    Clay bar is like the consistency of blu-tack and removes contaminants sitting above the clear coat.

    You see it picking up all the grime and dirt that normal washing doesn't remove. I thought i was pretty thorough at washing my car but on some areas, obviously the clay bar begs to differ..

    I bought mine in a meguiars pack with some detailing spray. Give the panel a generous spray, flatten out a piece of the clay to about a 3-4cm circle and smooth it over the panel. It makes the car feel like glass when you compare it to the other panels.

    Some others might be able to add more - QUESTION - how often can you clay bar your car? Its a pain in the rear end lol requires some effort so hopefully its not too often..

    They came with centre caps but I'm getting VW centre cap's off ebay so hopefully they'll look ok.

    Love your enthusiasm Lora Re your question, you only clay it before you polish it. You won't need to do it for 12 months or so unless you park under trees etc.

    Gave the little bugger a good detail, wash, clay bar, polish and wax. Oh ...almost forgot, got an APR flash as well. Good day for the little beast.
