Its not fun but polish the colour up and it looks amazing in the sun i can spend hours looking at mine when im finished !

 

[Turkish]

Bonnet? I get bored after doing a wing mirror backing.

Buy some Bilt Hamber auto clay, it's a doddle as you use water instead of lube.
You are pressing too hard if your arm aches, apply almost no pressure, that way you prevent marring.

was all for lowering but we use it as a comfy run around, my daughter hates the 182 due to its ride, so she loves the comfort in the back of the 138

Yer i detest claying. wort part of a detailing process. Did an 06 silver merc yesterday which had a s**t ton of tar on it was a good hard effort to do it and i went through 3/4 of a clay bar.

I think its probably worse than machine polishing or buffing collinite 476s off.

 

[Rich]

Did you use the clay to remove the tar ? Thought you where getting some Tarsdis ?

TBH the clay was pretty clean the odd Tar streak here and there

 

[AlexG]

try doing a 9 year old car which has been machine polished without claying to really bed in the contamination!
ive been at it for 3 days on and off, an 1h45mins on the front wing says it all

 

[Andi-B]

Looks nice but feck me .. Thought my ride height was bad :quiet: lol

 

[Brand86]

Looks good but claying wearing out your arm...seriously?!? You shouldn't really be using much pressure at all mate, literally almost gliding over the surface. Which clay were you using out of interest?
