Whereabouts in Scotland?

Glasgow for 3 days and then Edinburgh for 1.  Any good shops up there?  I was thinking of ordering online and have the stuff delivered at my hotel.

If I were you I'd be getting in touch with Waxamomo and ask them to do exactly that. I've just had a look to try and find a dedicated supplier up there but have failed miserably mate. Waxamomo do a 5% forum discount with the code ilovewaxamomo

Hope this helps?

Any clay lubricant, you can use water. The key is to keep the clay bar and the surface wet, this stops the marring on the paint. I use Autoglym clay bar with their rapid detailer for a lubricant.

Clay bar = clay bar, playdo = playdo! Two different things, buy a clay bar!

clay bar for cars then  ;D so i don't have to buy a lubricant.  I will be travelling to Scotland in a few days time so i better wait and get it from there, can't seem to trace any such things down here. Thanks Ginge and previous commentors for your valuable help


As far as i know only bilthamber clay is good with water? I normally clay mine while it's still wet but it can grab at times if there is not enough lube :drool:


Best bet is to get a kit like this as it's ideal for beginners:

And if that doesn't sort it get some of this:
