Claying a car?

[alx_chung]

I was thinking of claying my car once the better weather comes along (not been done since I got the car in Sept) and was wondering what type of claybar I should use? I am not after anything too abrasive, just want something that will remove most of the contamination without too much bother.
I clayed a car once before so I know what is involved (lots of QD, making sure the claybar is warm etc) but not sure on what to use.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

Megs or sonus green seems ot get the thumbs up. I've used Mothers clay bar before, yellow one and worked great, had enough for two goes at the car. Clayed, polished with SRP, Autoglym Extra Gloss sealant then normal turtle wax metalic (blue wax) worked very well for me, all done by hand. Someone will be along to tell you everything.

I bought the Megiurs kit, which had bar and spray and cloth, which worked well

Same as Dan was very pleased with the Megiurs kit

I use DP clay and Wolfgang lube (Motorgeek special offer pack). Or Sonus green if you want something really mild.

Megs here ... white bar, did the trick nicely - closely followed by 3 days of PC and polish then another weekend of finishing. 12 months later it's still resisting the much

Does anyone know the difference between the Detailing clay and the quick clay that Meguiars make ? Seems to be quite a difference in price but, do they give the same results ? I dont mind spending the time doing it properly but, if you can use the quick clay and get the work done in half the time it means more time in the pub.

Iv used the Meguiars quick clay kit, u get the bar and spray, gave good results!! I used this first then used some good quality polish, fantastic shine, nice finish.

Alex - if you want the details of my kit, il dig it out for ya later.

You get a largish microfibre cloth which I use for drying after washing

The megs clay kits are good value for money.



I use the SONUS green fine clay on mine, I tend to give my cars a claying once a year, & this is agressive enough for that I find, plus all the wax I add on through the year helps stop getting stuff sticking to her.
