Thanks Phase1sr and the other sensible comments
No probs, don't mind a bit of banter but don't see the original question pointless, I don't want my paint stripping, perhaps Yell will allow me to test it on his first or perhaps he gets good results with the peanut stuff?
I am not into finer points of 'detailing' not even sure what it entails but see lots of strange comments here like is this clay any good and that solution rubbish or what, so my question must fit in?
I normally just wash and wax and yes about three times a year use the Autoglym SRP and if you see how it gleams then it must be working OK.
We're still talking about the trip down to Duxford, the cars first long run, will be the first of many I'm sure,
