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 ....

I'm converted

It does look good though Halford. With a good regular coating of proper wax like Auto Glym HD wax etc, you will find it easier to wash and with spray on snow foam, the use of a lambs wool wash mit and using the two bucket method, you'll minimise fine scratches in the future.

I'm a bit of a bufty with my daily car!

I still can't believe I'm discussing car detailing on Big Jimny! Lol!
