I've had to clay in stages to fit around work, and it's worked a treat. I was a bit worried about the marring issue to used bucket loads of the spray, in fact I used a full bottle but it's worked a treat :)
Only used 1 full clay bar (made the mistake of putting the first half I was using in my pocket) so yea, really pleased with the results :happy2:

Woke up to a nice warm, slightly overcast day today which seemed perfect to clay the car and use my recently purchased Lusso Revitalising Cream and Oro wax.
All I can say to anyone thinking about clayling is to just crack on with it. It made such a difference to the shine/feel of the paint and wasn't difficult really. It also gave me the perfect base for applying the Lusso which I am well impressed with!

Clay in a bottle now thats scary :scared:

Good work Gaz - I'm tempted to do the business tomorrow, travelling a 4 hour round trip to Derby though on Sunday so not sure if I should get that out of the way first?
Did you break the bar up or just do the whole thing re-moulding the same bar? Do I need to apply pressure?
stealthwolf:
If you break the bar in half, one piece should be enough to do the whole car. The other piece you can save for another time or if you drop the first piece on the floor.
Pressure should be minimal - enough to keep the clay on the paintwork There should be abrasiveness - there should be enough lubrication from the spray that the clay bar slides along very easily.
