Unfortunately, I didn't get much opportunity to take pictures during the day, we were pretty busy from start to finish. But here's a few.

Snowfoam / Washing / Claying / rinsing done etc

Then it's fast forward right to the end of the day. There was literally n time to take any other pics :sadno:

This shot doesn't work as well in total darkness, it's a much better process done during daylight, luckily I was able to bounce the flash and at least get close to what we were looking for.

Beeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaa-utifulllll!!!!! When can i drop mine off??

Great result!

How long on average do you think it should take to claybar a car? Or does it depend on certain factors like the product your using or how much crud is on the car!?

I'm now sat at my desk sporting a semi!! Top work!

Cheers chaps :ok:

Tomma, clay really depends on several things. Contaminate levels (tar & sap being the worst).

Prep before claying as follows, we always Rinse, foam, rinse, wash, rinse, treat any stubborn muck (tar etc), rinse. Then and only then do you clay. As long as the stubborns have been treated properly, they will come off with the clay, don't rub in the treatment and tar before though :nono: If you are using something like Tardis, it's safest to treat and clay it one panel at a time.

I would say to be safe it takes 2 of us claying anywhere 20-30 mins. That is minus doing alloys. We always remove the wheels to clean them thoroughly and get under the arches, brake callipers, suspension etc.

that's clearly where i'm going wrong, when i've been claying my car the bar has been getting stuck on the bodywork and bits of the bar have smeared off....

Back to car cleaning school for me i think OR get a decent detail sounds better!!

Thanks for the advice much appreciated!

spot on guys,bet your well happy GUY B. now stop lifting the table :whistle:

What kind of lube are you using for the clay Tomma?

Stunning.

Just the meguiar's clay kit as a pack, i'm not really clued up on what to buy so any suggestions for a basic detailing kit would be helpful.... maybe post a 'dummies guide' thread for a car cleaning kit, don't want to hijack Guy's thread!

Hijack away mate, I do it often enough :D

ha ha!

car looks awesome and the despoilered look is growing on me by the day!

As long as you are using the lube that's part of that kit, you should be fine. Just take the time to get the **** off first, as per the earlier post. It can be laborious but it's ultimately worth the effort.

okey cokey i'll give it another go and see how i get on!:smile:

This is the stuff I use

You are better IMHO getting a concentrate like this and making up a spray bottle yourself, make sure you use plenty :ok:

Same happened to me when i used to clay my wagon, if it starts sticking, lube it! works in the bedroom too, she loves a good claying.:cath:

I'll get some of that action later, it's clearly a performance upgrade and will help the car become more streamlined!!:ok:

ha ha! that'll end up with me getting an ass whooping!!

'clay, isn't that what they make pots with?' will be the exact words that come out of her mouth!!

yesterday i filled up a hot water bottle to relieve a bit of muscular pain and i kid you not she said 'oh, it's not going to set fire to the bed is it??':fool:

Ha ha ha, fookin priceless

Love those rims and the de-spoilered look is spot on! :worthy:

What polish are you using Chaps??

Menzerna :ok:

Guys had a 2 stage polish, 1 cut & 1 Final finish, then there were 2 other machine stages before wax.

Guys car sits propper low , with the rear arches rolled , it's spot on .

Really nice matey,really nice,guys done perfect job:worthy:



Jura

Another great job chaps :polish: Really like the look of your car Guy :doubleup:

Thanks gents :ok:

Stunning mate as usual spot on :-)

Looking good chaps,cant wait to have mine done next spring.:polish:

Very nice :) The bonnet is like a mirror! Quick question, any idea where I can get one of these de badge Subaru top grills from?

You can't, you have to get your original one de-badged mate :ok:

Ahh I see, little project for me then :)

The cleanest I've ever seen your car looking Guy: just make sure you keep it that way! :D
