hi gareth, thats great mate, with regards to the clay stage, does this have to be done, the reason i ask is my car has just been flat and polished all over after some work being done. is it a case of doing it still just to make sure the end result is the best possible ????. i havent got any of the products mentioned by you mate, all i have is megs products at the mo but ill get the ones youve mentioned and give it a go. are the instructions that come with the products you mention quite thorough because all ive done before really is the wash stage then the occasional scratch treatment then a polish then a final waxing stage. im really after a deep shine/wet look to be honest rather than something to bring out the fleck in the paint.
