Evening all

Just wondered what all this talk of clay is ?
I know its for cleaning your car but how does it ?
Whats the best one? and how much ?
Sundays weathers looking great so hoping to clear her up and try to sort my rear light.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

wishing you all a very pleasant weekend

Claybars make the paintwork smooth- they don't get rid of scratches etc.

If you want to put a coat of wax/polish etc, then its a good to clay the car. Claying will give a glass-like finish.

You can buy a Meg's clay kit from Halfords.

thanks kam, do you clay your car?

i usually polish my car using the ICE stuff, really really good but im always looking for alternatives

Yeah, I clay my car about 2-3 times a year- in fact I clayed mine 2 weeks ago. Wanted to get all that salt/grit/snow out of my paintwork that my car has picked up this winter.

Here's are a few pics when its all washed/clayed/waxed:
