First time I've used a clay bar...God knows why I haven't used it before and the results are brilliant.

That looks stunning.

Where did you get the clay bar? Been thinking about this, wondering which to go for.

fking hell....that looks amazing. cloud9

Silvatec front indicators, LED rears and colour coded kidney surrounds would make it pretty much perfect IMO

Wax......Again I use Dodo Juice wax.....Dodo juice poor boys juiced edition....Great results and smells good enough to eat.




It does give a very wet look...

Not aware of it being owned by a Kelly....I've had it a year and I bought it from a chap in Gloucester.

The lights yes but really do not like the kidney surround colour coded...Doesn't work for me..I like the black.

I've used clay a couple of times and have switched to using Bilt Hamber clay. You can get it cheap from eBay and it just uses water as lube which is much better. Came highly recommended from Detailing World.

Cheers for that...May have to try that next time as a few people I know use it and recommend it to.
