yeah took me ages with bug and tar remover getting all the sticky pad s**t off.
plates have been on and off with this car. dunno how originals were fixed, but then the first owner had private plate on sticky pads. then he put originals back on with screws (nasty f**king hole sin tailgate and bumper
) then i put mine on with sticky pads for a bit, then cleaned them up and velcro'd them.matty - i used the detailer spray
getting a bit low now though so when it runs out will fill it back up with soapy water.

Not a problem. As soon as the weather looks good for a weekend we shall get it sorted. To cold to do any real polishing at the moment still, I need a bigger garage.
Got to change my plates over in the next few weeks, not looking foward to seeing how much tape Renualt have put on them!

This should help m8. What i've gathered is that the main thing to remember when claying is to use plenty of the detailer spray or lots of soapy water, then you can't go wrong. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17dannyboy172 said:Mine could do with some of the clay treatment....i'm a complete clay novice, so...

Cheers matty.
Where can i get it from? and how much is it?
Might get some tomorrow, i've cleaned my car today but the paint work does need some serious attention.

Looks spot on. And they do look mean with no front plate.
I've just washed mine and really wanted to wax it as it's looking really dull, but it's just too damp now. I'll try and do it tomorrow afternoon, if it's not too cold and I can melt it in my hands I'll get the Zymol out, if not it's NXT.

Around about £10 m8, just bought some from here: http://2modified.com/care-surface-prep-c-31_288.html
A good car accessories shop would have some.
Worth giving it a good wax after claying

I went down to mine today and picked up some NXT shampoo and wax as I couldn't be arsed with Zymol in this weather. Really impressed with it.
If I get time tomorrow I'm going to HD cleanse it, Zymol it then maybe top up with some NXT wax. Of course we all know there's very little chance of me doing all that.

I would do the HD cleanse, then the NXT before your Zymol Lee. The NXT has some light cleners in it which will cut through the wax. Also the Zymol Carnuba after the NXT will add to the look.
Get to it tommorrow! Stop being slack. As a one step product the NXT will work well if you are feeling lazy
as it cleans and protects all in one.
