some quick detailing spray.
dont just go and get a clay kit and start slapping it about pretending you know what you are doing. Have a read up on some detailing sites.

Look on detailingworld.com mate, loads of helpful people on there, plenty of guides on best methods of claying etc. If you look in the shops on the forum you'll probably get a bit of a discount aswell.

I clayed my car yesterday, i'm dubious tbh.
I didn't notice any difference.
I think it may be more applicable to older cars.
And it was mequiars quick clay from halfrauds.

it wont give much of a visual effect, but to the touch, if you touch a cars wing that hasnt been clayed for about a month or more, and one just done, youl notice the difference, the freshly done one will be like glass

Its most effective on older cars or cars which don't get cleaned very often. I clayed my coupe when I first got it and the difference was amazing, however, i did it again a couple of weeks ago and the effect was minimal, i think this is down to keeping the car cleaned, polished and waxed and not allowing dirt, tar and bugs to settle on the paint.
As Steve mentions, its more a difference to touch than sight.

I didn't notice any at all, by the looks of it the paint was actually in quite good nick.
I've polished now and i'm just about to wax, i'll get pics later hopefully.
