Simon is watching the OC.... :gay:

You can get it from here..

I've had good service from them before when ordering products. Careful you don't end up ordering the whole shop, which is all too easy.

I bought some Gold Class Shampoo recently which is pretty good and foamy :gay: :lol:

just make sure you do a panel at atime keeping the panel well lubed
and turn your clay as you see it build up with shat

i don't think so si, you jsut keep playing with the lump of clay, as you would plasticine or blutak, untill there isn't a clean face/side left to , at this point you throw it away and use another bar.

good, when it gets a bit dirt on it, knead it like a ball of dough in your hands till you get another clean bit to use on the car, its when there is no clean bits left when you keep on kneading it that you throw it away and replace it.

Yeh run the clay under water, will get the crap off it.

Also before using it, heat the clay on a radiator or something, makes it softer, and easier to use on curved areas, so you don't miss any little bits :cool:

Brought Roy some of this for Xmas and he reckons it's give him quicker 0-60 time and a higher top speed because it makes the car so smooth it cuts through the wind. :woohoo: Excellant product 10 out of 10.
