i used this a few weeks back now on my black vr and it made the bar very dirty!!!!!!! make sure u dnt let it dry up so it can pick up the contaminents of the car. im sure one of the mods will be able to give a better answer than me.

either that or u have a very clean car  :wink:

so it felt no different ?, probably because you keep it so well it doesnt need it as much as others do, also you wont see tar spots on your like you would on lighter cars

so its actually a credit to you

how much pressure did you use on the clay bar?

i am presuming that your paintwork feels like 'glass' when you have finished?  if that is the case then you should be ok... just don't forget to re-seal and wax when you're done  :wink:
