Spent a good 2 hours claying and then polishing my car.

washed it down with shampoo
squeegied the water off
clayed it
polished it
waxed it
buffed it

the shine is so bright its hurts my eyes.





dont like the way this one turned out, but oh well

You mean you polished it THEN waxed it, not the other way round. I hope

Looks good

I found on page 4 (ish) of the tutorial that the guy who wrote it uses the clay on his windows...is this right ? I thought it was only for paintwork ??
