And n all fairness, I clayed it about 6 months ago, and I know you should do it every 6 months or less, but most of the paintwork still feels smooth. No doubt it'll still look sexy after a cleaning sesh Wednesday anyhow, I'm thinking of getting the camera on the tripod and take pictures during the whole process, but I'll look like a nob on my street doing that haha!

Yes very, very easy to put on and buff off actually, but you can it does something as it leave a slightly nicer shine compared to when I had just done the polish. The Collinite I had to apply front end in the rain which wasn't very good, so I went over it again afterwards, I know I've probably fecked it up a bit now but it was either that or leave all the work I'd done previous and do it again tomorrow no thanks).  :nerd:
