[k.leeming]

Ok i hear alot about this item but cannot really figure out how it works.

I generally:

rinse
wheels
shampoo - 2 bucket method
rinse
soft top roof
dry
interier
glass
polish
buff off
wax cleanse
buff off
wax
buff off
show off.


At which point would i clay and what does it do ?

Clay after the second rinse

Allows a bigger show off at the end

There loads of others

Try Detailing world web site very good.
Generally clay before polish as it removes crap before the polish process Enjoy!

Thanks for the reply.

I watched the video that you posted and im still not 100% sure on what the clay actually does. Is it a deep cleaner ? Does it fill in scratches and makes them dissappear ?

Clay removes tar spots amongst other dirt that ordinary shampoo doesn't touch

I like to spray Tardis on to get rid of the worst before claying the car. It makes the clay bar last longer. Make sure you've got all the Tardis off before claying though or it will dissolve the clay and leave a very nasty sticky mess on the car.
