Claying makes a massive difference. I did the vvc back in oct last year and wow! Took me 4 hrs just to clay the whole car and then applied polish and wax on top of it and it worked a treat. The paintwork is so smooth. Defo worth doing maybe 3-4 times a year to maintain the paintwork to a high standard.

Kev Its easier to to clay a car than to machine polish believe me !, and having it machine polished wont pull all the crap out of the paint, and plus G3 is a very coarse cutting compound which will cut back a lot of clear coat, do this too many times and you risk cutting through to the base coat, where as a clay bar does no damage what so ever to the paint

looks sweet mate i looked for a black mg zs180 saloon exactly like yours but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. nice to see somone else who takes an interest in boats aswell my dad owned a formula, and his mates scarabs and weve got jet skis and a smaller boat now due to the formula costing more than £100 a day in petrol lol.

I got some quick clay, just waiting for a decent day to do it now

Those reflections are absolutely stunning....!

i quickly did mine the other day, then polished and waxed. looked great for all of 24 hours before i headed back down the road after work, sodding salt on the roads.
