I gave a clay bar a go for the first time, and the result was amazing. I used the Meguires one followed by a Meguires Gold Class wax.

Here are the results:

For the hood cover (horseshoe part) I used Meguires leather cleaner and a scrubbing brush:

The clay bar comes with the quick detailer spray and costs £12.99.

Its not something you have to do every was but if you fancy pampering the car and want to get it shiney again then give it a go. Its really easy to use to.

Clay baring (is that a word? :mad: ) makes a HUGE difference. Looks amazing!! Not a fan of the tail lights, but beautiful car overall.

It kind of sold, but it was some scammer who won it, based in Singapore, "I send you cashiers cheque for item and get friend with shipping company to collect car".
Basically they were told 2 words, the second being OFF and they are now banned from ebay.

I dodnt really want to sell it anyway, so im now selling the 7 series and seeing if I can find another way to finance my trip to NZ.
