All clays, apart from Bilt Hamber's, are made under trademark to a particular spec, so they are all mostly the same, with varying levels of strength.
It will be fine, but ultimately no better than the Megs Kit you can get from Halfords.
I'd recommend Sonus Green Clay and Dodo Juice Born...
If you have some wax on (say their Supernatural) which beads for a good few months, then this product will kill the beading properties.
The idea is that you top up afterwards with Red Mist - quite clever really, kind of makes you dependent on other parts of the range.
It is a great...
Envy brushes re the way forward:

Plus, an EZ brush for behind the spokes.
Cleaner wise, Smart Wheels from AutoSmart is great stuff. Bilberry otherwise.
Lot of people don't get on with 3M on a DA though - but defo the weapon of choice on a rotary
I'd stick to Megs pads and Menz polishes. 3.02 on the 7207 pad should sort them out for you.
It does look nice and glossy in the pics, but there are swirls-a-plenty
I'm hoping it can be corrected with Finish Kare 215, if not Menz 106 or 203 should sort it.
I really want some BOS, but SW are out of stock still.
Pick it up tomorrow!!
They called me today to tell me that the front tyres are nearly on the legal limit...
So they're putting two brand new Conti SC3's on for me - result!! They're paying for it!!
Kangaroo patch is done too.
Sweet. I'm a bit excited.
It's swirly as hell too. Looking...
Lol, nice Riz.
The bead killing shizzle is a bit random, but the idea is you buy Red Mist too, to top it up.
Last Touch does the job tbh. 3.8L for £18, but it dilutes 1:1 with council pop.
It's very weird making the change - MUCH harder to control where it goes, but as you say, it will correct FAR quicker than a DA will.
The Flex 3401 is a good middle ground, but it's not cheap!
EGP won't bond properly, unless you IPA wipedown first. EGP likes being on top of SRP.
Personally, I'd look at one of the other paint cleansers such as Lime Prime, Cleaner Fluid etc
You won't get a scratch out of glass with a compound - you need some jewellers scratch shizzle.
I asked Mr Autoglass when I spunked his resin in my hole, and he said I needed jewellers shiz. So it be fact.
As above, this is a spray sealant and not a drying aid - it will leave a right mess behind

Is your friend :)
Last Touch is okay too. Finish Kare 425 be the daddy.
Sounds about right to me, but I'm not a massive Megs fan - much prefer the speed at which the Menz polishes correct, but the longer work time of the Megs is better for beginners in a way.
These new one step polishes are the way forward, I always found it a chore correcting, then refining, but...
It does on speed 6, but you shouldn't ever need to use that (but it is useful for drying wet pads!)
Which products and pads did you use? It does look flawless tbh.
Very nice work! :)
Little tip... draw a line on the backing plate so that you can see if it is spinning or not - 1 rev per second is normally about right :)
Any lower than 2500/2000 grit and you can inflict some serious damage if you don't go easy, and there's no need to use anything more coarse on paint. Then, once flat, refine with the 4000, which leaves marks which are a lot easier to remove.
Trick is, keeping it lubed up (as it were) and...
