clay bar it before polish

great minds hey

of course

off topic but which mooredoor are you taking to leeds this year if your going, seen the A reg one last time

clay bar is basically a lump of clay you rub over the car with lube and it removes all sorts or crap, basically your car will have uber smooth paint and have no sap, pollution tar or any small things stuck to the paint, it makes a massive difference, saying that mine needs doing again

I don't know what claybar is?

Automotive clay used with a lubricant which removes all the bonded sh*t that attached itself to your paintwork.

i.e clean car, spray lube on panel, warm up clay to make pliable, place clay on panel and move backwards and forwards, clay will pick up the sh*t on the paint, wipe off lube when finished, check paint feels like glass, then move on, kneed clay into itself and start again on the next bit

Halfords do Meguiars kits with a clay bar and lube for about £15 i think.

Just follow the instructions you cant go wrong really, this kit is quite mild

Blitz Thats my sisters car! Shhhhhh!

Might do a bit of a photoshoot some time with the 190E, whenever its clean or not doing a million miles on the motorway!

Might just go with a polish, sounds a bit too much effort or the chromie! Will be dirty in seconds!

AnD again

F reg moredoor this year, A reg one is in a massive pile of bits in my garage undergoing a mini resto project, i'm half way through cleaning the underside after removing everything to repaint and refurb, once finished its off to the bodyshop for a new coat of Henna Red

Also no 2litre lump or auto going back in, 2.7 all the way

polishing dirty paint is pointless imo, if you want it minty you NEED to clay it

my car looked Matt white before i clayed it, polish would;nt have done much alone

[Ollie_bwoii]

But if its minty it will show up all the rust!

Congrats Ollie! Looks good! A good detail and a slight suspension drop and you'll have an awesome looking chariot!
