I wiped the spray stuff off with a cloth, washing wouldn't do any harm but by the time i had got it in the garage the rain had started so wasn't taking it back out.

clean the car then spray a quick detailer as a lube and wipe the clay bar over the paintwork, just don't wipe it over a dry area or it will stick to the paint and possibly pull it off

Wish my garage was big enough to be able to polish a car in it.

Can only just fit my Lupo in ours :rolleyes:

Yip as ben says for the clay, easy to use, just a bit of elbow grease.

I like the seats too apart from the fact they are impossible to keep clean :(

Nice :)

Where do you get clay bars from? What's the technique of using them also?

Cleaned my car over the past couple of day, just doing a wee bit at a time.

Took a few pictures, not very good because they are from a dark garage with not much space but thought i'd post some.

I've changed my opinion of clay bars, the paint was a bit filthy because of the winter roads, really made a difference this time whereas the last time I used it the paint was quite clean and it done nothing.

Washed, clayed, polished, waxed.
