A Clay bar would be good to get rid of the contaminants on the paint like the tar. Its done in between washing and polishing

My advice would be to not waste money on expensive products yet. Use cheaper products until you get your technique perfected and have learned all the basics.
Try the polished bliss websitewww.polishedbliss.co.uk they give great guides on techniques and instructions on how to use all products they sell.

I'm afraid the answers from the detailing crowd (me included) will become quite baffling - it will all depend on how much time and money you have.
A lot of folks use Auto Glym Super Resin Polish (AG SRP) and are happy with the results as it contains fillers that mask the shallower marks in your paint.
This is readily available from high street shops for about a tenner.
Auto Glym HD Wax is a good 'LSP' to appy after the SRP and is easy to apply and remove and gives good durability to your paint....£25 - £40 depending on seller.
You could also try a glaze such as poor boys black hole - or Wet Glaze 2.0
A can of worms is truly opened when you get into the world of car paint prep.....and it drains your wallet too!

Thank you mate :happy2: hmm why does there have to be a choice of products to use :surprised: ive used AG SRP loads of times and have always got on well with it, the HD WAX could be the way forward, i know what will happen i will buy some, try it then buy some more and try that, but never really decide what i like best, one things for sure i wanna get the tar spots off asap, because i now know they are there its doing my head in lol

to get tar off get AG intensive tar remover works a treat and it only cost around £5

I'd definitely recommend using a clay bar, makes a big difference. I personally prefer using the Bilt Hamber clay to the Maguiars clay, I found it easier to work with and you get more for your money. Also, it works fine with just water alone, no need to splash out on clay lube.
