Found it quite easy to do, was amazing how much muck cam off it, mainly tar spots and those little brown rusty flecks from brake dust.

Just finished it ready for polishing and the next door neighbours who are digging up the patio decided to sweep the drive and give it a nice coating of dust and sand !!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway moved it round the corner, and a wash and polish later its looking superb.

also had a bit of a play with the clay on the front wheels which have baked on brake dust, and it removed it no probs. Going to remove them before long and give them a proper do

detailing your car defiantly becomes addictive,
I detail a car every weekend part hobby part earn some extra pounds, always use clay on 1st time details and the owners are amazed what it does.

Dean, took your advice and went for the clean your car own brand, and sonus glyde. found it quite hard to mould though, although it wasnt the warmest day yesterday

if it gets difficult to mould steve just bring a cup of warm water out with you. rip the bar in half and dropp it in the water. leave for 5 mins and use one piece. if its really cold itll start to get hard again after a while. just drop it back in the water and alternate using the two pieces.;)
