Thanks to Dyl, Vinnie, minibbb and BigAndy for advice on "Detailing" so I ordered on Amazon .....

1. Bilt Hamber Auto Clay Medium (200g) used with water £13.70
2. Meguiar's Ultimate Compound £9.01
3. Soft foam applicator pads (extravagant not necessary)
4. had some autoglym super resin polish from an old gift-set £00.00

I was a bit sceptical on the clay (never used it before)

anyway used the clay on the bonnet but it didn't seam to do much, just a little reddy brown deposit removed, and it took 4-ever (sigh) so didn't use it on the rest and went straight on with the Meguiar's.

I'm blown away .....
defo more glass-like after using clay ... think it didn't appear to do much as there was no wax or any protection at all on the paint :whistle:
.. but that Meguiar's is awesome
.... and the resin polish effortless to use and gives a fantastic gloss

not sure if the images show how good it is, but almost all scratches are gone and I can see my face in the paintwork ............ :pinch: blown away with the results .... B)

I'm converted ;)

Detailing??????? You need to get a Landy!!! Ive not washed mine in the year I have had it!!

To note though, get a wax over the paintwork - the polish is just that, it doesnt offer as good protection as finishing wax. ValetPro House Wax was my go to when I gave a sh*t about shiny black paint :-)

You need one of these!!! ... Not a 2013 one tho ;-)
