 Clay bars - legacylad
Heard of them, and what they do, which is remove contaminants on paintwork.
18 months ago i was given an Autoglym detailing kit, put in a dark corner and forgotten about. I suddenly remembered it, and in a rush of blood decided to clean the Vitara, something i do three times a year.
Snow foam, hose off, car shampoo, hose off. This time used my ‘white’ Bilt Hamner clay bar, kept the paintwork damp with a water spray bottle, and couldn’t believe how much crud it lifted off. Then waxed, left for 15 minutes, and polished off with a micro cloth.
It’s come up like glass, but does show all the minor stone chips.

A labour of love, two consecutive evenings work, total 6 hours, but kept me away from early doors beer.

Very impressed with the result
