Invested in a clay bar

Yesterday as the weather was lovely I thought I would give my car a proper clean so invested in a clay bar. I have to say I am very impressed with the results, the paint is so smooth and it has removed all the rubbish from the front doors that I can never get off. Here are some pictures, there are a lot of them so get a cup of tea!

Before

During, (this was just from half of the drivers door! :shock:

After (wash, clay and polish)

The following pictures were taken after Auto Glym high gloss resin sealant was used,

My favourite reflection shot,

Sorry for the number of pictures but it took me hours to do and the results wont last long!

The effects will last quite a while. I have to say i was impressed with the results when i did mine too. Washing is easy now too... just glides over the car.

Im impressed in the whole clay bar thing, good product

Me too, I was sceptical at first but it works really well. The cloth glides over the paint when you polish it.

i bet, nothing like a nice smooth body work after, the cars look nice when polished

Am planning my 1st claying this week as the weather is great. Few questions - which clay did you use and what lubricant? Why were you unsure about it at at 1st? And what did you finish off with just a polish or wax aswell?

Cheers, Rob
