is it better to get a microfibre drying cloth? if so which is a decent one not EXPENSIVE or too CHEAP just right, atm i have a AG chamois leather when i used it with AG shampoo (green one, has lime green liquid) it had a realy nice deep shine to it, but anyway i know what you guys are going to say (i didnt know it was ages ago)  :cry: sorry  :grin: ,

2. which clay bar? £10 max that to cheap? i want a sexy shine  :tongue: (car is mystic blue)

Hope you don't mind me butting in. Here's what I would recommend:

A good clay - Dodo Juice Supernatural - it's more than your £10 budget (£17.95), however you actually get 3 bars which you can cut up so will last you ages. If you want just one bar, go for ValetPro Clay at just £6.95.

Drying Towel - A really do rate these: http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=256&idcategory=16

Good bargain wax - Meguiar's No.16 (£12.95) or Collinite 476 (£14.95)

Hope that helps a little,

Chris

get some applicator pads too - they are SO good and will save you a lot of effort (speaking as somebody thats used white tea-towels before!!)

i.e.

+1 to the microfibre towels too!

You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

I had two of these from Chris @ Waxamomo, I like mine and my Dad seems to love his. Converted him from a chamois leather to protect his brand new paint.

You know you can mar the paint if you aren't careful? Keep it well lubed.  :evil:
