Clay Mitt
 
Well as we are all on lockdown, I thought why not clean the MG and try out my new clay mitt, I think it came up nice with a quick polish too.

Looking good. How did you get one with the clay mitt? I've heard good things about them.

The thing is with a clay mitt, you have to make sure it's clean before using it again, otherwise you'll scratch the paint to hell next time you use it:cool:

Looking fab.

Respect. :}.

As for using "clay" I'd never heard of such a thing until a few years ago when I started to take an interest in detailing.

Claying is a bit weird - you can actually feel something "gritty" coming off the paintwork :eek:. But it makes a huge difference to the final finish.

I've used a clay bar but far prefer a mitt. For me it's just easier to use but each to their own.

I use a CarChem one, well lubed with their excellent 1900:1 shampoo.
