Clay crap
« on: March 16, 2009, 08:54:54 pm »
Well that's what I thought till I tried it on sunday, washed the car dried it, popped down to halfords and bought a maguires kit with clay/ cloth/detail spray and polish. Well I could'nt believe the differance, bumpy paint then smooth what differance, I'm even using the 2 bucket method after years of the dreded sponge.And a picture of my other love :evil:




And a present from the wife :sick:

Looks great!

Yeah I love meg's clay kit more than sonus green clay. Plus the quick detailer spray smells awesome.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
