Hi there

Can someone do a start to finish list of pre claying and post claying, just that i keep reading bits of what people are doing but never get a start to finish list for us not so clued up/detailing experts like most of you guys, could Waxamomo possible do it for the site, could possibly help promote there products also?

Thanks

Absolute piss to use.

1. Wash your car
2. Dry it
3. Run your fingers over panels i.e. Bonnet, Above Side Skirts, you'll feel ruff bumps ...
4. Spray the clay bar lube on the surface
5. Rub back n forth using the clay bar
6. Wipe dry with a microfibre cloth
7. Re-run fingers, it should be gone and you'll see the contaminents on the clay bar, so remould it and repeat steps ...

Then its just a matter of re-washing the car, polishing and waxing.

Very easy, but time consuming.

should always wash after you've clayed because the cleaning agents in the clay lube will stop the sealant and wax bonding as well

Thats one of the reasons I use Bilt Hamber clay, cracking stuff 

Good value for money, 200g for a tenner can't go wrong ... and its not as abrasive as the other clays, and uses water! I like it. I think this one will require more 'elbow' grease so to speak to remove the more solid contaminents which is fine by me.

havent used Bilt Hamber clay personally but am i correct in saying you can use plain water for lube with this particular clay?

Thats correct and as already said it is very good value for money and must be the most cost effective clay on the market (I cut the bar into 4), I use the regular but I'm told that the soft is just as good. After using normal clay and a lube using just water took a bit of getting use to but it is a cracking product.

And if you glaze and seal, when do you do that?

glaze and seal after you've polished

As above ...

I ain't ever glazed / sealed my car, but tbh im more than chuffed with the results im getting from just claying, polishing & waxing.
