You won't see a great deal difference in a clayed car and a non-clayed car - it removes imperfections and bonded on crap from the paintwork that washing doesn't remove. Also, gets rid of the layers of wax that can build up over time. It'll make the shine and reflection slightly more even but it's more about quality of paintwork than visual effect.

Worth doing once in a while though.

Or as Rich wisely says "It reveals the true state of the paint beneath" - which for most black gold owners is truly horrendous.

D.

As said no point seeing pics of clayed cars it adds nothing to the cars looks, just ensures the paint is smooth and free of stuck on dirt washing alone won't remove.

It'll prob leave some marks thats been covered up with layers of polish, sealent and wax etc too due to it stripping basically everything from the surface of the paint.

Some people just dont get claying a car do they??

^^ yeah i did at the W/E after claying i thought s**t somone has had the 50 grit paper to it tbh, lot of work after claying needed on most cars

 

[madmike1]

what do you need to do after claying if the paintwork is in bad condition?
just polish and wax?

 

[Rich]

Yes indeed - polish to correct whatever the defects are then seal and wax.

 

[TeZ]

Rich is the man

I did a quick detail at the weekend comprising of

Autoglym Tar Remover
" Bodwork Shampoo Condition
" Super Resin Polish
" Extra Gloss Protection

Anyone know how long does the Extra Gloss will last? I'm new to using this product and not sure if a wax should be applied before or after ???

Gave a nice wet look finish though.

 

[TeZ]

After and AG EGP dosnt seem to last long on mine mate get a good wax

 

[scala]

So just polish, forget the AG EDP and just wax? Any kind of seal needed after?

 

[Rich]

Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection is good for 2-3 months protection, get a couple of coats on then top with wax.

 

[scala]

Sweet.
