Car needs to ba washed well first.

I like Sonax Wash from Vauxhall dealers, the Blue Zymol or Meguiars Gold Glass from Halfords also both work well.

You need to clay after washing, and before polishing and sealing. A well worth it step.

I used the old clay on my alloys after doing all the paintwork on the car itself.
