Default Clayed using White Tack!

Yes, this stuff . . .



My ZR's paintwork was rough to the toutch so I got a few packs of White Tack from the Pound Shop, cut into suitable sizes, a self made lube containing 80% water 20% car shampoo in a spray bottle and and hey presto, a clayed car! In total it cost me about £3 and a few hours time in the sunshine

Not to good at bartering then? you were in a poundshop yes? then it should have gone something like this

YOU- picks up a random item, asks the teller 'how much is this mate'
TELER - 'thats a pound, sir'
YOU - another random item selected, 'what about this mate, how mcuh?
TELLER- 'thats a pound too'
YOU - selected another item 'and this mate? how much?'
TELLER - getting irate 'ITS A POUND....EVERYTHING IS A POUND!!!!'
YOU - picking up the box of white tak 'well i cant carry everything so ill just take this for now, theres your pound, i'll collect the rest of the stock with my van'
