You wipe it all over the car and it takes the dirt off. You just wash it afterwards then I believe.

22 quid from halfords for everything

or 13 quid for the clay bars and i think the spray

it's just a spray that makes the bodywork ''slippery'' so the clay bar doesn't get stuck everytime you rub it on the paintwork. if you think, clay is sticky and if you used the clay on it's own, it would stick to everything and be very hard to use and can damage to paint.

i was thinking of buying one of these about an hour ago in halfrauds but i changed my mind as i thought it wouldnt do much at all compared to just polishing and waxing?

so do u think its worth it?

make sure you polish and wax the car after you clay - it will take off any old polish and wax.

Yeah it is ^

On another note....

How many times can you use a clay bar? I've used mine twice now, should i just cut it up, and use a cleaner side?
