Ive been looking into getting a clay bar kit after seeing people getting some pretty good results on here.

The car is 10 years old, black, and has some fairly bad scratches/swirls on the paint.

which one should i go for? or others you would recommend.
I dont want to spend loads, its just a saxo im doing after all, the Turtle wax kit is only £16!

Cheers Matt.

 

Just go to halfords and buy the clay on its own and knock a mix up like I told you on the other thread mate .

 

thats one of the reasons i asked you how you did it! haha. it does sound like a cheap alternative!

 

A clay bar won't get rid of any scratches or swirls remember. You'll need to machine polish those out.

 

if youve never used clay before then id recommend the meguairs kit or as mat said buy the clay and knock up some lube(shampoo/water)
caution should be taken when using it as its very easy to marr the paintwork and make it look worse than before you started,keep the area well lubed and dont go to heavy on the paint with the clay,just light rubbing back and forth.
as said it wont get rid of swirls/scratches

 

i have a machine polisher and have had some pretty good results. im fairly familiar with applying polish and wax's. Ive just never used a clay bar.
i planned on claying the car, then cutting the paint back a little with some TCut, then filling what scratches are left with some polish.

 

as on other clay thread auto finesse clay and lube. if you dont want to machine it poorboys black hole will give good results on a black car and by hand. or even auto finesse tripple ive got some pics of tripple been used

 

before


after applied with das6 on a polishing pad

 

I believe t cut has filler properties.Id go with a glaze to fill such as CG ez creme.Great product.

 

You need the light on the second picture to compare properly.

 

i went for the maguairs in the end. car came up well!

 

It was the sun on the first picture and as you can see ill find a better 50/50

 

It was the sun on the first picture, but you can see it has a lot more gloss.

 

as said need a better angle to see f youve got rid of the swirls but from that angle it looks like theres holograms,might just be the picture

 

Just the picture pal there clouds and reflections from the sky. I wasn't trying to show 100% correction just enhancement which was achieved.

 

I've got the meguirs kit, seems good to me
