Clay your f**king car and get a better wax.

[Jay.S]

Have a read up before you give it a go. Don't forget the lube. The sticky in here gives a good explanation of to do's and not to do's.

Nice one thanks for the links mate will give this a go then top up with wax / polish (autoglym super resin polish) Is it worth polishing after claying or straight into sealent?

 

[Kane.]

Always polish after claying, the clay will swirl your paint.

 

[Cliotoby]

Cause marring mainly.

Clay then glaze or hand polish. If you've got autoglym super resin polish lying about that'll do for almost anything. Then use a wax or selant.

Colly will do I guess but its the most unflattering sealant available. It is durable though. Use whatever you want. My definition of a good wax starts at about 60 quid.

I'm not running through this thread but I'm sure all that will have been mentioned.

Actually, after claying, I'd re-wash the car. But knowing you, I can imagine you going into an endless cycle of washing > claying > washing > claying.

 

[Jordi17]

its a forum, things will come up more than once, deal with it

 

[Gaz.]

Talk about not listening to advice.

 

[Jay.S]

All the advice and links have been given to you, I am guessing you haven't been bothered to read any of it.

Just to make it clear:-

Rinse
Wash
Rinse
Tar remover
Rinse
Finger tip test, clay with lube
Rinse
Polish
Sealant, wax or both.

If you do it each week then just rinse, wash QD.

 

[Gally]

Offfffffffft!

Something about a fuse being blown in London.

 

[Jay.S]

A fuse I think the circuit needs replacing by now :rasp:

 

[P17 TOO]

You should have given up when I suggested it earlier

 

[JD]

I dealt with it a few years back. Now you're starting to annoy me. Deal with it.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I thought this thread was about legs for some reason.

 

[Cliotoby]

It's nearing the end of the spring detailing boom. Jd is tired after gallys had him bent over his Ford racing pumas bonnet countless times in the last 3 months. So as a result is a bit cranky.

 

[JD]

FYI I'm actually in a good mood today as I've just sourced a lot of deionised water from Tescos of all places!

 

[Cliotoby]

OMG.

How much?

 

[JD]

£6 for 8l!

 

[Cliotoby]

No.

 

[Cliotoby]

Seriously im gunna buy some though. Whats it near? I mean i know your tescos will differ to mine but....

 

[JD]

It was in a Tescos extra, so the large stores. Near the car bits, so wipers, cleaning bits etc.

£7.87 if you remove the voluntary carbon neutral contribution!

 

[richy22]

I didn't notice that carbon bullcrap! I'm sure trade people could get it even cheaper?

I need to invest in some form of purifier or some big bottles of RO water. Does my nut having water marks even on a silver car. On the Monaco it was even worse.

 

[JD]

They're on eBay even cheaper, but I have no where to store 25l bottles... Shame I'm not at home as one of the sellers is just round the corner.
