looking good mat, can i ask what you use to get the soap to stay on the car lol??
i have a pressure washer that i used first to blast over the car, then wash with a bucket and sponge then rinse with the pressure washer and dry
also do you use the clay on the soapy stuff and not the detailer stuff that comes in the kit??
i did wonder if you can just use water as lube for it lol.
and finally, whats best for claing the insides of wheels and getting all the black spots off in the hard to get to bits?
my mate recons that oven cleaner, the foam stuff that sticks is good to use???
im new to cleaning cars properly

If your refering to the first pic mate..Thats G101 brushed round the badges and it naturally suds up mate....
I allways dry the car and use the detailer spray with the clay mate...Just make sure you use plenty of lube for a great results.
I G101 the wheels then agigtate with a brush in all the hard to reach places then clay as you would the car..Also use plenty of lube mate.
I wouldnt use oven cleaner mate...When G101 is better and non harmful and very cheap to buy.

as for claying the wheels, that was what i originally bought the stuff for, but it seemed a right cunt to get off and i havnt had another chance to have another go.
cheers for the tips mat

Right got ya mate...The method i choose to use is
I rinse the car.
Then use snow foam....Which covers all the car in a blanket of foam then let it dwell for 5 mins....Then rinse off...Then i use the 2 bucket method with a megs mitt and then rinse and dry mate.....Hope that helps mate.

if youve got a good coat of wax on the car you can just snow foam the car and rinse without even touching the paintwork and it gets it sparkling clean. i only 2 bucket method mine when its really dirty.
