best clay bar? / Clay kits / advice please
Hello Guys,
Ive just got a used CLC in Tenorite Grey.
The paintwork has a few stone chips, small scratches etc.. so I'm gonna get them taken care of (prob use 'Chips Away'-Are they any good??).
Anyway, once I have had the chips taken care of, I intend to clay the car to get rid of any overspray and then polish and wax.
Iv'e always used autoglym products, but I'm strangely drawn to the Meguiares Clay bar kit, It seems very good value for money at around £25 for the quick detailer, 2 clay bars and quality ficrofibre finishing cloth. (and £15 for the Megs' smaller starter kit).
(also 'Hell-frauds' are offering a 3 for 2 on all cleaning chemicals at the mo). So even better value...
The paint is Tenorite Grey, not in bad condition, but the previous owner looks to have only taken it to the car wash once a month etc... not a bad thing for me, as not many scratches or swirl marks, but I'd like to bottom it and seal it. As I know the car can look so much better than it does with a bit of elbow grease .
Any advice on Clay bars / lube / kits /and so on.. would be great guys.
I've never clayed a car before, just washed, waxed and polished, using quality products (AG, SRP, UDS, HD wax etc)... however I feel this needs bottoming first (especially after the chips have been painted.
Ive never used Dodo, Poorboys or the other indie products, just the larger comercial brands, so I'm open to suggestions....
Thanks guys
All The Best
