    I thought it was easy to use, and after that step of the process i could already see that the car was looking very clean (compared to after the normal wash). I didn't get rid of all my swirlies/light scratches, particularly on the roof, but i think that was simply me not spending as much time on some panels as others. The bonnet and doors came up particularly good.

    It's the first time i've used any sort of clay bar product so i can't make any product comparisons. It definitely showed me that this step is worth it once in a while though.

    Clay won't get rid of swirls, but it should leave the paint very clean and smooth to the touch.

    Looks like I might give the liquid clay a go on the Outback next weekend!
    Nothing to see here...

    Glad I've got my skid plate now. Count your blessings you still have an intact sump.

    I gave the bora a good wash today after i went for country drive with the g/f on the weekend up to marysville then to alexandra then accross to yea then back to yarra glen then home. Bit dirty and covered in bugs, i got some pics but i'll post them up soon once i get my g/f camera. Thought why i was at it i'd start giveing the seats and good clean, spent best part of half an hour getting makeup and chocolate marks out of my passenger seat, so thought i'd stop and do a seat per night.

    I also wanted tinted tailights and looked at using the spray but then i saw it on a few mates cars and i wasn't happy with the finish. So i opted to import a pair of Hella smoked taillights. The good thing is that i don't get hassled by the cops becasue there legal. Alot of guys down my way are always getting defects for spray on taillight tints.
