it and nothing else I have tried yet comes close. Will get some 3M when the Menz runs low. I found the Megs 83 more of a pain tbh. The Poorboys SSR range are the easiest to use, but don't produce the same results as the Menzerna.

    Best metal polish ??

    Ag Metal Polish will not be to harsh but will not finish down to the best shine, I tend to use it first then use Autoglym Suer Resin to refine down to a higher gloss.

    New car - best starting point

    The clay will strip anything on there so no need to use anything more. As far as getting a machine polisher, no matter how good you think it looks with an application of SRP and EGP, it will look a hell of alot better with a machine polish. Aside from how many swirls and defects it has you can...
